Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional and steam saunas primarily heat the air around you. Infrared panels warm your body directly, so the room air feels less intense and a session can run longer at a comfortable temperature. In our sauna pods your body is inside the pod while your head stays outside. In the cabin you sit upright in a full-size wooden sauna with room for up to three.

Chromotherapy is colored light inside the sauna. Every pod and cabin session includes selectable colored light with 16 colors to choose from. Pick the color that fits today, change it any time, or ask your sēk specialist to set it before you settle in. The lights are soft and gentle.

Up to once a day. Several sessions in your first week is a common way to find your rhythm. Consistency matters more than intensity. If you have a health condition, ask your physician what cadence is right for you.

Arrive with clean, product-free skin. Skip lotions, oils, and cosmetics before any session. For red light therapy, wipes are provided in your room.

A light snack is fine. Give yourself an hour or two after a full meal before a sauna session, and arrive well hydrated. If you have already eaten, it will not hurt you; you may simply feel a little warmer.

Nope, each sauna is in a private room. If you want someone in the sauna with you, our Infrared Sauna Cabin can be enjoyed with up to 2 additional guests.

If you have had a hard time with traditional saunas due to being claustrophobic, then the sauna pod may be the answer for you. While your body is in the pod, your head will be outside breathing fresh air. You also have the ability to open and close the pod at any time by simply sliding the top up or down.  If at any time you feel anxious or want to get out, simply slide the pod open or press the call button and a sēk specialist will come help you.

Many clients who are initially nervous about being claustrophobic end up absolutely loving our sauna pods!

Our saunas are customizable, so the heat is up to you. We set the starting temperature for your comfort and can adjust it at any time during your session. Our solo pods reach temperatures of up to 150°F.

Don’t worry, we can customize a temperature just for you. If the heat makes you nervous, let a sēk specialist know and we will set your sauna to a lower temperature.  If you need your temperature adjusted during your session, just press the call button and a sēk specialist will come and adjust the temperature.

For a more relaxing, meditative sauna experience, ask to be placed in a lower temperature setting. Rather than sweating too much, you will feel warm and cozy, falling into a wonderful nap while still reaping all the benefits of our amazing infrared technology.

Everyone is different. On a first visit you may sweat very little, and that is normal. Infrared warms your body directly, so most people notice the sweat build in the second half of the session. The temperature is set for your comfort, and it is normal to stay warm or keep perspiring for a short while afterward.

Infrared Saunas heat the body, not the air. Simply open the pod or cabin door and hop out (you can get right back in after you cool down a bit).

The sauna pods use far infrared. The sauna cabin uses near, mid, and far infrared, the widest range we offer. Both warm your body directly rather than only heating the air around you. Infrared sauna is studied to support relaxation, muscle recovery, circulation, and better sleep.

A sauna pod session is 30 minutes, and a cabin session is 40 minutes. Both are in your own private room.

You are in your own private room so we recommend wearing nothing! The whole purpose is for the body to absorb the infrared heat so you’ll get the most benefit by removing clothing that may inhibit the absorption.

It can take a while for your body to return to its usual temperature after an infrared session, so it is normal to stay warm or keep perspiring for a short time afterward. Cool down at your own pace and keep drinking water.

Take your time getting up, cool down, and rehydrate. You may stay warm or continue perspiring briefly after the session, so give yourself a few minutes in the recovery lounge before heading out. If you are hungry afterward, a light snack is a good idea.

Infrared sauna is not available during pregnancy. Infrared sauna may not be appropriate for everyone. Speak with a healthcare professional before use 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 health condition that may be affected by heat exposure. Stop the session and press the call button if you feel dizzy, faint, unwell, or unable to tolerate the heat.
