By now you’ll have seen that in-home saunas are the latest ‘biohack’ trend to take over the internet. There’s just a few teensie hurdles to overcome: You need a lot of space, and… a lot of money to buy one. 

For those who are fans of a post-pool dip or bathhouse steam, the experience of being enveloped in a warm blanket of air is something of a ritual. Thanks to Heat Healer—the game-changing in-home system which is affordable and packs down—you can still bring the sauna into your living room, without the hefty price tag. 

Interested? Of course you are. We spoke to Lauren Dovey, Heat Healer founder, to learn more about the revolutionary sauna system that can be used in the comfort of your own home.

In what ways does the privacy of an at-home sauna experience encourage users to explore a deeper sense of rejuvenation and self-care?

We encourage our customers to create their own spa sanctuary at home. That is one of the reasons why we introduced our gua sha stone body paddle to our range. This addition not only enhances the experience with a self lymphatic drainage massage before the sauna but also creates a seamless synergy between two practices that mutually amplify their benefits. Add your favourite body oil, a nice candle and you have luxe spa vibes at home.

Opting for the Heat Healer at home not only makes this self-care ritual more cost-effective but also by doing so in the comfort of your home promotes consistency. Over time, the cumulative effect of maintaining a consistent wellness routine leads to a state of relaxation and wellbeing, something that sporadic spa treatments simply can’t replicate.

Where does the system fit in terms of a wellness routine?

It all depends on what you’re looking for. Traditionally, my morning “hour of power” involved a 20-minute workout, a 30-minute sauna with breathwork and meditation, topped with a cold shower – a recipe for a charged day. Lately, I’ve shifted sessions to evenings for better sleep, with a 40-minute wind-down post-kids’ bedtime. I often stack it with a podcast. The flexibility of Heat Healer means it fits any part of the day. After work, it calms your nerves; in the morning, it pumps endorphins and boosts circulation.

What potential long-term impact on our overall health and wellness can we expect through regular use of Heat Healer?

We’re thrilled to hear countless stories of how the Heat Healer has transformed lives. Reports of increased energy, enhanced fitness routines, and recovery from stress flood in. 

There have been many published studies over many years into the benefits of regular sauna use, including the potential for:

1. Cardiovascular Health: Improved function, healthy blood pressure, reduced risk of diseases.
2. Mental Well-being: Stress reduction, better mood regulation, heightened mental well-being.
3. Pain Relief: Relief from chronic discomfort, thanks to the sauna’s muscle relaxation.
4. Detoxification: Impurities flushed out through deep sweating, boosting skin health and immunity.
5. Circulation Boost: Dilated blood vessels enhance nutrient delivery and tissue health.

These long-term benefits of sauna use are made more accessible, efficient, and consistent through Heat Healer in the comfort of your home.
