THE WHY
CryoShower emerged from frustration with the rising water temperatures. The initial 30 seconds of a cold shower is the toughest to master and yet the most rewarding. I struggled with mental health issues, low self-esteem, and a need for effective pain management.
I discovered solace in the unconventional wisdom of the renowned “Wim Hof”. His discussion with Joe Rogan on cold showers became a pivotal moment for me in 2019. If I hadn’t embraced the cold at the time, I doubt I would be here today to share the incredible journey of CryoShower.
In 2007, a life-altering injury reshaped the trajectory of my life. In 2019, I was compelled to change everything and reclaim control. I enrolled in a Wim Hof course, which marked the beginning of my obsession with the profound effects of cold-water exposure.
I had an epiphany that drove me to aspire to create devices that not only intensify the coldness of showers but also make a meaningful impact on other people’s lives, just like it had on mine.
CryoShower provides people with the tools to instigate change in their lives and move forward without looking back.
The journey has been hard, but the rewards have been fulfilling.
