Our Approach

While we are not formally associated with any single authority or method in the sauna or contrast therapy world, our approach has been carefully shaped by extensive research and meaningful connections with experts and practitioners.

By reading, listening, and engaging with a wide range of perspectives, we’ve developed a philosophy of hot and cold exposure designed to maximise both physical and mental benefits.

Our method is grounded in insights from varied scientific studies and promotes health and resilience through the intentional use of sauna and contrast therapy.

Core Principles

Balance, Not Extremes: Heat and cold exposure should always be approachable and sustainable, avoiding unnecessary intensity.

Health Benefits: Regular use of sauna and cold therapy can enhance circulation, improve cardiovascular health, reduce stress, and promote better sleep.

Natural Cooling: After a cold plunge, allowing the body to warm up naturally supports brown fat activation, which plays a key role in regulating metabolism and energy balance.

What Happens During a 50 Minute Session?

Arrival and Preparation (5-10 minutes):

Guests are welcomed and introduced to the process by our Sauna Master.

We’ll explain the session’s structure, covering both sauna use and optional cold exposure.

Ensure you have the essentials so that you can relax and feel comfortable during your session.

With Contrast Therapy
(Cold Exposure Available)

First Sauna Round (10-15 minutes):

Relax and allow your body to warm up. The sauna is maintained at 80-90°C, an optimal range for most guests.

Guided breathwork techniques may be introduced to enhance relaxation if requested

Cooling Down (5-10 minutes):

Step outside into the fresh air or immerse yourself in cold water (if available). Cooling naturally or with a brief plunge helps reset the body’s temperature and boosts circulation.

Deep breathing is encouraged to help your body adapt.

Second Sauna Round (10-15 minutes):

Re-enter the sauna for a deeper heat experience. Your Sauna Master may create steam with essential oils to elevate the experience.

Final Cooling and Reflection (5-10 minutes):

Cool down again, stepping outside or using cold water. Allow your body to naturally warm up, which can stimulate brown fat activation, enhance metabolic regulation, and boost energy levels.

End with hydration and a moment of stillness to reflect on the session.

Without Contrast Therapy
(No Cold Exposure)

First Sauna Round (15-20 minutes):

Relax and enjoy the heat, focusing on gentle breathing. The Sauna Master will enhance the session with aromatic steam.

Cooling Down (5-10 minutes):

Step outside into the fresh air to naturally lower your body temperature. This gentle cooling process is enough to deliver many of the same benefits.

Second Sauna Round (15-20 minutes):

Re-enter the sauna for further relaxation and restoration, deepening the physical and mental benefits.

Final Cool Down and Reflection (5 minutes):

Step outside, rehydrate, and allow your body to return to its baseline naturally.
