#12 Elise Griffin - Finding Peace & Stillness in the Cold: My Ice Bath Experience

In this episode we speak with Elise Griffin from Sydney, Australia. 
Elise is a Breath-work Facilitator & Ice-bath Coach leading participants through a personal transformation lead by the power of ice bath and breathing.

Elise has made herself a name in the community of the Northern Beaches, Sydney for her dedication to healing through cold immersion. She shares her incredible story of struggling with anorexia nervosa as a teenager and how she overcame her struggle with the perception of self thanks to physical and mental support.  

Her journey through yoga brought her to feel a sense of belonging, finally being able to part with her anxiety.  Connecting closely with her most important life force, her breath, Elsie has grown her mindset to become a healthy, happy and self-regulated young woman. As a side effect she also expanded her spiritual self, finding deeper connections than she ever expected.

Thanks to the cold plunge, Elise has been able to overcome her illness and discover the depths of her emotions and needs. The cold is her place to find peace, mindfulness and purpose.  She highlights the importance of consistency and discipline, when wanting to transform our lives.

Since becoming a facilitator, she has offered hundreds of ice bath sessions to our community, immersed herself in trips like swimming in glacier lakes and is now offering a facilitator training from September 2024.
