Where wellness meets community.
Built with care, grounded in science, and designed for everyone.
Co-founders and friends Nat Canonaco and Alex Pesusich each discovered contrast therapy independently before joining forces to create something for their community.
Nat discovered contrast therapy through necessity. After 37 years in martial arts, including 11 professional kickboxing fights and 3 boxing bouts, his body required serious recovery. What began with ice baths after fights and saunas for weight cutting evolved into a ritual, which he realized also kept him sharp in his career: the exceptionally fast-paced world of global IT sales.
He’d drive to a local lake with a buddy for winter cold plunges, chasing that clarity and focus he knew three minutes in frigid water delivered. It worked for him. But it was also seasonal, inconvenient, and inconsistent.
Alex came to cold therapy from a different angle.
Thirty-five years as a professional dancer and over a decade coaching kickboxing had taken their toll. He’d always known contrast therapy was powerful for the body, but it wasn’t until he’d spent a few days at a contrast therapy venue in Whistler that something clicked. Immersed in nature with all tech devices firmly out of reach, he experienced something beyond physical recovery: a complete mental reset.
Coming home to the Lower Mainland, he realized the closest comparable experience was across town in North Van. When Nat and Alex compared notes, they realized they’d been chasing the same thing. And that’s when the idea hit to create something closer, that they could share with the Coquitlam community.
Both Nat and Alex wanted their local community to have easy access to these powerful practices.
They believed contrast therapy shouldn’t require a long drive or the cost and complexity of setting up equipment at home. Their vision was simple: bring these transformative tools closer to the people who could benefit from them.
