sēk Sauna Studio · Franklin, TN
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about your first visit, booking, pricing and safety. For how each therapy works, every service page has its own FAQs.
Your First Visit

What happens on my first visit?
Come about ten minutes early. A sēk specialist checks you in, walks you to your private room, shows you how everything works, and answers anything you want to ask before your session starts.
You will also get a welcome email when you book, so nothing is a surprise when you arrive.
What should I bring and wear?
Bring water, and headphones if you like your own music or a show. A robe, full-size towel, wet cooling towel and face wipes are provided.
What you wear depends on the room. The sauna is private, so most guests wear very little. Red light therapy works best on clean, bare skin. Pressotherapy needs socks, pants and a long-sleeved shirt, since you are inside the suit. The cold plunge calls for a swimsuit if you would like a specialist to coach you through it. Loose clothes are nice to change back into after a sauna.
Are the rooms private?
Yes. Every service at sēk happens in your own private room, the cold plunge included. You never share a sauna, a tub or a treatment space with strangers. The Infrared Sauna Cabin is the one room built to share, and only with guests you bring.
Can I use my phone during a session?
With headphones, absolutely. Please silence your phone before you come in, because sound carries between rooms. The Solo Pods have an overhead phone holder so you can watch something while you lie back, and the Cabin has a screen with Pandora and Netflix.
Do you have a shower?
There is a Vitamin C shower, available to every client. We suggest waiting a while after a session so the heat or the cold keeps doing its work and your body comes back to temperature on its own. You change in your own private room.
What should I do after my session?
Take your time getting up, cool down, and drink water. It is normal to stay warm or keep perspiring for a while after an infrared sauna, and normal to feel wide awake after a plunge. If you are hungry afterward, a light snack is a good idea.
Do you provide water?
Complimentary filtered water is always available, and our hydration bar carries a range of drinks including alkaline water. You are welcome to bring your own refillable bottle. Hydrate before and after every session.
Booking & Policies

How do I book a session?
Book online, in the sēk app, or by calling or texting (615) 614-3461. Single sessions, packages and the Intro Week Pass are all sold online. Memberships are set up personally by our team.
Where are you, and what are your hours?
sēk Sauna Studio is at 1201 Liberty Pike, Ste. 121 in Franklin, Tennessee, in the Cool Springs area.
Monday to Thursday, 9am to 8pm. Friday, 9am to 5pm. Saturday, 10am to 5pm. Sunday, 11am to 5pm.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancel or reschedule at least 8 hours before your appointment. Inside that window the booking system still deducts the session from your account. If something unusual comes up, call or text us.
What if I am running late?
You will still get your session. It will just be shorter, so the guest after you starts on time. Let us know you are on the way and we will have your room ready.
Can I bring a friend, or book for a group?
The Infrared Sauna Cabin seats up to three, so you can bring one or two guests for $10 each. Every other room is one guest at a time. For something bigger, we host private parties.
Is there an age requirement?
Guests 12 and older can use red light therapy and the cold plunge, with a guardian in the studio if they are under 16. From 16 up, any service is open and a guardian does not need to stay. A guardian completes the waiver for anyone under 18.
We love kids, but children who are not receiving a service cannot wait in the studio.
Pricing & Passes
What is the Intro Week Pass, and who can use it?
It is how most people meet sēk: $99 for four sessions with Full Studio Access, used within seven days. Spend them on any combination of therapies you like. The pass is for clients who are new to sēk, one per person.
What does a single session cost?
Infrared sauna, single-panel red light therapy and pressotherapy are $60 each. Full-body red light therapy is $85. Cold plunge is $30. Ten-session packages and memberships bring the per-session price down.
Do I need a membership, and can I buy one online?
You do not need one. Single sessions, packages and passes can be booked any time. Memberships are simply the best value if you come regularly: they start at $99 a month and open the whole studio.
Memberships are set up personally rather than through a cart. Text 615.614.3461 or email hi@seksauna.com and a real person will get you started, usually within minutes.
What is the difference between a package and a membership?
A package buys ten sessions of one therapy at a lower per-session price. You have a year to use them and you can share them with friends and family.
A membership opens the whole studio every month, rolls unused sessions over for 30 days, and includes a designated plus-one at no extra cost.
Does my Intro Week Pass count toward a membership?
Yes. Join within 30 days of your pass and your $99 applies toward your first month, at any tier. The pass and its credit cannot be combined with other promotions, discounts or referral offers.
Do you take FSA and HSA cards? Do you sell gift cards?
FSA and HSA cards are accepted. Gift cards are available online and make a good first visit for someone who has never tried any of this.
Health & Safety
Is there anything I should tell you before my first session?
Yes. Tell your specialist about any health condition that heat, cold or compression might affect, and we will set the session up around it.
Speak with a healthcare professional before using an infrared sauna if you have a cardiovascular condition or heart-rhythm concern, use an implanted medical device, are recovering from surgery, have an open wound, or have another condition that may be affected by heat. Before a cold plunge, check first if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, Raynaud's syndrome or a pacemaker, and do not plunge after drinking alcohol or when you are unwell.
Every room has a call button. Stop your session and use it if you feel dizzy, faint or unwell.
Can I use the studio while pregnant?
Infrared sauna is not available during pregnancy.
For the cold plunge, talk with your healthcare provider first. Red light therapy should not be used over the breast or stomach of someone who is pregnant or breastfeeding. Pressotherapy can be modified with the torso portion of the suit left unused. Tell your specialist when you arrive and we will set it up for you.
How often can I come?
Infrared sauna, up to once a day. Several sessions in your first week is a common way to find your rhythm.
Red light therapy works with consistency: most protocols call for two or three sessions a week over four to eight weeks. For the cold plunge we suggest two to six minutes a session, with a goal of about eleven minutes a week in total. Consistency matters more than intensity. If you have a health condition, ask your physician what cadence is right for you.
Does red light therapy use UV light, or hurt?
No UV, and no pain. Celluma panels are FDA cleared and drug free, sessions are painless, and there is no downtime, so you go straight back to your day. Red light therapy should not be used on children under 12.
How do you keep everything clean?
The studio is entirely private rooms, so nothing is shared, and every room is reset between guests.
The cold plunge is a Plunge All-In, built for daily studio use. Its onboard system circulates, filters and ozone-sanitizes the entire tub every 15 minutes, and because every session is private, it is one guest at a time.
Choosing a Service
Which service should I try first?
Most new clients start with the Intro Week Pass, which is built for exactly this: four sessions in a week, so you can try the studio and find out what your body responds to before committing to anything.
If you would rather pick one, tell us what you are after when you book and a specialist will point you at the right room.
What is the difference between the Solo Pod and the Cabin?
In the Solo Pod you lie down with your body inside the pod and your head comfortably outside. Sessions run 30 minutes and the space is yours alone.
In the Cabin you sit upright in a full-size wooden sauna that runs at 150°F. Sessions run 40 minutes and up to three people can share it. Neither is better. It comes down to whether you would rather lie back on your own or sit up and share the warmth.
What is contrast therapy?
Time in heat followed by time in cold water: an infrared sauna session, then a cold plunge, each in its own private room. Book the two back to back, or text us and we will set it up for you.
Is red light therapy the same as an infrared sauna?
No. An infrared sauna uses infrared warmth to heat your body and make you sweat. Red light therapy uses red, blue and near-infrared light at levels that feel gently warm rather than hot, and it is not a sweat session. sēk offers both, each in its own private room.
Can I use a red light panel at home?
Yes. We rent the Celluma PRO PLUS, the same professional panel we use in the studio, for one, four or eight weeks, with an in-person walkthrough before it goes home with you.
