Sauna Whisking

Rooted in Nordic tradition for centuries, the sauna is more than a place to be warm. It is a place of healing, relaxation, cleansing and community — a place to gather.

£30 per personSat 26 Sept · 5:50pmSun 27 Sept · 10:30am

As a qualified Sauna Master, I will guide you through all of these: heat meeting the cool body; water merging with hot stones to create löyly, helping you relax and purify; and natural scents and tannins from birch and oak whisks reconnecting us to nature.

Gentle tapping — whisking — on the body gives a massage effect and releases the scents and oils from the leaves. It is a sauna experience like never before, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Reset Ritual

A calming 70-minute sensory experience combining mindful movement, breathwork, mindfulness, self-massage, sauna and cold plunge therapy.

70 minutesPrivate hire

We begin with a short grounding practice to arrive in your body and settle into the space, followed by a sensory journey through scent, touch and guided breathwork. Simple self-massage techniques support relaxation and deepen presence and awareness.

Guests move freely between the sauna and cold plunge, creating a personal rhythm of heat, cold and stillness. Designed to be restorative and revitalising, it is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect and leave with a deep sense of calm.
