Cold Plunge & Sauna
This spa provides private infrared sauna sessions in individual rooms, offering a distinct experience from traditional steam saunas. Spa-goers describe the infrared heat as effective for muscle relaxation, calming sensory overstimulation, and aiding with anxiety regulation, creating a sensation similar to having exercised. The sauna rooms are noted as being small and not comfortable for two average-size adults. Some guests suggest privacy could be improved with better door seals and screening over the open ceilings of the booths. The HVAC system is also mentioned as being loud at times. Cleanliness in the sauna rooms operates on an honor system, with disinfectant provided for guests to clean up after themselves.
Atmosphere
The venue features a self-service, no-human-interaction business model that many guests with social anxiety appreciate. The space itself is described as clean and inviting, with a funky common area that includes a kitchenette. Thoughtful touches throughout contribute to the environment, though the setup is also characterized by some as extremely janky, resembling a studio apartment with temporary walls.
Pricing
The spa is noted for its affordable pricing and is considered a good option for those on a budget. Guests often receive "daily deal" emails with discounts on appointments, which can make sessions cheaper than other wellness treatments. The business model is praised for being extremely affordable and offering very flexible hours.
Staff
For massage services, specific therapists receive high praise. Sean is noted as being great, and Mikaela is highlighted for her calm presence, steady deep pressure, and intuitive approach during recovery massages. The owner is also mentioned as being very quick to answer calls and provide help with booking.
Location & Expansion
This is the second location for the business, with the original in Ballard. The Green Lake location offers convenience for guests in that area.
