Both of our saunas are built from cedar. A wood known for its strength, warmth, and resilience.

Cedar has been used in sauna building for generations. It expands and contracts less than other woods, which means it holds its shape through countless cycles of heat and steam. It’s naturally resistant to rot and mildew, making it ideal for the rhythm of sweat, rinse, rest, repeat.

But beyond the practical, there’s the sensory.

When cedar warms, it releases a clean, grounding aroma that lingers in the air long after you’ve stepped out. It’s calming…a scent that connects you to the natural world even when the door closes and the heat surrounds you.

Cedar doesn’t just look beautiful; it feels alive.
It stays cool enough to touch, breathes easily, and creates a soft, even heat that’s kind to the skin.

We chose cedar because it embodies balance…steady and alive, simple yet rich.

It makes the space feel honest, elemental, and deeply human. It’s the quiet heart of every Selkie sauna experience.

Wood pops.
Steam rises.
Heat hums.
Let the black stove organ play,
carrying away the day, note by note,
breath by breath.

🧊 THE COOL DOWN 🧊

Between the heat, there’s the pause.
Between the sweat and the steam, there’s the plunge.

Cooling down is not an afterthought in the sauna - it’s the other half of the ritual.

The heart slows.
The breath steadies.
The body remembers balance.

Cold water meets warm skin, and the world sharpens…crisp, alive, whole again.

Selkie Sauna was born from this love.
From the women of who sought the wild joy of cold water,
who dipped in lakes and seas with laughter on their lips,
who found themselves braver, freer, softer for it.

This is where it began:
In the space between heat and cold,
between solitude and sisterhood,
between breath and the deep, shimmering stillness that follows.

Joy isn’t always loud.
It’s the quiet shimmer that rises when you exhale fully.
It’s the small pulse of warmth that spreads when heat meets cold…when your skin remembers you’re alive.

Joy does not ask for a reason.
It shows up in the crackle of wood,
the hiss of steam on stone,
the laughter that drifts between rounds.

In the sauna, joy isn’t something to chase.
It’s what’s left when you stop chasing.
When you sit still long enough to notice:
You are here. You are warm. You are whole.

At Selkie Sauna, we believe self-care isn’t just another trend. It’s a way of being.

In a world that glorifies “busy,” it can feel rebellious to slow down. But we are not meant to produce endlessly, to fill every moment, to measure our worth in output. We’re meant to breathe, to feel, to rest, and to reconnect — with ourselves, with nature, with each other.

Taking time for self-care isn’t selfish. It’s how we return to balance. It’s how we remember what it feels like to BE rather than to do.

What does true rest look like for you right now? What is your favorite way to sloooooowwwwww down? Let us know in the comments below ⬇️ ❤️

🔥 ✨ The Magic of Steam ✨🔥

In the sauna, steam is more than heat - its spirit.

When water meets the stones, it becomes löyly - the living breath of the sauna. In Finnish tradition, it’s said that each wave of steam carries warmth for the body and calm for the mind…a bridge between the physical and the sacred.

It rises, swirls, and wraps around you, offering cleansing, softening, and restoration. The sound of water on stone, the hiss and sigh, the sudden stillness that follows… it’s pure alchemy.

This is the magic we chase. The rhythm of heat and breath. The ritual that reminds us what it means to be alive.

🔥 Why We’re So Into Sauna Hats 🔥

Sure, they look a little funny, but sauna hats are the secret to feeling just right in the heat.

These wooly wonders keep your head cool while your body soaks up all that glorious warmth. No dizzy spells, no rushing out early. Just calm, steady comfort from start to finish.

At Selkie Sauna, we wear them proudly. Part tradition, part science, and part style statement (depending how bold your hat game is). 😉

Find your heat. Settle in. Stay cozy - sauna hat and all.

Sauna is one of our oldest medicines - and one of the simplest.

When we sit in the heat:
🔥 Our hearts beat stronger.
🔥 Our circulation improves.
🔥 The body remembers how to rest and release.
🔥 Stress melts.
🔥 Breath deepens.
🔥 Something ancient inside us exhales.

At Selkie Sauna, we pair the science of heat therapy with the soul of ritual - gathering by the sea and lake, in rhythm with the seasons.

✨ Come experience the benefits for yourself. Join us this season to warm your body, clear your mind, and reconnect with what’s essential.

November dates are up on the website! We’ll be at Pond’s End this Sunday. Hope to sweat with you soon 😅

The elements have always known how to heal us.

In the sauna, we sweat.
In release, we sometimes cry.
And in the sea, we remember our wild selves.

Salt water, in all its forms, brings us home. 🌊

Every Selkie Sauna session begins with a simple act of care — our hosts carrying the wood, tending the fire, preparing the warmth that waits for you inside.🌲

At Selkie Sauna, it’s these quiet rituals — the scent of cedar, the glow of embers — that make the space feel alive.

All you have to do is arrive, breathe, and let the heat do the rest.
