About Us
Our Story
There is a resilient warrior in everyone.
But, it isn’t born out of comfort and convenience.
Seeking discomfort and challenge is a cornerstone of adapting physically, mentally and spiritually.
It’s better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war.
Ritual Recovery is built on an ethos of the idea that nature has a built-in self correcting and re-balancing mechanism that is always there, waiting to be remembered and unlocked - known as homeostasis.
We are an Australian Veteran run company, born out of an affinity with the water and a deep connection with finding optimal human health potential, performance, balance and wellbeing.
The realisation that cold water could be a source of growth, healing, focus and a way to simply feel more alive daily was just the beginning.
How it started
It started in the early days, up at the crack of dawn training in the elements for competitive Surf Live Saving. Training, discipline, active and interested in performance.
Drawn to the water, our founder Jayce, took the path of a Navy Clearance Diver and served for almost a decade. Cold exposure became a staple in the regime for bouncing back effectively from the stress of intense work and life. Nothing seemed to help to soothe aching muscles, injuries and mental load like a daily ice bath did. Ritual Recovery grew from the desire to share the transformative power of ice baths with the world. Now, we are proud to offer a range of ice baths for all needs, whether for the garage home gym or wellness area, helping thousands of others commit to healthy rituals that improve physical and mental wellbeing and performance.

Hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete with the power of the cold – creating clarity and space. We harness cold therapy to be able to show up strong and resilient, like our ice baths.
Adapt
Your true potential is not made in comfort and convenience. We believe in daily rituals that provide a healthy dose of challenge and ‘good stress’ - the kind that makes you grow.
Discipline
Consistency and discipline are the cornerstones of a healthy mind and a strong body. We developed quality, durable ice baths to drive personal discipline - showing up and putting in the work - because you reap what you sow.
The best ice bath tub in Australia
Behind Ritual Recovery is a small team of people who are connected to themselves and the Rituals it takes to live well. We are people who practice what we preach - a diverse team from military, fire, healthcare, professional athletes and design, all with a common goal of sharing the things that make you feel your best, like a daily cold plunge!
We are ordinary people who want to encourage other ordinary people to recognise the innate ability influence their physical, mental and emotional health, through daily rituals like cold water exposure in an ice bath, journalling, meditation, physical movement, sauna therapy and getting outdoors.
We offer the best ice bath in Australia, capable of both hot and cold plunge temperatures, as a tool and remedy for the daily barrage of stress, anxiety and expectation of life. We honestly believe that submerging yourself in cold water, causes shifts that allow you to both recover faster and shock you into a state that makes you re-emerge calmer, more resilient and happier.
By offering a tool for contrast therapy, we want a daily plunge to be accessible to all levels of plunge practice, allowing you to be in control of your ritual. At the end of the day, we want people to thrive!
