Lead Powerful Ice Bath Experiences Without Risking Your Safety, Reputation, or Insurance
Your reputation is at risk if you run ice baths without knowing this.
WARNING: Unqualified Ice Bath Instructors Risk Being Sued
Running ice bath events without proper training isn’t just a risk… it’s a liability. You’re exposed legally, ethically, and emotionally.
The Hidden Danger You Didn’t See Coming
You’ve probably seen the buzz: cold water therapy is booming!
People are turning to ice baths to manage stress, reduce anxiety, build resilience, and reconnect with their bodies.
But there’s a dark truth no one’s talking about:
According to a 2024 report by The National, at least 10–15 deaths worldwide have been linked to breathwork and cold exposure, often in unregulated, unsupervised environments.
In nearly every case, the instructors were unqualified or lacked proper safety frameworks.
If you’re running sessions without training, without a clear safety framework, and without insurance...
You’re not just putting your clients at risk.
You’re risking your reputation, your business, and potentially someone’s life.
Fear, Uncertainty, and the “What Ifs” That Haunt You
You show up to guide an ice bath and smile through it.
But in the back of your mind?
What if something goes wrong?
What if someone panics or passes out?
What if they ask a question you can’t answer?
This anxiety keeps you from being present. It blocks your flow.
It stops you from becoming the confident, trusted facilitator you want to be.
The Coaches Who Thrive Are the Ones Who Evolve
Let’s be honest: the wellness industry is shifting.
What used to work - pretty Instagram feeds, generalised advice, basic breathwork - doesn’t cut it anymore. The industry is saturated with coaches. What we need now are facilitators, leaders who can create real, tangible, transformational experiences.
This certification gives you that edge.
It’s not just another course. It’s a shift in how you show up, from “talking about wellness” to facilitating it in real time.
Safely. Professionally. Unforgettably.

Most People Think It’s Just Getting in the Ice
Until they watch a master in action.
This isn’t about grit or being the toughest in the tub.
It’s about reading the room, knowing when to push and when to hold space, and helping someone unlock something they didn’t think was possible.
That’s the skill that separates a coach from a confident, certified facilitator.
