"Become happier, healthier, and stronger with this essential guide that explores the unique benefits that cold water therapy, along with breathing and mindset exercises, can afford women" --

Isabelle and Laura Hof, longtime practitioners and instructors of the Wim Hof Method (WHM), have created a resource aimed at making the method more accessible to women. Based on three core pillars--breathing, cold therapy, and mindset--the WHM is supported by scientific research and associated with benefits such as improved energy, sleep, immunity, and overall well-being. Recognizing the method's specific applications for women, the Hof sisters founded the Icewomen community and authored Secrets of the Icewomen to explore these connections.
