I'm Liz. I live by the sea lochs of the west coast of Scotland, and I've been jumping into cold water since I was a wee lass!
But in the last few years, I've navigated the most challenging moments of my life – a level of grief, loss and chronic anxiety that had my brain on overdrive and my body exhausted.
Cold plunging and breathwork were my lifebelts. The only thing that allowed me to keep putting one foot in front of the other, when all I wanted to do was collapse.
We all have our own cold tub to face plunging into in life. If you've found yourself too anxious or scared to take a leap in life..we'll use breathwork and cold water to help you build the resilience and capacity to face it.
Trained, certified, and ready for whatever the water brings.
Every Chilly Dooker session is led with proper training behind it — because feeling alive should never come at the cost of feeling safe.

Enquire TodayI created Chilly Dooker
because it's what I needed myself.
Chilly Dooker grew out of years of using breathwork and cold plunging for my own self care, and working with so many midlife women who feel like an alien in their own skin.
I wanted to help others feel more like themselves again too; less stressed; more resilient – ALIVE!
I've swum with wild dolphins in the Red Sea, led cold water and breathwork sessions at a château in France, and stood knee-deep in a Scottish sea loch more mornings than I can count...wondering "why do I keep doing this?"
The answer's always the same: because it works.
Cold water and breathwork.
Not some latest trend.
Both have been used for centuries as tools for regulation, resilience, and reconnection of mind, body and soul. Together they do something that's hard to describe and easy to feel.
The breathwork soothes your nervous system. The cold wakes it up. You walk out feeling more alive than you have in years... and wanting to do it again!
