Healing Hideaway Questions


  • What is infrared sauna therapy?

    Infrared light is the invisible part of the sun’s spectrum. The heat penetrates the skin, warms your body from the inside out, and helps to eliminate the build-up of toxins in your body. Infrared heat is gentle on the skin and provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation.

  • Is it safe?

    Yes, our saunas come backed by the latest science available to us that ensures you receive the best in infrared technology. Infrared heat is completely safe and all objects give off and receive infrared heat. In fact, it is so safe, hospitals use similar heaters to warm newborns. Infrared is a part of nature and essential for life. The human body gives off and receives infrared in the far infrared band. When a mother rubs a babies stomach to relieve pain, it is the infrared heat from her hand that is causing the healing effect. We have tuned our True Wave heaters to give off far infrared in this same range for maximum absorption by your body and for maximum therapeutic benefits. 

  • Is my sauna session private?

    Yes it can be, or you can book a double /treble occupancy suite with a friend. Your sauna experience will be private and uninterrupted. 

  • What should I wear?

    The less the better to allow maximum skin exposure. This could be a bathing suit, shorts and a tank, or go “au naturel” for a more liberated sweat (we don’t judge). You can wrap yourself in a towel that we provide for each guest. It’s all up to you.


    What do I need to do to make the most out of my session.


    Keep hydrated before during and after you session. If it really important to replace electrolytes after your sauna session.  

  • Are there showers?

    No.  Your body continues to sweat for approximately 30/45 minutes after your session ends. We recommend showering after your body has cooled down and you have hydrated sufficiently at home. Don’t stop the toxins from sweating out your pores by showering, let your body cool down naturally.  This is what’s known as a clean sweat and you wont feel dirty!! 

  • How often should I visit Healing Hideaway?

    At least twice a week is ideal, but you can book a session as often as you like! It is a great complement to your exercise routine and also perfect for a rest or recovery day. Our sauna specialists will guide you on certain detox protocols, please just ask. 

  • What if I am under 18? Can I still use the sauna?

    Yes, but minimum age is 16 and must be accompanied by an adult. We do not allow younger individuals to use our facilities as the core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. This occurs due to a higher metabolic rate per body mass,limited circulatory adaptation to increased cardiac demands and the inability to regulate body temperature by sweating. When using with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time. 

  • Are the saunas sanitary?

    Health and hygiene is our priority! The heat and infrared light of our saunas are naturally disinfecting and kill 99.9% of bacteria. We also lay towels on the bench that are changed between each session, as well as provide individual towels for each guest. In addition, the rooms are cleaned and sanitized between each visit with non-toxic supplies, to insure you enjoy the best experience.

  • Who shouldn't use the saunas?

    Infrared saunas impart amazing benefits; however, if you are unsure, you should consult with your physician before booking a session. Do not use if you are pregnant or elderly, have serious inflammation, cardiovascular conditions, a fever, a communicable disease, hemophilia, or are intoxicated or dehydrated. You should consult with your physician regarding certain medications, or if you have sensitivity to heat, or a condition that affects your body’s ability to sweat. All our customers must either download or form or fill out at our premises before using our saunas.
