INFRARED SAUNA

WHAT IS AN INFRARED SAUNA? 

Infrared saunas use infrared wavelengths to penetrate deep within the tissue, muscle and bones. Unlike traditional saunas that use heated rocks to increase the temperature of the air around you making it difficult to breathe, an infrared sauna uses invisible infrared wavelengths that mimic the way the sun produces heat to heat your core - making it a much more comfortable sauna experience. By penetrating deep into your body, these wavelengths encourage your core temperature to slowly rise allowing your body to gently remove the build up of unwanted toxins in your system. 

WHY SHOULD I USE AN INFRARED SAUNA? 

Scientists have established that infrared waves are beneficial to the human body because they are easily absorbed, stimulating the lymphatic, immune and cardiovascular systems. Infrared saunas may be beneficial for a range of health conditions including:

  • Detoxification;

  • Improve skin tone;

  • Support with skin conditions such as acne, eczema and dermatitis;

  • Muscle fatigue and recovery;

  • Water retention;

  • Energy production;

  • Weight loss;

  • Immune boosting; and,

  • Stress relief and mental health (including seasonal depression).

CAN I BRING A FRIEND?

You can definitely bring a friend, it’s a great way to catch up! The saunas are built to fit up to three people, however a two-person session is the most comfortable and recommended. We charge an extra $18 per session per person, if you bring a friend. 

DO YOU HAVE A CANCELLATION POLICY?

Yes. We have a strict 9 hour cancelation policy. If you do miss an appointment, cancel or reschedule an appointment within 9 hours, you will lose the session.

ARE THE SAUNA ROOMS PRIVATE? 

Yes, our sauna rooms are 100% private. The room will be allocated to you for the entire time of your booking. 

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR DURING MY SESSION? 

All rooms are private so we welcome you to wear whatever you feel most comfortable in - which can be nothing at all. Please remember to sit on a towel at all times during your session. 

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY SESSION?

Bring 3 towels, a change of clothing, and a water bottle. We have towels for hire for $5 so if you forget, don't stress! We supply body wash and shampoo to use if you are showering and we also offer complimentary water for guests. We have plenty of magazines and books to borrow - or bring your own.  

WHO SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHEN USING AN INFRARED SAUNA? 

  • Children under the age of 18

  • People above the age of 55

  • Anyone with cardiovascular conditions

  • Individuals prone to bleeding;

  • Pregnant women should avoid using the infrared sauna

  • Individuals suffering from chronic health conditions should always consult with their physician prior to use

If you are unsure about using an infrared sauna, always consult with your doctor or physician first. 

HOW ARE THE SAUNAS CLEANED?

We clean the saunas after each use with organic and natural based products. The saunas are made with Canadian cedar wood, which is naturally antibacterial. Infrared lighting and the sauna temperature are also natural disinfectants. 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE THE INFRARED SAUNA? 

It can depend on your goal or condition and you can use it daily if you wish. You can build it into your routine like you would exercise. If you are using the infrared sauna for different health protocols (e.g. a cleanse or detoxification program), it may help to sauna more frequently.  If you have any questions at all about our saunas, don't hesitate to contact us or just ask our friendly staff.

DO YOU HAVE SHOWER FACILITIES? 

Yes we showers in our retreat room. Your body does continue to sweat and detoxify 30 minutes after an infrared sauna session, so if you are happy to wait until you get home.
