Yes, we recommend booking appointments in advance to ensure you get your preferred date and service time. Certain high-demand services do fill up quickly. Walk-in appointments may be accommodated if availability allows. Conveniently book online 24/7.

Undergarments or swimsuits are typically worn. We provides towels and plastic bags for wet swim suites (as needed). Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

You will have the private Recovery Suite booked to yourself to freely walk around and use it how you prefer. A single booking includes the optional use of the sauna, cold plunge, or both.

Contrast therapy involves alternating between hot and cold temperatures, typically using a sauna and cold plunge. This process helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote muscle recovery. The hot and cold cycles in contrast therapy stimulate the release of endorphins and improve blood flow to the brain, helping to reduce stress, boost mood, and enhance mental clarity.

1. Reduced Risk of Cardiovascular Mortality:

   People who used a sauna 2-3 times per week had a 24% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to those who used a sauna only once a week.Those who used a sauna 4-7 times per week had an even more significant reduction, with a 50% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality.

2. Reduced Risk of Fatal Coronary Heart Disease and Heart Attack:Frequent sauna users had a reduced risk of fatal coronary heart disease and heart attack.The study found a 20-63% decrease in the risk of sudden cardiac death among frequent sauna users.

3. Stroke Risk:A later study by the same research team, published in Neurology in 2018, found that regular sauna use also reduced the risk of stroke.Using a sauna 4-7 times per week was associated with a 61% lower risk of stroke compared to those who used it once a week.

1. Reduced Inflammation and Muscle Recovery: Cold-water immersion is widely studied for its benefits in reducing inflammation and muscle soreness. A meta-analysis in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports found that cold-water immersion reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and inflammation after exercise. The cold exposure causes vasoconstriction, which helps remove metabolic waste from tissues and promotes faster recovery.

2. Improved Immune Function: A 2016 study published in PLOS ONE found that people who practiced cold showers reported 29% fewer sick days compared to a control group, indicating that cold exposure may have immune-boosting effects. Cold immersion stimulates the immune system by increasing white blood cell count and norepinephrine release, potentially supporting immunity over time.

2. Enhanced Mental Resilience and Mood:Cold exposure has been shown to release endorphins and increase norepinephrine, which helps reduce stress and improve mood. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with anxiety or depression. A study published in Medical Hypotheses suggested that cold water exposure can serve as an "antidepressant" by impacting brain chemistry and stress response pathways.

Saunas are generally safe, but those with heart conditions, respiratory issues, or pregnancy should consult with a healthcare provider before using one.
