Our Intro Workshops & Experiences

Start here

To join our Guided Ice Bath and Sauna Drop-in Sessions, you’ll first need to complete either the Thermalist® Method Workshop (2.5hrs) or the Intro Workshop (1hr 15mins).

Thermalist® Method Experience Workshop (2.5hrs)
Think of this as the full adventure: you’ll explore the science, breathwork and safety, with plenty of guided time in ice and heat. It is the most thorough way to build confidence and set yourself up for all future sessions.

Intro to Contrast Therapy Workshop Express (1hr 15mins)
A gentler starting point that still gives you the essentials, guided practice, seasonal focus and a taste of the benefits without going quite as deep.

Choose the Thermalist Workshop if you are ready to immerse yourself fully from the start. Pick the Intro if you would prefer to ease in more lightly.

You can book Sunday Reset sessions and Drop-in Sauna sessions without completing an Intro Express Workshop or Thermalist Method Workshop.

Thermalist® Method Experience Workshop (2.5hr)

  • Experience an ice bath, followed by a dry sauna, and reflect by the fire with a warm drink (weather permitting). After completing this workshop, you’ll be ready to book any of our other sessions!

Learn safe, proven techniques to boost mental clarity, support stress relief, strengthen your immune system and enhance recovery, all guided by Emma Heslop, a Certified Thermalist® Method Instructor.
