My story

Hello! I'm Jenny, The Cold Water Therapist and I live with my husband, two daughters and Miniature Schnauzer in West Lothian, Scotland. 

​

The past few years have been tough. A combination of hugely stressful events led to one almighty burnout in December 2020. I felt completely broken, beyond repair. My brain was in utter overdrive and I could barely function.

​

After several months of turmoil and with a gentle nudge from my free-diving Brother, I discovered the magic of cold water. My first dip silenced the brain chatter, flooded me with dopamine and I realised I had found a way through - a means of control.

This relief sparked my interest and I began to research Cold Water Therapy. Fast-forward to the present day and not only am I a qualified Cold Water Therapist, Teacher, Coach and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) practitioner, but I have also gained friends, adventure and joy from my love of blue spaces. I have lived experience and want to share all of the tools and positive habits that have helped me move forward with you.

I have years of wild swimming experience and hundreds of swims and dips under my belt. My career in teaching has flowed naturally into the role of coach, mentor and trainer in the field of Mental Wellness, Resilience and Emotional Intelligence.

I am fully qualified with the STA in open water safety, fully insured and a proud member of Wild Scotland.

Swimming outdoors and practicing Cold Water Therapy has been my savior through the process of losing my beloved Mum, and it has been my teacher. It continues to support me through life's changes and challenges.

I want to share, to guide and support you too. Whether you are looking for adventure, fun, therapy or all of these;

​

I've got you.
