From our CEO
At 22 years old, you don't expect to be rolled through a hospital in a wheelchair and told you have arthritis (an autoimmune disease), becoming a prisoner to your own body. The interesting thing about not being able to walk, though, is that your perspective on everything gets flipped upside down. Some matters quickly become important, while others become trivial.
Over the last five years, I have been searching for answers to the complicated challenge of reversing my autoimmune disease; a search that has taken me to the mountains and beaches of Costa Rica, where I experienced the value of cold plunging and its impact on both mind and body.
While there, I was introduced to breathwork and was taught how to combine these holistic therapies to reduce the pain and inflammation wreaking havoc on my body. Committing to cold water immersion therapy, I began to feel a change both physically and mentally.
But the journey didn't stop there. I started Nordic Wave out of a personal need to make cold water immersion part of my daily therapy routine, while bringing new cold plunge solutions to the market. Our team is focused on supporting those seeking to maintain their health, as well as others like me, seeking holistic health transformations for long-term renewal.

At Nordic Wave, we set out with a singular mission: to bring the transformative benefits of cold water immersion into the lives of those who seek to elevate their wellness. We wanted to create more than just a product; we wanted to create a lifestyle—one rooted in holistic health and supported by modern innovation. Together, the Viking cold plunge and Nordic Flow breathwork app provide the tools and resources to help you take control of your health, energize your body, and calm your mind.
Benefits of cold water therapy
Cold water immersion means submerging in ice-cold water for a refreshing and transformative health boost.
Reduce inflammation and muscle soreness
Reduce inflammation and muscle soreness
Cold water immersion helps reduce inflammation and muscle soreness by constricting blood vessels and reducing the production of inflammatory substances. It can also minimize the buildup of lactic acid, which contributes to muscle fatigue.
Boost circulation and energy
Boost circulation and energy
The cold forces your body to work harder to maintain core temperature, which strengthens your circulatory system. The result? Better blood flow, improved cardiovascular health, and a sustained, natural energy boost—without needing another cup of coffee.
Improve immune function
Improve immune function
Consistent cold exposure can increase white blood cell count and activate the lymphatic system, helping your body become more resilient against illness. Over time, your immune system becomes stronger, more adaptive, and better equipped to fight off everyday stressors.
Enhance mental resilience
Enhance mental resilience
Standing strong in freezing water trains more than just your physical body—it sharpens your mind. By learning to control your breath and stay present in discomfort, you build mental strength, reduce stress, and increase your ability to stay calm under pressure.
