Curious but unsure about cold therapy?
You're not alone. Rose will guide you every step of the way - no experience is needed, you'll be safe and supported. Even a toe dip counts in the warmer tub counts, so there's no pressure or expectation to fully immerse in the water. We've all got to start somewhere, it's the starting that counts.

Previous cold exposure & sauna experience? Want to learn how to do it most effectively?
Let's tune up your current practice for maximal benefits with minimal risks. You can try out both of the cold tubs: 12-14 degrees C cold tub and 8-10 degrees C.

THE THERMALIST METHOD®

Join Rose for the Thermalist® Method Experience - the supportive contrast therapy experience that combines cold and heat exposure with guided breathwork and mindfulness.

“I was nervous about the cold - Rose made sure I felt safe and understood every step.”

"The knowledge and insight we gained from Rose was exceptional, and no question on techniques and the science behind it was left unanswered."

Through a combination of cold exposure, heat therapy, breathwork, and meditation, you’ll build resilience and confidence. No pressure, just go at your own pace - every step will supported.

The Thermalist Method® isn’t just another wellness trend. It’s a method rooted in over a decade of scientific research by author and scientist, Dr. Susanna Søberg, PhD in metabolism.

Science-Backed Benefits You’ll Experience:
• Calmness that stays with you
• A sense of confidence and mastery
• Better sleep and renewed energy
• Physical rejuvenation and mental clarity
• Tools you can use every day

"Rose was so calm when leading a novice like me through my first contrast therapy session. She made me feel safe and her knowledge shone through. The science was fascinating and the after-feeling was such a natural high!"

"I was surprised how good it felt both during and after the cold water immersion, and I slept 12 hours solid afterwards!"

SOME MYTHS TO BUST:

Can women cold plunge safely & benefit? Yes! Women get all the same benefits as men from cold water immersion, but we must factor in the menstrual cycle and menopause when selecting the most suitable protocol.

Is icy water better than 14 degrees? Nope.

Are breath holds are a good idea in cold water? No! This increases the risk of fainting in the water.

When you start sweating it's time to leave the sauna? No, stay in and enjoy the detox. Your sign to leave is when you feel too hot or light-headed.

CONTRAST THERAPY FAQS

Where do I park?

Park in the pay & display car park at Egypt Mill then walk to the house, which will take 3 or 4 minutes.

What should I eat and drink before a workshop?

Have a meal 2-3 hours before or a snack an hour before, to avoid coming with a full tummy.

Can I drink coffee before coming?

Yes of course, Rose couldn't live without a good coffee each morning! Just avoid over caffeinating before the event - 3-4 coffees+ would be too much, but 1 or 2 is absolutely fine.

I’m curious but anxious - will anyone judge me if I go slowly?
Not at all. You’ll always be supported and guided at your pace. Many people start with just a tiny dip and that’s absolutely OK.

What if I get cold quickly and want to stop?
That’s fine. Rose encourages you to listen to your body. Your comfort is part of the process, and Rose will help you find your rhythm.

I'm feeling body conscious. Do I have to wear a bikini , swimming costume or swimming trunks?

Throw a clean lightweight sports top and/or sports shorts over your swimwear if this makes you feel more comfortable - plenty of people do.

Is there an upper or lower age limit?

Rose works with teenagers 14+ with a parent's consent. There is no upper limit - it comes down to individual health. The most mature client of Rose's is aged 72, and she loves cold immersion in the British sea and the ice bath!

I have good experience of cold water immersion and/or contrast therapy - is this event for me?

Yes, absolutely. You will learn the in-depth science and the precise application of contrast therapy to support your personal goals, whether that be: muscle recovery, better mental health, improved insulin sensitivity, pain relief or better sleep.
