The Chill

Take the plunge. Deep breaths and a focused mindset are key. Your blood vessels narrow, reducing circulation and decreasing inflammation. This is where mental clarity emerges and you find strength in calm during the intensity of the cold.

The contrast

In one session you alternate between our sauna and ice plunges this creates powerful circulation through your body and a natural pumping effect. Your body receives the benefits of contrasting temperatures, offering a pathway to reduce inflammation, improve cardiovascular health, release toxins and build mental resilience—the core to what makes contrast therapy so powerful.
