what our thermalist instructors are saying
5 out of 5 ! The bite-size nature of the video instructions made it really digestible and easy to pick up in manageable learning modules. Good balance of the scientific background and research to underpin the benefits and practical applications. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in improving their physical and mental health through the most natural and readily accessible heat and cold therapy. This could be genuinely life-changing for those willing to commit the three weeks needed to create new habits that lead to the Thermalist lifestyle. Brilliant!
Such a pleasure taking this certification !! Just brilliant presented and easy to follow and do. I rate it 5 out of 5! I love the bite-size library of content. I could do it in my own pace, and rewatch, which fit my worklife. Dr. Soeberg really made a well-balanced course of both theory and practice - you know why this is good and then how to do it. The thermalist is really a lifechanging approach! Eye opening course. Thanks to Dr. Susanna Soeberg for everything you do.
The meditation is a great addition to the program. It helps to tie in all aspects of the Method. It helps the client become much more aware of their experience, how their body feels, and how they are feeling at each stage of the workshop. Personally, I enjoyed the meditation as it helps to calm the mind and the body during the sauna process. It gives a something to focus on and helps to stay calm and relaxed and spend longer in the sauna.
It is a great framework. It is simple and clear. The strcuture and journey the clients will go through creates interest all the way through the workshop. It is a good framework that is simple to follow.
AMAZING. Actually I cried a bit in second round but felt amazing. Never thought it would have as big of an impact as the plunges itself. I see the same stress relief in my workshop costumers. This program is really in practice giving the science of health and it shows.
I love the structure behind the TM protocol. The simplicity and consistency is perfect and I can’t wait to conduct my first workshop in the near future.
In the end of the TM workshop all three costumers very much enjoyed the calm and meditation in the sauna (thanks Susanna for the audio recordings!). Also the informative part went really smooth and I could answer any coming up questions. It felt really good.
The protocol is perfect for a template to follow for workshops and provides a simple science backed way to have people safely explore contrast therapy.
The protocol is excellent-- I can easily envision myself leading this workshop and I'm confident people will be very receptive to it and they will find it very enjoyable. I was concerned with the mechanics of getting multiple people through the cold plunge (I have three) with a group of 10 or more. But Sunday's practical exercise gave me a very good idea of how to do this. I'm really excited about holding my first workshop in the near future.
The protocol is extremely practical. Its clear structure and scientific foundation make it an excellent framework for guiding participants through a safe, focused, and effective workshop experience.
The whole online training and the way you have put together this method and program is understated on your website. So much value! I LOVED the meditation it was such a beautiful and you really made me cry!
Perfect mix. Breathing to regulate and shift into or maintain PNS mode. Clearly meditation is also powerful in conjunction with the heat.
The Thermalist Method - Just perfectly put together - it flows so well!
I think all four pillars work very well together. Creating these four pillars as a framework for the Thermalist Method helps me understand it, internalize it, and able to articulate it in simple but meaningful terms.
Cold awakens, heat relaxes, breath regulates, and meditation integrates. Together, they create a balanced arc that supports both physiological resilience and mental clarity. This program is well put together!
The meditation in the sauna felt like the missing link. And then it came in the protocol - wauw! As a long-time daily meditator, combining presence and stillness with heat made the method feel more grounded, complete, and transformative.
What can I say after being certified and performed a few of these workshops? Well, it has added a great product to my business - I think the protocol is perfect.
Amazing program all together - it's a learning journey I did not imagine. The meditation added another level to the experience. The mindfulness achieved was so great!
Provides clarity consistency - really appreciate the "new" component of the Guided Meditation
I have meditated many times but this was very different in a good way. I think the heat adds an element that helped me connect to my body and truly elevated the experience. I like adding this as a pillar to the protocol.
The protocol is so valuable, I feel very excited and confident to take this home and start practicing. Having this guide to keep referring to will be my go to. I LOVED the meditation it was such a beautiful way to wrap up the workshop, you made me cry!
The program - cold, heat, breathwork and then the meditation blew me away! THE BEST. This was really transformational for me. I’ve never dug deep state not breath work or meditation so I am so thankful this was such a large part of this experience. Thank you for sharing it with us!
