Why SHERPA?
Most breathwork and cold exposure trainings are either:
❌ Rigid, protocol-driven systems that ignore individual nervous system differences
❌ Or extreme, hype-driven experiences disconnected from science
SHERPA is different.
It’s a science-based, adaptive framework designed for real nervous systems. You’ll learn to:
âś… Run 1:1 breathwork and contrast sessions that build real nervous system flexibility.
âś… Lead group breathwork and hot and cold exposure with safety and precision.

We’re not the cool kids. We don’t jump like screaming lunatics into $20K ice baths. And we don’t reduce people to rigid, intuition-denying protocols.
Our 350+ SHERPA instructors facilitate real change through breathwork and deliberate hot and cold stress exposure.
Our mission is simple: to help you be, and consistently become, resilient as F**K.

Hear From Our Community
Hannah B.
"I appreciate and admire how you turned it into a deep shared learning opportunity. With so much information provided, it felt magical to have space held for each of us the way you did, with safety, a focus on our individual practices and businesses, connection to the others, as well as learning how to really bring this healing to so many of our communities."
James K.
"As a former track and field athlete and a new long-distance runner in my 40s I needed a new framework and understanding of my central nervous system, mindset and ability to use my breath. Cold plunging, deep meditation, challenging breathing and the care that Kristin gives is truly world class. The morning of my race day I thought of her and her spirit carried me 13.1 miles, as I broke my previous PR by a full 22 minutes"
Jamie K.
"Kristin, I just had the honor and privilege of guiding two of the most honest souls through their first journey in the ice. I’m really just without words. To connect with people in this capacity is raw and intimate and beyond humbling. Seeing people clinging to you as their life line, their raft of survival and then to see them reclaim their power via the breath and shear guts is…amazing."
