Frequently asked questions
Infrared sauna cabins emit infrared heat, which is unlike traditional saunas or steam rooms. Infrared is an electromagnetic light wave that penetrates 4-6 inches into your skin for the ultimate cellular level detox, from the inside out! The infrared wavelength is part of the sun's invisible spectrum of light, located next the the colour red and felt as warmth. Infrared heat is safe and healing - so safe that it is used in hospitals to keep newborns warm in humidicribs.
These penetrating rays of light help to boost your metabolism and allow your body to sweat away harmful toxins. Infrared rays are easily absorbed and penetrate the body deeply, stimulating lymphatic, immune and cardiovascular sysytems.

Children age 6-15 can use the sauna only with a parent or guardian in the wellness studio.
We do ask for a doctor’s note stating they do not have heart issues, respiratory issues, or blood pressure issues. If your child is unwell or has a fever - they can not use the sauna.
We advise children to use the sauna for no longer than 20 minutes at a time.
The parent must also agree to keep the child on the bench in the sauna and avoid getting close the the heaters that are HOT to touch.
Parents or guardians must read and sign the and waiver for both themselves and their child, and acknowledge the child section of the waiver.
If you have been intoxicated within 24 hours of your scheduled sauna session we will have to reschedule your appointment. It can be dangerous to your health to be in an infrared sauna if you have been drinking heavily so close to your session. The body goes through an intense detoxification process during our sauna treatments and will do whatever it can to rebalance itself and return to a place of homeostasis. Alcohol in excess is a toxin in the body and when combined with dehydration, can be very unpleasant. Please refrain from alcohol use before your appointment.
