- Listen to your body: step out or cool down if you feel light‑headed.
- Post‑session, replenish with water or electrolytes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I am running late?
It is important to arrive early and be ready to go when your time starts. Each sauna session is 45 minutes long and begins at the scheduled time. If you are running late your session will still end on time. We need 15 minutes to clean and sanitize the units between clients so we cannot extend sessions.
How long should I stay inside the sauna?
The saunas are set to their maximum temperature for the day so start your practice slow, around 15-20 minutes and build from there. Typical therapeutic sessions last 25-40 minutes. Listen to your body, get out of the sauna to cool down as needed, don’t get light headed, and drink plenty of water.
What should I wear in the sauna?
Whatever you’re comfortable sweating in: a swimsuit, sports bra/shorts, or a towel. We provide fresh towels and a private suite. Infrared works best on exposed skin so you will at least want your core exposed and of course as they say ‘birthday suit is best’.
Is it sanitary?
Yes. We line benches with fresh towels and thoroughly clean and ventilate suites between sessions.
Can I bring my phone into the sauna?
Phones and other metal objects should be left outside the sauna unit, including metal water bottles. We recommend unplugging, but you’re welcome to have it in the suite to set up your playlist, favorite meditation, or audiobook.
How often should I sauna?
2–4 times per week is common for stress relief and muscle recovery, and 4-6 times a week for managing chronic pain or skin conditions. Even one weekly session can make a difference but the effects are cumulative and more consistency is the key to long term results.
When will I feel the benefits?
Most people feel relaxed and at ease after the very first visit, with compounding benefits over time. In 6-8 weeks with regular session you will achieve noticeable and lasting mental and physical benefits outlined below.
