Tell us
Pregnancy, injuries, allergies: we change the treatment, never judge.
A word on heat and health.
Most guests use everything we have. A few should not, and our therapists will always ask before your treatment.
Heat is not for everyone. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or high blood pressure, take medication that affects circulation, or have had alcohol, please skip the sauna and steam room and ask your doctor before you visit.
