How our story began

Our philosophy originates from Dr. Aki Hintsa. As a missionary doctor in Africa to working with Olympic athletes and Formula 1, he found two things. That performance is built on a foundation of wellbeing. And that wellbeing is holistic. Two decades later, his methods continue to inspire leaders in sports and business to great achievement.

Contact our experts

Most health programmes have a specialist model – you engage with different experts and need to make sense of often conflicting advice yourself.

The Hintsa model is integrated – you retain personal contact to each specialist, but your Hintsa Performance Coach integrates each expert’s advice into your programme.
