ric’s story

As founder of Hart Health, I have to say it has been one hell of a journey to get here. I’m very proud to be able to offer this ground breaking therapy experience, and to share a little of my journey using contrast therapy (hot and cold therapy).

I’m a widowed single parent, I lost my wife 6 years ago, hours after the birth of our son Hugo back in 2018. Through my loss and grief, I explored new ways to help my healing process. These included charity work, exercise, publishing books and becoming a podcast host. I knew I needed a process that would enrich my mind, body and soul, and contrast therapy was my answer.

I’ve been practicing contrast therapy for almost 18 months, I sit in the ice bath and sauna at least 4 times weekly.

Did you know that taking 4+ saunas a week gives a 50% decrease in the chances of having a stroke or heart attack later in life?

I was diagnosed some time ago with PTSD and anxiety with depression, and this therapy has alleviated many of the associated symptoms.

Would I have gone on to write my 7th published book, Growth Through Grief, and create my podcast, if it wasn’t for this therapy? No I don’t believe so.  The internal and external improvements have been extraordinary, and they continue on, including appearances on BBC radio shows and TV sharing my achievements and experiences.

I swear by this therapy as part of a health and wellbeing strategy. It is an integral part of my life now, and is my ultimate dopamine release in the healthiest form. It’s not through drinking alcohol, eating fast food, or binging TV, it’s experiencing the simplest yet most powerful therapy. It influences every aspect of positive release and growth within my life.

Come and experience it for yourself with a contrast therapy session with me.
