Our Team
I am a cold blooded person. I feel the cold and I don’t like it, so I was very late to the party when it came to trying ice baths. I had no interest in getting even colder! I ended up in one purely by accident. A friend invited me to a spa one weekend (well, the word ‘spa’ was all I heard anyway!) which turned out to be an ice bath and sauna experience. It was January and the ice on the bath had to be broken with a sledge hammer in order for us to get in. I didn’t even want to take my coat off, let alone get down to my swimmers and jump in the ice! However, peer pressure is a wonderful thing. I was the last in the group to give it a go and everyone before me had managed it - I couldn’t not try. From the second I got out of that 2 degree water after 2 minutes, I was hooked. I felt AMAZING. I had found my ‘thing’. I kept returning to the spa, however it was a long way from home meaning I couldn’t go nearly as regularly as I wanted to. I was desperate to find something similar closer to home, but there wasn’t anything. The more I searched the less I could believe that there was nothing in this beautiful part of the Chiltern Hills to cater for a cold water addiction - so, I decided to create it myself, and opened RESET Wild Spa at Peterley Manor Farm in 2024.
RESET moved to P.E. Mead & Sons in Hertfordshire and explanded to a second location at Stonor Park in Oxfordshire in 2025. I’m loving every second of creating and expanding this little business.

After many years working in fashion, I followed a quieter calling towards yoga and retrained as a teacher in 2024. What began as a personal practice has become something much deeper, a way of living with greater awareness, intention and connection.
My connection with Reset Wild Spa began as a guest. From my very first visit, I felt incredibly welcome. Harriet immediately reassured me that there was no pressure to do anything that didn’t feel right, whether that was simply enjoying the sauna or choosing to try the cold water. Very quickly, I felt at ease and in safe hands, supported not only by Harriet but also by the other guests.
What surprised me most was how much I was able to lean into the experience. Having never tried a cold plunge before, I found myself staying in for just under two minutes, eventually building up to five. It felt both energising and deeply rewarding, and I can honestly say it was one of the highlight of my week.
Reset Wild Spa is a truly special place, a warm and welcoming environment that invites you to slow down and reconnect with yourself and nature. I’m so pleased to now be part of the team, and look forward to welcoming you, helping you settle in, and supporting your experience in a calm and relaxed way.
Ana sniders
Spa Host
After spending many years working in the corporate world, I decided to follow my passion for holistic wellbeing, which led me to train in reflexology.
I've always loved being outdoors and believe there's something incredibly powerful about slowing down, reconnecting with nature and taking a little time for yourself. Life can be so busy, and I'm a big believer that looking after our wellbeing shouldn't be a luxury, but something we make time for.
That's what drew me to RESET Wild Spa. I love how it brings together the relaxing heat of the sauna, the invigorating experience of a cold plunge and the calming effects of nature, creating a space where people can step away from everyday life and take some much-needed time for themselves.
I look forward to welcoming you and helping you unwind, reset and leave feeling a little more like yourself.
EMMA KNOPF
Spa Host
I have worked as a fitness instructor/ Personal trainer for the past 30 years, I have experience and understanding of what the body and mind need to have a balanced healthy lifestyle, rest and recovery is a very important part of that.
I discovered my appreciation for cold water, swimming in the North Sea on the beautiful Norfolk coast, what started out as a challenge quickly became enjoyment and a real feeling of mind over matter. As the North Sea isn’t easily excusable or safe all year round I was very grateful to discover RESET Wild Spa, initially it was for the cold plunge but the sauna quickly became just as important for my wellness experience, throw in the beautiful surroundings and RESET became the perfect place.
So to have the opportunity to be part of the RESET team was the perfect next step for me, to be a part of people's journey to discover the feeling of exhilaration, accomplishment and control you have every time you step in the cold plunge, be it your 1st or 20th time. And the relaxation and cleansing you get from the sauna will give me great joy.
