Garden Spa Evening

Service Description

We will learn and practice some breathing techniques scientifically proven to calm the nervous system, which is a #1 priority during the menopause and beyond, to help manage symptoms and stress. We will also have an introduction to contrast therapy, using a sauna and cold water immersion/cold shower in my garden. Many people either love the heat of a sauna or feel it is too much for them, and the same for the cold. I can control the heat of the sauna to introduce you to it more gently than a public sauna at a set heat. The garden pool is about the same temperature as WeirWood Reservoir. When you go between the sauna and the cold pool, it doesn't feel that cold, it actually feels nice and refreshing after the heat. For the more experienced cold water dippers, I can give you an extra cold immersion experience if you want. I have a cold water therapy bath which I can chill to 3 degrees! This is not for first timers but for those already acclimatised tot he cold. We will finish the evening with a hot chocolate/tea and a chat about wellbeing and menopause and how breathing can influence how we feel. It is a chance to have fun, connect with other women and offer support, and learn more about managing stress and menopausal symptoms with breath work and hot/cold therapy. The event will be held in my garden in East Grinstead. When you book, you will receive the address and a suggested list of what to bring. *Contrast therapy is not suitable for people with a serious heart condition, unregulated high blood pressure, or other serious illness.
