Our Services

The most significant physical and mental benefits of sauna and cold exposure come from making it a regular practice. We’ve developed various offerings to support your health and wellness goals.

Pricing

Single Session

Shared wood-fired sauna sessions designed for rest, recovery, and connection. Guests move freely between sauna, cold showers, and open-air relaxation spaces beneath the trees. A slower, self-guided approach to wellness rooted in heat, cold water, and nature. You can book one or multiple seats in our Social Session. While these sessions are social in nature and encourage connection, please be mindful and respectful of everyone’s privacy. This is an outdoor experience and will be held rain or shine.


$37 / 75 minute session

Private Session

A private session for up to 16 people where you and your guests will be able to experience wood fired sauna, cold showers, and lounge areas.

Private sessions offer dedicated access to the experience and surrounding relaxation areas for groups looking to gather, unwind, and reconnect in a quieter setting.
