Contrast Therapy, Ice Bath and Sauna
IN SURREY WITH EMMA HESLOP
Discover contrast therapy, breathwork and sauna rituals in a beautiful private garden setting in Surrey. Expertly guided by Emma Heslop, trained by renowned thermalist Dr Susanna Søberg.
A LITTLE SPACE TO RECONNECT
WHAT IS CONTRAST THERAPY?
Welcome to Empower Mind Body Spirit, a little space I've created in Claygate, Surrey, where you can step away from the everyday, reconnect with your body and discover the benefits of contrast therapy.
Contrast therapy combines cold water immersion, sauna heat and breathwork to support your nervous system, aid recovery and build resilience. But for me, it's about so much more than the physical benefits. It's about creating space to pause, challenge yourself gently and discover just how capable your body can be.
As a Certified Thermalist® Method Instructor, Certified Oxygen Advantage® Instructor and qualified Sauna Master, I'm passionate about sharing these practices in a way that feels welcoming, supportive and accessible to everyone.
Alongside my guided ice bath and contrast therapy sessions, I offer regular sauna classes, including Stretch & Sauna and Breathe & Sauna, bringing together the restorative warmth of the sauna with gentle movement and mindful breathing. My immersive sauna rituals offer something a little different, combining heat, aromatherapy, sound and sensory experiences to create moments of deep relaxation and renewal.
Breathwork is at the heart of much of what I do. Through gentle, guided techniques, I'll help you discover how your breath can support you through stress, build confidence in the cold and bring a greater sense of calm into everyday life. I also offer dedicated breathwork coaching and courses for those who'd like to explore this further.
Whether you're completely new to ice baths and sauna or already enjoy them as part of your wellbeing routine, there's a place for you here. From small group experiences to private 1:1 sessions, I'll guide you at your own pace, helping you feel comfortable, confident and supported.
I look forward to welcoming you.

The Afterglow
Contrast Therapy: Thermalist® Method
The Thermalist® Method is a science-led approach to contrast therapy, bringing together cold and heat exposure, breathwork and mindful awareness to support the body and regulate the nervous system.
Developed by Dr Susanna Søberg, a leading researcher in this field and founder of the Thermalist® Method, it offers a safe and structured way to work with your body’s natural responses. This approach supports resilience, enhances recovery and helps restore a deeper sense of balance and wellbeing.
At Empower, the Thermalist® Method is offered as a carefully guided, supportive experience - bringing together science-led practice with a calm, considered environment.
Each session is designed to help you build confidence in both cold and heat, learn how to work with your breath, and develop a deeper awareness of your body’s natural responses. With expert guidance throughout, you’re supported to move at your own pace while gaining the full benefits of the method.
Begin with a workshop and then continue your practice through guided sessions.
