FAQs

  • You may have experienced cold or icy plunges or sauna sessions separately, but the Thermalist Method® offers a structured, mindful approach that combines these elements in specific, science-backed cycles. It focuses on working with your body’s natural responses through gentle, guided practices tailored to your individual needs and goals. Unlike methods that push extremes, this approach prioritizes safety, breath awareness, and sustainable gradual progress to help you build resilience and wellbeing over time.

    Before each session, we’ll take time to answer your questions and ensure you feel comfortable and supported throughout.

  • Yes, when guided properly, cold exposure can be hugely beneficial for women’s health and well-being. There are key differences in how women and men respond to the cold, and even factors like where you are in your menstrual cycle can affect how you feel it. That’s why every session is guided and personalised, we adapt exposure methods, timing, and temperature to suit your experience and circumstances. A full health consultation beforehand helps us tailor the session to what’s right for you. Cold therapy doesn’t always mean a full plunge; there are many safe and effective ways to work with the cold. Having a certified instructor present ensures you’re supported every step of the way.

  • No, it’s not recommended. Your body is already under stress fighting off an infection, and adding more, even micro, stress can make symptoms worse or prolong illness. If you’re unwell, just let us know and we’ll happily reschedule your workshop to a convenient date.

  • Yes! You can book for friends, family, or as a private corporate workshop.

    Get in touch via the contact page so that we can discuss options and create a bespoke workshop tailored to your group.

  • It’s best to only have a light meal or snack before your session. You’re likely to feel uncomfrtable if you have a full stomach, just like any other form of exercise.

    Staying hydrated is also important, before and after. Avoid too much caffein before the sesssion (1 coffee/tea is fine). We will help you stay hydrated and provide light snacks during the session to help you top up any key nutrients your body is releasing.

    After the workshop, give yourself a little time to relax and then refuel, your body will thank you!
