#23 The Magic Of Cold Water Therapy with Heather Ashley

Back in August I did something I thought I'd never do.  I lay in a bath FULL of ice for 2 minutes!Having always had a dislike for the cold, it was only after I'd read about the benefits of cold water therapy, particularly for women going through menopause, that I thought I'd see what it's all about so when I saw that there was a Wim Hof workshop happening locally, I signed up.The workshop was run by the brilliant Heather Ashely who led us through some breath work, movement and to finish with, an ice bath!I found the experience truly transformational and the best bit was the five day natural high the following week!I'm now a cold water convert and am so delighted that I got to chat to Heather on the podcast.As well as being a Wim Hof Method instructor, Heather is also a Health coach, nutritional therapist, PT and last but not least, a healthy habit creator.I loved this episode as Heather shares so many practical tips how you too can experience the benefits of cold water therapy, even if you don't live near the sea! Come and have a listen to discover: How and why Heather got into cold water therapyWhat the Wim Hof method isThe benefits of cold water therapyHow cold water therapy is particularly helpful for women in peri/menopauseHow to get started with cold water therapy even if you don't live near the seaHow long you should stay in forHow to warm up safelyTo get in touch with Heather and find out more about her Wim Hof Method workshops:https://heatherashleyhealthfitness.com/https://www.instagram.com/heather_ashley__/You can send your questions for my World Menopause Day Special episode to [email protected] or DM me at https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/To register for my brand new workshop 'HOW TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE OR ELIMINATE YOUR MENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS' go to https://www.pollywarren.com/workshopDownload 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.Download The Breath Check-Up - your FREE guide to understanding how well you're breathing right now.Download my energising 5 Minute Morning Practice to get your day started in the best way possible.To find out more about my membership The Inner Space go to:  https://www.pollywarren.com/theinnerspaceEmail me at:  [email protected]://www.pollywarren.com/https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/
