Service Description

WHAT TO EXPECT Please come pre-showered for your sauna experience and you are welcome to wear a bathing suit or a spa wrap will be provided to wear in the sauna. You will be provided with a Turkish towel to sit on, a hair wrap if you have long hair, extra towels, and slippers. Please fill out the new client paperwork to verify that you are heart healthy to engage in the hot/cold therapy. upon arrival, you will sit in the sauna for up to 15 minutes. Here I like to listen to guided meditation and focus on relaxing. Once you have heated up, exit the sauna for your cold plunge experience. The most important part of the cold plunge is to remain calm and not to hyperventilate breath. Try to get up to your neck and splash your face. slow exit and rest or repeat. This is a place for gathering and healing. Your sauna experience can be enhanced with body-sculpting wooden tools. Please don’t wear any synthetic perfume or fragrance products. Please sit on a towel during your sauna experience. Bring your own water and drink plenty of water before and after the sauna. A Solid Basic, Science-Supported Protocol Consider doing deliberate cold exposure for 11 minutes per week TOTAL. NOT per session, but rather, 2-4 sessions lasting 1-5 mins each distributed across the week. Again, the water temperature should be uncomfortably cold yet safe to stay in for a few minutes. You can do more, but this should be the minimum to achieve the benefits of cold exposure. You can do very cold, very brief exposures for adrenaline release too, but the 11 minutes is based on a recent study that explored a range of effects and is a good solid, basic protocol for ongoing use.
