As a Breathwork & Cold Exposure facilitator, I share what I have learned and am passionate about becoming a true agent of change.

  • Claudia's Journey with Cold Exposure

    Claudia is an Anishinaabe Kwe woman who loves finding cold water in the alpine.

    Claudia fell in love with cold water swimming seven years ago after jumping into Iceland’s famous iceberg-filled Jökulsárlón (glacial lagoon). From wild alpine lakes, to intentionally practicing cold exposure therapy regularly in the streams and rivers closer to home in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh BC, Claudia takes every opportunity to immerse herself in cold water.

    As a facilitator, Claudia utilizes a combination of meditation and breathwork to create a safe and supportive space for participants to sink into the experience and begin listening to their body's wants/ needs before taking the plunge into the cold water.

    After practicing cold exposure therapy for the better part of seven years and learning how incredibly beneficial it is to one's mental and physical health, Claudia began facilitating cold exposure events in 2021 in the hopes to share these mental and physical health benefits with others, increase education around cold exposure therapy, and create community.
