Kay Lou Haskins

I’m Kay Lou Haskins, a breathwork coach, cold water facilitator, educator, and the founder of Kay Lou Klub and Kay Lou Academy. My work is all about helping real people navigate real life with more resilience, clarity, and confidence through the power of breath and cold water.

I came to this work after struggling with anxiety and panic attacks. Breathwork became the tool that helped me take my life back. I trained as a respiratory coach at the start of the pandemic, qualified as a cold water facilitator in 2021, and in 2025 I launched Kay Lou Academy, a training platform designed to raise the standards of cold water education and support others who want to guide people safely into the cold.

My approach is simple, grounded, and direct. No fluff. No nonsense. Just science-backed tools, lived experience, and a genuine passion for helping people feel strong in their minds and bodies. Whether I’m leading breathwork and ice bath sessions, hosting events, delivering corporate workshops, or supporting new facilitators through training, my focus is always the same: helping people regulate stress, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting thousands of people and working with organisations such as The BFA, Aldi, Amplified Hearing, as well as outdoor events like Trail Pursuit. From business owners to teachers, parents to young people, and complete beginners to seasoned adventurers — I love bringing people together through breathwork, cold water, and community.

My mission is big and unapologetic: to support 1 billion people through breathwork and cold water.

To change the game so that everyone can play. Because everyone is entitled to the best possible mental health.
