Meet the happiest version of you
We believe in order to step into your happiest, healthiest selves, you must give yourself permission to be vulnerable, release what feels heavy & break conditioned patterns. Easier said than done, right? Well, what if you had a community & a practice that helps you do just that?
The moment I decided to take control of my story.
It was Monday morning, I was prepping for another zoom meeting. I felt my heart beating unusually fast, my lips started to tingle & before I knew it, I couldn’t breathe. A panic attack.
I looked in the mirror and knew it was time to change my life.
Chances are, you’ve been at this crossroad before too. When you know that it’s time to take control of your life, close a chapter & start a new one.
It’s scary as hell. But guess what? You can do it.
I know you can because I did. All you have to do is choose to take that first step outside of your comfort zone to see all of the magic that lies beyond it. Everything you’ve ever dreamed of is waiting for you to claim it. You are stronger & more capable than you realize.
So, are you in? Come take a soul plunge with me.
We’re the humans behind Soul Plunge
About
Co-Founder Mia Heck
From Sunday scaries to Sunday Soul Plunge
I looked at what wasn't working in my life with love & gratitude for all it has taught me & said goodbye to my comfort. I credit this courage to…cold ass water. The cold taught me that I am so much stronger than my limiting beliefs.
I saw how many people were experiencing similar struggles, felt stuck & couldn’t see a different path. I knew I needed to create a safe space for humans to heal, so they too can experience the freedom of stepping outside of their comfort zones & into their happiest selves.
Starting over is tough, but you owe it to yourself to become everything you’ve dreamed of. Don't know where to start? Start here, with us. We’ve got you.
About
Co-Founder Matt Heck
I knew I found something magical
Throughout my life, I have dealt with physical symptoms of stress. I accepted that in order to heal my physical body, I had to heal my mental health first. I went on a journey to find the most impactful ways to improve my mental health… that led me to Wim Hof & cold plunging. The first time I went into a cold plunge I knew I found something magical.
Cold plunging & breath work has helped put me back in control both mentally & physically. I am able to be more accepting of sensations & have developed a greater understanding of my mind-body connection.
Our mission at Soul Plunge is to create a space for EVERYONE to experience the transformative power of cold plunging & breathwork.
