I reset the nerve that controls your stress, sleep, mood & gut - through breath, heat & cold. 🫁🔥🧊

Before there was a studio, there was my backyard.

Every Monday and Friday, people showed up on the grass. We'd breathe, we'd get in the cold. No fancy space, just a couple of tubs and the willingness to feel. I watched people change week after week. They got steadier. And so did I. That's what made this undeniable.

You don't need an expensive setup to train your nervous system. You need your breath and a reason to show up. Start by seeing where you're at, free 60-second breath test: https://vault.thevagalmethod.com/breath-test

Three years ago, this is all Plunsana was.

An empty space and a key. No plunges, no sauna, no red light. Just a vision I couldn't shake and a whole lot of fear. Three years later, thousands of nervous systems have found their calm in this room. Funny what one terrifying yes turns into.

We're celebrating with a party called Zero Gravity, Saturday August 29, 6:30 to 11pm, here at the studio in St. Pete. Send me a message and I'll get you the ticket link.

The day I became a Wim Hof Method Instructor.

The Pyrenees mountains. A group of strangers who'd become family. We walked into a frozen lake together, doing the thing most people can't imagine. This is one of the core memories of my life. Not for the cold, but for who I stood beside, and who I had to become to get there.

Send this to the person who'd walk into a frozen lake with you.

My very first ice bath. Sarasota, Florida.

I had no idea this one cold, shaking, panicked moment would rewrite my entire life. A Wim Hof fundamentals workshop. I got in, my breath went ragged, everything in me screamed to get out. Then I found the long exhale, and everything changed. That's the day the path opened.

Send this to someone standing at the edge of their own cold water.

Every face here did something they didn't think they could do.

They walked into a Wim Hof fundamentals workshop nervous, unsure, a little scared. They walked out steadier. Proud. More sure of what they're made of. That's what a hard thing done on purpose gives you: proof that the story in your head was smaller than the truth.

Same two kids. Three first days of school.

Elin and Leo, one year at a time. You blink and they're taller, braver, more themselves. The work I really do is this: staying regulated enough to actually be here for it. Not bracing for the next thing, not half on my phone. Here. They won't remember what I gave them. They'll remember whether I was calm enough to be with them.

Everyone thinks the ice bath is about suffering.

Look closer. These are the faces after. After the gasp, after the panic, after the mind finally goes quiet and the body realizes it's okay. That smile is a nervous system discovering it can find calm inside something hard. That's the whole point. Not the cold, the calm you find in it.

I walked barefoot across fire in Poland.

It was a Wim Hof instructor reunion. We spent hours circling this blaze, singing, chanting, getting our nervous systems ready to do what the mind swears is impossible. Then we walked, across the coals, and nothing burned. The fire was never the point. Your state decides what your body can do.

Send this to someone who needs the reminder.

A practice I don't talk about much on here.

Hands moving over the body, working with the energy. Prana, chi, ka. Every old tradition points at the same truth: what you feel, you can move. I leaned on this hard for a season, and it taught me the nervous system responds to more than breath. It responds to attention, to touch, to intention.

Before I ever had a studio, this was the work.

Guiding people through their first ice bath, standing beside them, talking them back to their breath when everything in them wanted to run. The cold was never the teacher. The breath is. One long exhale tells the body it's safe, even when the water is screaming otherwise.
