The warmth of the sauna. The freshness of cold water. Our contrast rooms bring both together, with privacy and space to find your own rhythm.
Two experiences, one private space
Contrast therapy brings warmth and cold into the same session. In our rooms, that means an infrared sauna alongside a cold plunge, with time to move between the two.
The setting is deliberately simple. A considered space, privacy, and a pause from the pace of the day. Whether this is a familiar ritual or your first experience of cold water, we’ll introduce you to the room before you begin.
Choose a session that gives you space
We offer 40, 60 and 75-minute contrast appointments. Choose the option that works for your day, allowing time to arrive and settle in. These are appointment lengths, rather than a guide to how long you should spend in the heat or cold.
If you’d like help choosing between sauna and contrast therapy, talk to us. We can explain the rooms and booking options so you can choose the experience you’re looking for.
The plunge is your choice
Cold water is part of the room, but using it is entirely optional. You’re welcome to enjoy the sauna without stepping into the plunge. There’s no expectation to complete a set number of rounds or stay in the water for a particular time.
We’ll explain how to use the equipment and how to reach us during your visit. Follow the guidance we give you for the room, rather than a routine you’ve seen online.

Keep your preparation simple
Bring swimwear or light activewear and a change of clothes if you’d like one. We provide fresh towels. Check your confirmation for any preparation details specific to your appointment.
If you’re unsure whether heat or cold exposure is suitable for you, speak with your healthcare professional before booking. You can also contact us with questions about the space and equipment.
Make it time together
Our private rooms can also be a place to reconnect with someone. If you’d like to bring a friend, check the room capacity and guest option with us before reserving. We’ll help you choose the right space for your visit.
Give yourselves a little time around the appointment. A shared pause feels better when neither of you has to rush away.
Your next pause starts here
