Sauna Therapy

Our heated, natural wood infrared sauna will immediately begin to reduce stress, relax your muscles, and melt away tension as it envelops you with penetrating warmth.

We offer 3-wave infrared saunas, which use near, mid and far wavelengths to offer numerous benefits to your overall health as a therapeutic tool. Traditional saunas provide you with a surface sweat by heating the air, while Infrared saunas heat the body from within, offering more healing and wellness benefits.

You will leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and relaxed!

FAQs

What do I wear in the sauna?

Alive and Well is happy to provide you with a sauna wrap and spa slippers to wear in the sauna. If you would prefer to bring your own wrap, towel or wear a swimsuit you are more than welcome.

Are the saunas co-ed?

Our saunas are not co-ed. We have separate saunas for men and women.

How often is it safe to use the sauna?

There is no one answer for the amount of sessions per week, but infrared saunas are safe to use every day. In fact, you will see wellness improvements sooner if you use it daily. On average, most people partake in 30-45 minute sessions, 3-4 times a week. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids before and after your sauna sessions.

What is the difference between a traditional steam sauna and infrared sauna?

A traditional sauna relies on indirect means of heat. The air is heated and then the hot air makes contact with your skin. In an infrared sauna, the radiant infrared energy heats the air only slightly, heating your body directly. Conventional hot rock/steam heat saunas heat the air with steam, which can often be unbearably hot and will cause you to only sweat at the surface of the tissue. Steam also makes the air difficult to breathe. An infrared sauna uses soothing dry infrared heat that is well ventilated and extremely comfortable and relaxing.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that’s been around for about 2,500 years. It’s used to support wellness and improve overall mental and physical well-being. The acupuncturist places needles into specific points on the skin to help activate an energy in the body, called qi. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the lifeforce energy in the body — it helps regulate and move things in the body to keep us well. Stress, environmental factors, lifestyle behaviors, and genetics are some of the things that can block qi in the body. The needles help to unblock or move qi to other areas in the body to help support wellness.

What kind of needles are used for acupuncture?

Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel needles that are usually not much larger than a strand of hair. Acupuncture needles are placed at a very shallow depth and go between tissues, making them less painful than a typical injection.

Is acupuncture painful?

You might be more sensitive in certain areas, but acupuncture shouldn’t hurt. If you feel pain, tell your acupuncturist. They’ll adjust the needles or choose other points. Their goal is not to make you feel pain. They do a lot of work to position you properly and make sure you feel comfortable.

How will I feel after acupuncture?

Indeed you can do acupuncture or massage while pregnant. It is safe and our practitioners are very well versed in how to treat pregnant women. Please let us know when you book a treatment if you are pregnant and how far along you are.
