Hopkins, a Registered Nurse, Licensed Massage Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Speaker, Cold Plunge & Dipping Enthusiast and Guide, and the Owner of the Saltwater Mountain Co. which hosts community cold dips, cold exposure retreats, and educational conversations on the benefits of cold therapy. Amy's mission is to empower women, support mental health, and build community.

Amy and I had a wonderful conversation all about the why, the how, and the spirituality of cold exposure, cold plunging, and cold dipping. 

We talked about:

• Her story of how she started her cold dips,
• How cold dipping can help with grieving and loss,
• The community ocean dips versus dipping in a trough at home,
• My past life memory of cold dipping,
• Why women are drawn to cold exposure and cold dipping at this time and even more so in midlife,
• The physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of cold exposure,
• Why finding your own way through this ancient practice matters,
• And more.

Here are my cold dipping essentials* to help you get started, including the trough I use at home and the neoprene gear I recommend.

Here's the novel I mentioned* in our conversation.
