This place is amazing! They do a terrific job making the customers feel at ease, welcomed and taken care of. The infrared sauna is a must. I love the intimate quiet space that allows you to sink into the detox and just melt away your worries.Disclaimer: Experience may vary.

How It Works
Infrared waves are absorbed by the body easily, stimulating to immune and cardiovascular systems, and help remove toxins without any of the sunlight’s harmful rays. The infrared spectrum can be categorized into three main settings: near-infrared, mid-infrared, and far-infrared.
Near-Infrared (NIR)
Near-infrared is the shortest wavelength (no intense heat or light) that helps improve skin and promotes cell and tissue health.
Mid-Infrared (MID)
Mid-infrared is a long wavelength that targets the body’s tissue, improves circulation, and promotes anti-inflammatory relief.
Far-Infrared (FIR)
Far-infrared is the longest wavelength that helps detoxify the body and helps burn calories.

What Can I Expect During My Sauna Session?
Prior to Session
- Before we begin, we’ll provide you with a form to fill out any medical history that may be relevant to your session. Please arrive properly hydrated to ensure you’re not at risk for severe dehydration.
Prep & Cleanliness
- Your session will take place in a private and relaxing sauna area, where you can prep and disrobe without interruption. We provide clean, soft towels for use during all sauna sessions. For both, the infrared sauna and Solo Pad® sessions, the room and all equipment are sanitized before and after each session for a safe and clean environment.

We would be happy to answer any questions you may have about your sauna session. Additionally, our therapists will periodically check on you to ensure you are comfortable throughout your experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Can I Use the Infrared Sauna?
This will depend on your overall wellness and what you intend to accomplish. While having a sauna session once a week may work well for you, using the sauna two to three times a week may be more appropriate to accomplish your wellness goal.
How Safe is the Infrared Sauna?
Because infrared light does not contain harmful UV rays, you can enjoy your session for hours without worrying about the risk of skin damage. Thanks to infrared sauna technology, you can enjoy this therapeutic experience as often as once a day!
What's the Difference Between a Traditional Sauna and an Infrared Sauna?
Traditional saunas use a single heater to indirectly stimulate sweating and target the outer layers of the body. This keeps them from addressing muscle tension and detoxification as effectively as an infrared sauna. Infrared saunas are dry saunas that heat the body directly with gentle and therapeutic technology. These saunas also have customizable wavelengths that can help target your specific wellness goals including weight loss, detoxification, pain relief, and more.
How Does the Infrared Sauna Help My Skin?
With far infrared sauna technology, your body sweats from infrared heat to clean out toxins and clogged pores to help reduce acne and detoxify your skin. Consistent infrared therapy can help improve the texture of your skin, reduce roughness, and accelerate wound healing.
Are the sauna and Solo Pad® sanitized regularly?
The Massage Studio uses non-toxic, organic disinfectant products for sauna maintenance. Our sauna’s floor is cleaned on a daily basis, especially on the feet area and the benches are thoroughly wiped down. Our Solo Pad® is made from non-toxic waterproof material that makes it totally easy to clean before and after each session.
