2026 - The Year of YOU!

Dear Soul Soak Member,

As we step into 2026, I want to offer you a gentle reframe...

What if this is the year you stop pushing, fixing, and overriding yourself…

and start listening, tending, and choosing yourself on purpose?

Not in a dramatic “new year, new you” way, but in a grounded, sustainable, seasonal way.

Like nature does. Like your body has always known how to do...

At Soul Soak, everything we offer is designed around one core truth supported by both ancient wisdom and modern science: when the nervous system feels safe, the body can heal, adapt, and

thrive.

Below is a reminder of why these practices matter, and how they support you beyond the session itself.

Assisted Stretching: Creating Space to Feel Again

Assisted stretching goes beyond flexibility, it’s about restoring communication between your

muscles, fascia, and nervous system. Research shows that prolonged tension and restricted

movement patterns are closely tied to chronic stress, pain, and nervous system dysregulation.

When muscles remain contracted for long periods, the brain begins to perceive tension as

“normal,” reinforcing stress loops.

Through guided, practitioner-assisted stretching, your body is invited into a parasympathetic

(rest-and-repair) state. This helps improve joint mobility, circulation, and proprioception while reducing pain signals. Over time, clients often notice improved posture, deeper breathing, and a renewed sense of embodiment, feeling back inside their body rather than bracing against it.

Infrared Sauna & Cold Plunge: Training Resilience, Not Forcing It

Infrared sauna therapy has been shown to support cardiovascular health, detoxification through

sweat, reduced inflammation, and improved circulation. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat penetrates deeper into tissues, helping muscles relax and encouraging cellular repair while

placing minimal stress on the body.

Cold exposure, when approached intentionally, supports vagus nerve activation, reduces systemic inflammation, and improves stress resilience. Studies suggest that cold immersion can increase dopamine and norepinephrine levels, enhancing mood, focus, and emotional regulation. Together, heat and cold act as a controlled stressor, teaching your nervous system how to respond instead of react, an essential skill for modern life.

Salt Float Therapy: Deep Rest in a World That Rarely Pauses

Float therapy offers one of the most profound opportunities for nervous system down-regulation available today. By removing sensory input (light, sound, gravity), the brain can shift into theta brainwave states associated with creativity, emotional processing, and deep rest. Research

indicates float therapy can reduce anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and cortisol levels while improving sleep quality.

Magnesium-rich Epsom salt further supports muscle relaxation and nervous system balance.

Many people describe floating as a reset, where mental noise quiets, emotional insight emerges,

and the body remembers how to rest without effort. This isn’t escapism, it’s integration.

PEMF Therapy: Supporting the Body at the Cellular Level

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy works by supporting cellular communication and energy production. Healthy cells carry an electrical charge; stress, injury, and inflammation can disrupt this signaling. PEMF has been studied for its ability to improve circulation, reduce pain

and inflammation, support bone density, and enhance recovery.

By gently reintroducing healthy electromagnetic frequencies, PEMF helps cells restore their

natural rhythm, supporting healing from the inside out. Many clients report feeling more

grounded, less inflamed, and more energetically balanced after sessions.

A Closing Invitation

2026 doesn’t need to be about doing more.

It can be about doing what actually works, consistently, intentionally, and with compassion.

Your body is not something to conquer.

It’s something to partner with.

I’m honored to hold space for your rest, resilience, and renewal this year.

Thank you for choosing yourself, and for trusting Soul Soak as part of that journey.

With Presence and Intention,

Dani
