We love sharing sauna experiences with Children over 6 years old. Children between the ages of 7 and 13 must be closely supervised by a legal guardian or parent and should limit their time in sauna to 5-10 minutes per session. Please remember this is a space of relaxation. Private or family affinity groups are always a fun option as well.

Rule # 1 → LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! Beyond that, most of the research around Contrast Therapy suggests 5-20 min in the sauna followed by cold plunge / cool down. Best results are found doing three rounds and ending on cold.

Bookings can be made online up until a session starts, as long as it is still open (empty sessions close 12 hours in advance). Changes and cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before your session, and you will be credited a gift card for your next booking.

We will hold lost and found items in our lost and found bin. If an item has been here for a week unclaimed, it will be donated to the Hospital Auxiliary.
