In 2019, at the age of 20, I completed my interior design diploma and embarked on my dreams of becoming a business owner and globetrotter. However, my life took a drastic turn while volunteering as a chaperone when I experienced a violent assault, leaving me with lifelong mental and physical scars. This event forced me to make difficult choices, including pivoting my career, giving up on cheerleading, and relinquishing my active lifestyle. Financially, the burden was immense as I lacked extended medical insurance, making me solely responsible for the costs of treatment.

Managing day by day became increasingly challenging due to the exorbitant expenses of necessary therapies, creating a vicious cycle of working to afford treatment but being unable to work enough due to debilitating pain. Exploring alternative solutions like personal training and yoga proved futile due to their high costs. It was during this period that the idea of "Plunge" started forming in my mind—a sanctuary that would welcome everyone, irrespective of their injuries or financial constraints. Plunge would offer affordable cold plunge sessions, saunas, relaxation, and therapeutic stretching, with a commitment to accommodating diverse physical needs and budgets.

To turn this vision into reality, I'm turning to my community for support. Minimizing initial costs is crucial, and maintaining affordable session prices while breaking even in the initial months is vital for Plunge's success. This new chapter in my life fills me with enthusiasm and purpose. Plunge represents resilience, hope, and the belief that extraordinary things can emerge from adversity. My mission is to empower others to reclaim their well-being, building a supportive community that thrives together. Through Plunge, I aim to demonstrate that even in the face of life's unexpected challenges, we possess the strength to create something extraordinary and meaningful.
