6 New Cold Water Facilitators Qualified with Kay Lou Academy 🌊

After 18 months of work behind the scenes, countless hours of writing, filming, researching, and refining, yesterday marked a milestone moment for Kay Lou Academy — our very first in-person Cold Water Facilitator & Basic Life Support training day. And it was everything I dreamed it could be.

6 New Cold Water Facilitators Step Into Their Power

Six incredibly capable, empathetic individuals joined us for the day. They showed up fully, with open minds and open hearts.

✨ They listened.
✨ They practiced.
✨ They held space.

I had the privilege of watching them move from students to facilitators, stepping into a space that is currently unregulated, but rapidly growing, with clarity, confidence, and deep care.

Because here’s the truth: Anyone can buy an ice bath, but not everyone should be guiding others into it.

This is exactly why cold water facilitator training is so important and why we created the Cold Water Facilitator Course at Kay Lou Academy.

So what’s next?
Well...this is just the beginning!

❄️ Our next in-person Cold Water Facilitator Training Day takes place on 30th October.

❄️ Additional training dates will be added as demand continues to grow.

If you’re already offering cold water therapy, ice baths, or guided immersion experiences, I urge you: educate your team. Protect your clients. Protect your practice.

I am always happy to support or consult with any individual, business, or organisation looking to raise standards and deliver safe, transformative cold water sessions.

And to every soul who has trusted me on this journey so far, thank you. My heart is very, very full. 💙

Peace and Love, Kay Lou
