With expert facilitation, aromatherapy, breathwork, light refreshments, and seat towels included, it's perfect for groups of up to 16 looking for something more meaningful than the usual.

What an experience! We booked a private guided sauna at Wellspace for our team and it was beautiful. We had such a wonderful experience connecting and enjoying the sauna followed by either a dip in the river or an Ice bath all led by the amazing Jean who was super friendly and knowledgable and guided our team through three rounds of Sauna.
We had time to relax with each other between rounds around the fire drinking tea and sharing our experiences and this was a great way to connect.
Thank you also to Rick for being a great host and sharing his purpose with us for Wellspace - We look forward to visiting again!

Yes you can, if you feel comfortable to. We are in favour for the traditional European practices of nude sauna -it's incredibly liberating when you get past self judgement. All we ask is that you consider others when de-toweling inside the sauna.
However in saying this, most people choose to wear bathers.
Please consider the materials you sweat in as you don't want your skin absorbing synthentic materials. Cotton or bamboo is recommended.
Yes you can. When we sauna, our body releases a hormone when under stress (heat) called dynorophin to help cool us down. This natural chemical reaction also creates a sensitivity to endorphins, which is the 'happiness hormone', reducing stress, relieving pain and makes us 'feel good'.
Unfortunately not. As we are a establishing nature and bird sanctuary, we have a no dog policy to protect the wild life. Thanks for your understanding.
We are a no open consumption event. We encourage you to participate in the experience sober as you get a natural high from contrast hydrotherapy itself.
Yes you can however the river is a 'enter at your own risk' basis. Wellspace is not liable for any person(s) whom leave the property boundary. We do encourage safety first so keep an eye out for boats and each other if you are going for a swim.
