Testimonials
Transformational breathwork, beautiful sound work, and loved the cold therapy
"Sam was an amazing facilitator. He was inspiring, incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic and had a wonderful aura. I felt completely supported through the whole workshop and would highly recommend him. The workshop was fascinating, the breathwork transformational and the sound work beautiful. I loved the cold water therapy. Breathing, dancing with heightened senses after cold water immersion in a stunning Cornish setting with the Spring wind and rain of storm Kathleen is an experience I will treasure. I am blown away by my emotional and physical responses to the Wim Hof method and will definitely be booking more workshops with Sam. Thank you."

A magical pocket of serenity with saunas and cold plunges
"Soul sweats wild spa is a truly magical pocket of serenity. I had a nourishing experience in this little spot hugged by trees and held by the earth of a high viewpoint with stunning scenery. A peaceful place with plenty of nooks to breathe and relax while being immersed in nature, knitted together with the saunas and cold plunges, offering the many health benefits of temperature contrast therapy. The co-founders and main holders of this space, Sam and Jana, if you meet them and experience this place for yourself, you can just tell that they really do care about what they do, about allowing people to feel truly comfortable and able with all that you are. This beautiful corner sits offering a space and experience that opens a page of thought, fertile for growth, realignment, and curiosity! ♡"

Last minute sauna, impressed with the site and experience
"My partner, friends and I booked in for a last minute sauna and were so impressed with the site and experience we had at Soul Sweats. We were greeted by Sam who showed us around and looked after us the whole time. The facilities are top notch, and the cold plunges surrounded by woodland is an amazing natural experience. We will definitely be returning, thank you Sam! 🌱"

Informative breath work, soothing yoga, ice bath, sauna, hot tub
"This is a second visit to a Soul Sweats’ retreat and it won’t be the last. It is such a privilege to be with individuals who are balm. The location, energy and the different experiences are a level above; definitely worth gold star recommendation. The breath work is informative, developmental and reassuring, the yoga with chakra is soothing and the preparedness for the ice bath with the additional sea dip, sauna and hot tub all resound deeply. Wholesome, purposeful food that added the final perfect touch - my reference is a glowing one."

After this experience, I walked away with newfound resilience
"I’ve always considered myself tough when it comes to cold water, but I’ve never been a fan of the cold overall. After this experience, though, I walked away with a newfound sense of resilience—and now I’ve even got my own barrel at home! The craziest part? I actually look forward to daily dips. A huge part of that shift is thanks to Sam, who was an amazing instructor. He made the entire experience feel manageable and supportive, helping me push through the discomfort with confidence."

Visited their eco park site, a special tranquil place
"We visited their eco park site. What a special place. So tranquil and serene. The sauna is maybe the most beautiful sauna I’ve ever been in / seen and the views were incredible. Lying in the cold tub, surrounded by trees and birds singing. You can really tell that so much thought has been put into the whole experience."

Wow! This place is a sanctuary, feels like the garden of Eden!
"Wow! This place is a sanctuary! A slice of heaven nestled amongst an orchid, feels like the garden of Eden! The main sauna overlooks Porthtowan beach, the view is breathtaking! The temperature was nice and hot and there is a plunge pool sat under trees letting you feel secluded and connected with nature. There’s space to relax and bath in the sun, cold AND hot showers! The place is well thought out and that’s not all, there is a geo dome where various breathwork and sound journey sessions take place, you can see all events on there easy to use website, and the people who run it are lovely, Sam is a Wim Hof trained instructor who personally trained with the Iceman! He’s aura emits calmness, wisdom and friendliness, you won’t want to leave this place! I haven’t taken any photos because I wanted to switch of and restore, and that’s exactly how I feel after leaving, full of good energy, this a Michelin star or the sauna world! Thank you Soul Sweats 🥰🙏"
