The Fifth Om

It’s basically the adult version of a time out. Voluntarily.

Your nervous system has been waiting for this.
The Far Infrared Sauna at is private and quiet experience. Imagine 30 minutes of your body doing something it rarely gets permission to do ⤵️

Completely let go.

This is what makes it different from any sauna you’ve been in before:

🔥 Infrared heat penetrates into soft tissue, warming muscles, fascia, and joints from the inside out. Not surface heat. Deep heat.
(The kind that can actually unwind chronic tension)

🌈 Chromotherapy is built in. The visible light therapy works alongside the heat, which can shift your nervous system from fight-or-flight into rest-and-repair. It sounds subtle, but you’ll feel it.

⭐️ The prep effect is why we sequence sauna before massage and facial treatments in our spa pairings and journeys. Warmed muscles can receive bodywork differently and allows your practitioner to go deeper.

The goal ➡️ results that last longer

You can book a standalone session, alongside another service, or as the opening ritual to one of our journeys.

We are a place for holistic well-being at the heart of downtown Kennebunk.

The quieter space, the slower pace, and the alternative options… that’s what we are being noticed for 🙌🏼

And then won a state-wide award for ⤵️

Bronze Winner for Best of the 207’s Alternative Therapies is right here in downtown Kennebunk.

Here’s what this award is really about:

🔥 Far Infrared Sauna - Heat plus far infrared light that penetrates tissue, dials the nervous system toward rest, and prepares the body for everything that comes after.

🧬 Infrared Recovery Massage with the Celluma Pro LED Panel - FDA cleared light therapy that can reduce inflammation, support cellular repair, and make the work on the table go deeper and last longer.

🌿 Herbal Foot Soaks - The part of the body that carries the most and gets tended to the least. Warm water, house blended botanical soaks, and a moment that signals to the whole system to rest.

⭐️ Cupping Therapy - Effective, yet misunderstood. Decompresses tissue, moves stagnation, and can reduce inflammation.

🌙 Reiki - For the stress that lives below the surface. The kind that doesn’t show up on an intake form but that every lead practitioner in our spa knows how to meet.

🌱 CBD Immersion Massage - features potent, THC-free CBD products made by massage therapists who understand pain. Specialty retail on our shelf, and therapeutic oils and creams in our treatment rooms because we have personally felt what it can do.

And new offerings are on the way as this year pushes us forward.

We are about care over correction. Always 🤍

The spa in downtown Kennebunk

If it feels like your body has been keeping score all winter, then it probably has been.

The tight jaw.
The shoulders up to the ears.
The exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix.
The sense that you’re pushing yourself too much.

These are not random; these are patterns of seasonal burnout.

After over a decade of serving you in the holistic wellness community, we have learned to recognize the most common patterns that lead to burnout.

Swipe through to see if any of these patterns are showing up for you this season.

As recent dual Bronze Winner for Best Day Spa and Best in Alternative Therapies in Maine’s Best of the 207, we would love to be your soft landing into self care.

This is the part of Maine winters that can hit us the hardest. Our nervous system is in a state of “go” and not so much “rest”.

Week after week, this mode starts to feel like baseline. Let’s shift that.

Here’s what chronic stress can cost the body over time:

➡️ collagen breaks down
➡️ skin barrier weakens
➡️ lymphatic flow slows
➡️ tension holds in the jaw
➡️ shoulders shrug to the ears

This is why we have been talking a lot about the 90-Minute “Digital Detox” to momentarily tap out of the external overstimulation and let yourself drop into a state of rest and relaxation.

We encourage 90 minutes not because 90 minutes is a magic number (OK maybe it is) but because ⤵️

✔️ the nervous system needs time to downshift
✔️ cortisol needs time to drop
✔️ you need time to mentally recalibrate

Real recovery has a rhythm, and we’ve designed unique spa experiences to support you in that rhythm.

We have been talking a lot about the nervous system lately and recently started reframing our 90 minute holistic spa offerings as a form of “digital detox.”

Constant notifications, blue light exposure, and decision fatigue keep our body and mind in the loop of fight-or-flight longer than we might realize.

When this happens, the body shifts away from functions like repair, healing, and skin renewal. This is how chronic stress can show up on the skin, breaking down collagen and leading to dullness or even congestion.

Our 90-minute spa experiences can help you release both the physical and mental signature of stress.

Dedicating 90 minutes for yourself can help you downshift, regulate, restore, and repair. You can curate this time with us in several ways:

• 90 min Integrative Massage (or Immersion or Infrared Recovery Massage)
• 90 min Elevated Facial (or Classic Facial or Reveal Peel Resurfacing Facial)
• Three-by-Thirty Journey (FIR Sauna + Massage + Facial)
• 30 min FIR Sauna + 60 min Massage or Facial
• Blend of a Massage + Facial Treatment (45 min + 45 min OR 60 min + 30 min)

Imagine what 90 minutes could do for you.

02/23/2026

Why 90 minutes? Because stress isn’t just about the mental and emotional load.

Your nervous system needs time to downshift.
Cortisol needs time to drop.

Circulation needs time to restore.

90 Minutes can be just enough time for that recalibration.

Chronic stress can break down collagen and elastin, weaken the skin barrier, reduce lymphatic flow, and create jaw tension leading to puffiness.

A 90 minute spa experience can allow you to downshift into rest mode, deeply restore yourself on multiple levels, and give your mind + body the opportunity to recenter.

Save this reel as your reminder to UNPLUG.

Curate your 90 minutes “Digital Detox” spa experience at The Fifth Om. Here are a few ways you can spend your time with us:

• 90 min Integrative Massage (enhancements available also!)
• 90 min Elevated Facial (blends advanced holistic modalities)
• Three-by-Thirty Journey (FIR Sauna + Massage + Facial)
• 30 min FIR Sauna + 60 min Massage OR 60 min Facial
• Blend of Massage + Facial (45 min + 45 min OR 60 min + 30 min)

✨ Imagine yourself unplugged. ✨
