About Larissa

Founder, Arctic Healing Cryo

Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.

Arctic Healing Cryo is a place for real healing — natural, non-invasive, and focused on getting to the root of pain. Everything we do supports the body’s innate ability to recover, reduce stress, prevent disease, and build long-term vitality — without drugs or temporary fixes. If you’re looking for an alternative to conventional medicine and want results that last, you’re in the right place.

I launched Arctic in 2017 after healing my own back injury through cryotherapy. At the time, I was a fitness trainer and nutritionist preparing for a bikini competition when I injured my back. The pain lingered, and doctors prescribed muscle relaxers and painkillers. But I didn’t want to numb the pain — I wanted to heal.

I committed to cryotherapy every day for a month. By the end, the pain was gone. That experience changed everything. It made me a firm believer in the body’s natural ability to heal when given the right tools and environment. I felt called to help others discover a different path — one that doesn’t rely on medication to mask symptoms, but instead supports the body in doing what it’s designed to do.

When Arctic first opened, cryotherapy was still unfamiliar to many people. The biggest challenge was simply getting someone to try it. But once they did, the results spoke for themselves.

Nearly nine years later, Arctic has grown into a trusted recovery and wellness center in Houston. In 2024, we were honored to be voted Best Cryotherapy by Memorial Readers Magazine. Over time we have expanded to offer a full range of regenerative and anti-aging therapies — always staying true to our mission of helping the body heal from the inside out.

This work reflects how I live. Wellness isn’t something I preach — it’s something I practice every day through yoga, meditation, mindfulness, fitness, and gratitude. I’m deeply inspired by the work of Tony Robbins and Dr. Joe Dispenza, and I believe true healing happens when the body, mind, and spirit are aligned.

After nearly 20 years working with clients, I’ve seen how deeply connected physical health is to stress, mindset, and emotional wellbeing. The body carries everything we experience. When we reduce stress, support recovery, and strengthen the nervous system, the body has an incredible capacity to repair itself.

That is the philosophy behind Arctic Healing Cryo.

My mission is to help people heal naturally — without medication — by addressing the root cause through the full integration of body, mind, and spirit. Because when all three are aligned, the body can do what it was always designed to do: heal.
