About us
Fire & Ice Wellness is an outdoor sauna and cold water experience based in Bristol, UK.
Founded by Bristol locals Jamie and Neema, Fire & Ice was created from a genuine interest in wellness, nature and the simple idea that people feel better when they spend time outdoors.
Our sessions combine wood-fired saunas, cold water immersion and fresh air in some of the South West's most unique locations. Whether you're looking to unwind after a busy week, support your physical recovery, spend time with friends or simply try something new, Fire & Ice offers a welcoming introduction to the benefits of heat and cold exposure.
Our flagship Bristol location sits within the grounds of Westbury Wildlife Park, home to one of the city's most unusual cold water experiences. Our natural cold pool was once the seal pond. Today, it offers a unique setting for wild swimming in Bristol, surrounded by trees, wildlife and the rich history of one of Bristol's most loved green spaces.
One of our favourite parts of running Fire & Ice is introducing people to Westbury Wildlife Park. Many visitors have never explored the site before and leave with a new appreciation for its history, wildlife and peaceful surroundings. We love hearing people's memories of the park, sharing stories about the site and helping others discover this hidden corner of Bristol.
Fire & Ice was built by two people with very different professional backgrounds but a shared passion for wellbeing and community. Neema works as a lawyer and Jamie spent his former career in sales. Together, they wanted to create a space that felt welcoming, down-to-earth and accessible to everyone.
You won't find intimidating wellness culture here.
You won't find extreme challenges or pressure to perform.
What you will find is a warm sauna, cold water, fresh air and good conversation.
We believe wellbeing should fit into real life. That's why Fire & Ice is designed for everyone - from first-time cold plungers and curious newcomers to experienced sauna-goers and outdoor swimmers.
Whether you're visiting our woodland sauna and natural cold pool at Westbury Wildlife Park or joining us at Old Down Country Park, you'll always find the same thing at the heart of Fire & Ice:
A place to slow down, reconnect and leave feeling better than when you arrived.
We look forward to welcoming you.
