Peter Kyriakoulis

Cold Water Therapy, Swinburne University of Technology

When Peter Kriakoulis felt anxious as a younger man, his Grandmother would tell him to splash cold water on his face and it seemed to calm him down. This simple act formed the beginning of Peter’s PhD. Having worked as a clinical psychologist for the past eighteen years, Peter furthered his studies into ‘Cold Water Facial Immersion Therapy’ by then studying the techniques of the ‘free diving’ community. Breathing techniques combined with the feeling of cold water on your face has literally helped hundreds of Peter’s patients deal with the all to often crippling affects of anxiety, panic attacks and depression.
