Delivered by:
Hello! I’m Jenny, The Cold Water Therapist – Wild Swimming Guide, Qualified Cold Water Therapist, STA Open Water Safety holder, Stress Reduction Practitioner and Mental Health Trainer (and survivor!) The past few years have been tough. A combination of hugely stressful events led to one almighty burnout in December 2020. I felt completely broken, beyond repair. My brain was in utter overdrive, and I could barely function. Then I found the magic of cold water. My first dip silenced the brain chatter and I realised I had found a way out – a means of control. I now work to share the many benefits of cold water therapy and outdoor swimming – whether it’s fun and adventure you crave or a mindful self-care practice.
