The Experience

Sauna & Cold Plunge

Nordic contrast therapy is a single, unbroken ritual: moving between deep, dry heat and ice-cold water, over and over, across one unhurried hour. Heat opens the body; cold resets it. Between them, you arrive.

Two temperatures, one ritual

Heat, then cold

Heat

Nordic Dry Sauna

A hand-built cedar sauna held around 198°F. This is dry Finnish heat: clean, enveloping, and deeply loosening. The room holds up to twelve, but we cap each session at six so there is always space to breathe. Stay as long as you like, and return between every plunge.

What the heat does

  • Deep relaxation & tension relief
  • Detoxification through sweat
  • Improved circulation & cardiovascular health
  • Muscle recovery & soreness relief
  • Stress reduction & mental clarity

Cold

Cold Plunge Pools

Cold plunge pools set to 50°F and 40°F. One to ease into, one to sharpen you. Two or three minutes is plenty; the shock passes and the clarity stays.

What the cold does

  • Muscle-recovery acceleration & inflammation reduction
  • Enhanced circulation & faster healing
  • Mental resilience & focus
  • Stress reduction & improved sleep

How it flows

How a session flows

Your session runs about one hour with unlimited rotations between heat and cold. There is no set number of rounds. Most guests move through the cycle two or three times. Every session is capped at six people.

  1. 01

    Arrive early

    Come 5 minutes before your start time so you can change and settle in with the full hour ahead of you.

  2. 02

    Warm in the sauna

    Ten to twenty minutes in the 198°F cedar sauna. Let the dry heat reach your shoulders and slow your breath.

  3. 03

    Rinse

    A quick stop at the rinse station between heat and cold. It keeps the plunge clean and clear for everyone.

  4. 04

    Cold plunge

    Into the plunge for three to five minutes, or to your comfort. The 50°F pool eases you in; the 40°F pool wakes you fully.

  5. 05

    Rest, then repeat

    Sit with warm tea and stillness, then begin the cycle again. Rotate between hot and cold as many times as the hour allows.
