LIV Wellness Rituals
Movement. Recovery. Renewal.
Your ritual begins here — a space to reset your nervous system, recover deeply, and return to yourself. Slow down. Breathe. Let your body lead.
COLD PLUNGE RITUAL
COLD PLUNGE RITUAL
The Cold Plunge Ritual is a deliberate cold immersion designed to strengthen the body and sharpen the mind. This is where resilience is built — one breath at a time. Bring a towel, a book/music/headphones, water bottle and your swimsuit.
Benefits:
- Reduces inflammation + muscle soreness
- Boosts circulation and vascular tone
- Accelerates recovery + lymphatic drainage
- Strengthens immune function
- Elevates mood through dopamine and endorphin release
- Builds stress tolerance and emotional resilience
- Increases energy and supports deeper sleep
Complete the Ritual:
Follow your plunge with the Infrared Sauna Ritual or Steam Ritual for a full contrast therapy cycle.
INFARED SAUNA RITUAL
INFARED SAUNA RITUAL
Detox. Decompress. Restore.
The Infrared Ritual uses radiant heat to warm the body from the inside out — creating a deep, therapeutic sweat at a lower and more comfortable temperature than traditional saunas. It’s recovery that feels grounding, calm, and deeply restorative.
Benefits:
- Relieves muscle tension and joint pain
- Boosts circulation + oxygen delivery to tissues
- Supports detoxification through sustained sweating
- Enhances skin clarity and collagen renewal
- Reduces stress and promotes restorative sleep
- Strengthens immunity through repeated heat exposure
- Pairs seamlessly with Cold Plunge for powerful contrast therapy
Private. Controlled. Intentional.
STEAM ROOM RITUAL
STEAM ROOM RITUAL
Cleanse. Calm. Rebalance.
The Steam Ritual combines heat and humidity to relax the body and clear the mind. Infused with essential oils, this warm environment encourages physical release and emotional softening. Towel and swimsuit required.
Benefits:
- Promotes natural detoxification
- Relieves muscle tension + joint stiffness
- Improves circulation and cardiovascular function
- Supports respiratory health + breathing ease
- Deeply hydrates + rejuvenates skin
- Encourages parasympathetic (rest + restore) state
- Completes the recovery loop when paired with Cold or Infrared Rituals
Quiet. Hydrating. Restorative. A soft landing for the nervous system.
LIGHT THERAPY RITUAL
LIGHT THERAPY RITUAL
Rejuvenate. Recover. Reawaken.
The Red Light Ritual uses low-level red and near-infrared light to support cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and boost natural energy production within the body. It’s quiet, gentle, and deeply restorative on a biological level. Please bring protective eyewear.
This is recovery that works from the inside out.
Benefits:
- Reduces inflammation and supports joint + muscle healing
- Stimulates cellular repair and tissue regeneration
- Enhances collagen production for healthier, clearer, more radiant skin
- Improves scar and wound healing over time
- Supports hormonal balance and deeper sleep regulation
- Boosts energy by increasing mitochondrial function
- Helps calm the nervous system and reduce stress load
Best Paired With:
Infrared or Steam Ritual to warm and soften the tissues before light exposure — or Cold Plunge Ritual after to lock in circulation benefits.
Quiet. Restorative. Science-backed.
A reset your body actually feels.

Kaitlyn Kozniuk
I love LIV because I’ve always wanted to be part of a community where people feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. As a psychology student, one of my biggest goals in life is to help others feel seen, loved, and supported, and I feel like LIV reflects so many of those same values. I love being part of a space where people can come as they are, feel welcomed, and leave feeling a little better than when they walked in. My favourite class to take is Signature Sculpt! I love how it combines Pilates with strength and gives me the perfect balance of feeling challenged while still having fun. I also love that it’s heated because it adds an extra challenge and always leaves me feeling strong, energized, and accomplished! My favourite quote: You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” -Winnie the Pooh. A fun fact about me is that I’m currently finishing my degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology! I hope to continue my education by pursuing a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and eventually build a career where I can help and support others.
