Infrared Sauna Therapy

You don’t need to bring anything with you to the sauna, we’ll provide everything you need. But if there’s anything you’d like to bring along for your comfort, please feel free to do so.

We’ll provide a towel for you to use during your sauna session. While many people choose to wear a towel or a bathing suit inside the sauna, you are welcome to wear whatever makes you feel at ease.

It’s important to note that due to the heat, most people choose not to wear regular clothing or undergarments during the session as you’ll likely work up a good sweat.

We recommend avoiding the use of any jewelry, including earrings, piercings, rings, watches/smartwatches, etc… in the sauna. Please note that we are not responsible for any damages incurred.

After your sauna session, we’ll provide a second towel for freshening up.

Staying hydrated is essential, but please remember that plastic water bottles cannot be used inside the sauna.

If any of the below apply to you, please consult with your physician prior to sauna use. And ask our front desk team about a shorter 10-25 minute session as a gentle starting point.

The sauna can be helpful for alleviating minor cold or sinus symptoms. However, if you are dealing with a severe illness or have had a persistent fever, we recommend consulting a medical professional before using the sauna. Please refrain from visiting if you are currently in the acute or infectious stage of a cold, flue, COVID, or any other illness.

Individuals aged 16-17 are welcome to enjoy the Sauna under the supervision of an accompanying adult. Our sauna is designed for a maximum capacity of 2 people at a time. We want to ensure a comfortable experience for everyone, so there is no additional fee for the second person.

In cases where a parent prefers not to use the sauna simultaneously with their child, we’ve provided a chair in the same room as the sauna where the parent can comfortably sit and relax while supervising their child.

Children under 16 years old are not recommended to use the sauna due to their unique physiological factors. The core body temperature of children increases more rapidly than that of adults due to factors like their higher metabolic rate per body mass and limited circulatory adjustment to heightened cardiac demands. Additionally, children may have difficulty regulating body temperature through sweating. If you have a child, under the age of 16, interested in using our infrared sauna, please speak with our front desk team about a shorter 10-15 minute session as a gentle starting point.

Yes! You’re more than welcome to bring a friend. Our sauna is designed for a maximum capacity of 2 people at a time, and there’s no extra fee for the second person. We aim to provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all our guests.

The Sauna Protocol

Before Your Session

• Allow 1-2 hours after eating before your infrared sauna session.
• Drink at least 8 ounces of water to prepare for increased core body temperature.
• When scheduling, choose a health benefit program for your session. Our mPulse Smart Sauna offers six pre-set programs, including cardio, detox, weight loss, relaxation, pain relief, or anti-aging. You can also customize your program with our staff’s assistance.

During Your Session

• Listen to your body and adjust based on what it’s telling you. If you feel flu-like symptoms, discontinue and let our staff know.
• Everyone sweats differently. You may not sweat during the first few sessions. Sweat will increase with regular use.
• Staying hydrated is essential, but please note that plastic water bottles are not allowed in the sauna.

After Your Session

• Rehydrate with 8-24 ounces of water or an electrolyte drink.
• Use your sauna sessions as a warm-up before exercise, massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, rolfing, or simply towel off and cool down naturally. You can also enjoy a sauna session after any of these treatments for an enhanced experience.

While you’re in the sauna, there are many ways to make the most of your session. You can choose to stretch, read, meditate, listen to music, or even catch up on your phone. It’s your time for relaxation and rejuvenation.

We do not recommend you take your phone or other electronic device into the sauna with you. Please be aware that we can’t take responsibility for any damage that may occur as a result if you do.

Our sauna has some built-in entertainment options, including music. Please ask the front desk for more information about the options available.

Staying hydrated is essential, but please note that plastic water bottles are not allowed in the sauna and metal bottles may heat up.

Enjoy!

Deciding to sauna before or after a massage or other bodywork, largely depends on your personal preferences, wellness goals, and the schedule available.

Here’s What You Should Consider

Sauna Before Bodywork

• Benefits: You’ll be more relaxed entering the massage, and your muscles will already be warmed up.
• Easier Deep Tissue Massage: Warm, relaxed muscles make it easier to target areas with tension and stress.

Bodywork Before Sauna

• Benefits: The sauna can help you sweat out toxins released during the massage.
• Ultimate Relaxation: Extend the post-massage bliss with a relaxing sauna session.

The choice is yours, and both combinations offer a wonderfully relaxing experience!

Whether you prefer to workout before or after your session is entirely up to you. Though most clients prefer to workout before their infrared sauna session.

You can enjoy the sauna daily!

If you experience any adverse reactions following your session, please inform us immediately. For your safety and comfort, we recommend waiting 24-48 hours before your next (shortened) session.

While we don’t have a shower facility, we will gladly provide you with an extra towel to freshen up and dry off after your sauna session.

Our mPulse sauna is equipped with chromotherapy lighting. Chromotherapy leverages colors to influence body vibrations and align them with frequencies that promote health and harmony. Every color carries frequencies associated with specific vibrations, which, in turn, relate to various physical symptoms. By working on different energy points, chromotherapy aids your body in restoring its natural balance.

During your sauna session, you can choose your preferred chromotherapy color. Further details will be provided at the time of your session.
