Man Cold Plunging

how to feelgood

  • wood fire cedar sauna

    Built by our founders right here on Vancouver Island, our cedar sauna is a reflection of the coast itself — simple, strong, and restorative. Using locally sourced materials and a HUUM heater loaded with 90 kg of stone, it delivers a rich, wet heat. We encourage pouring water over the stones, infused with essential oils, to release deep, rolling steam and amplify the sensory calm.

    benefits

    Unwind tension + release stress
    Soothe anxiety + find centre
    Boost circulation + sleep deeply
    Rekindle the ritual of shared rest in nature.

    time

    10 - 15 minutes

  • cold plunge

    Step straight into the Englishman River — clear, cold, and flowing with life. Averaging 5–10°C, it’s nature’s purest form of contrast therapy. Surrounded by forest, rock, and the sound of moving water, the plunge brings your body into full presence — a rush that clears the mind and grounds the nervous system

    benefits

    Sharpen focus + lift mood

    Reduce inflammation + boost recovery

    Build mental Strengthen + awaken energy

    Connect with nature + each other

    time

    30 sec. - 3 minutes

  • This is the step most people skip — but not here.

    We built Feelgood for this exact moment.


    After the cold plunge, your body kicks back to life — vessels open, blood rushes, warmth builds from the inside out. Surrounded by nature and a real wood fire, it’s easy to connect — the kind of connection that only comes from doing something a little hard, together.

    benefits

    Slow the heart + calm the mind

    Rehydrate + rebalance

    Support recovery + deepen rest

    Share warmth + conversation

    time

    10 - 15 minutes (complete this cycle three times)

Feeling good doesn’t have to be complicated.  

We created feelgood for community—a space designed to help you feel good, naturally.  At feelgood, we believe in the transformative power of contrast therapy in nature to reset, reconnect, and restore.

From February to June 2025, we’ll be popping up in Parksville, Vancouver Island, so come immerse yourself in our river cold plunge, wood-fired sauna, and campfire relaxation circle. Here, community and transformation come together.

Step into the warmth of our custom Finnish-style sauna, handcrafted from 100% locally sourced materials on Vancouver Island.

Spend 10–15 minutes inside, letting your body sweat, detoxify, and recharge. It’s a space to unwind, reconnect—with yourself or others.
Immerse yourself in the Englishman River (Kw’a’luxw) for a truly natural and grounding cold plunge. Prefer a different approach? A Cold shower is also available. 

We recommend 1–3 minutes in the cold—an practice that challenges both body and mind, leaving you refreshed and revitalized.
The often-overlooked phase that truly makes you feelgood. After the thermal shock, adrenaline fades, and endorphins—your body's "happiness hormones"—take over, bringing a deep sense of relaxation and calm.

We recommend resting by the fire for 10–15 minutes to fully embrace this soothing phase.

we believe in community.
