Step into dry infrared warmth, then choose the sharp contrast of cold water in your own Fire & Ice suite. The appeal is the change in sensation and a visit shaped around your comfort—not an endurance challenge.
The small Fire & Ice room accommodates 1–2 people for 45, 60 or 90 minutes. The large room accommodates up to 4 people for 60 minutes, with a 30-minute extension available. Choose the room and time around your party rather than an assumed health target.
- Fire & Ice Contrast pairs an infrared sauna with a 48–54°F cold plunge in a private suite. It is a distinctly different experience from a steam bath: compare how you feel about dry warmth and cold water before deciding which setting appeals to you.
Choosing Your Visit
Keep the first visit simple. Choose one experience, leave room for preparation and changing, and note what was comfortable or inconvenient afterward. Those observations can guide another visit without turning rest into a performance test.
Wellness experiences can sit alongside ordinary leisure and appropriate healthcare. They do not need to outperform time outdoors, a quiet evening or another preferred form of rest to be worth choosing. Select what fits your interests and budget.
A demanding work schedule can make protected downtime difficult to arrange. Put the appointment in a realistic gap, allow for the journey and resist packing every spare minute with another task. The value is dedicated time away from everyday demands.
The cold shock response can involve rapid changes in breathing, heart rate and blood pressure. It is not evidence of an immediate parasympathetic reset or improved stress resilience. Discuss suitability with your clinician before cold exposure, particularly with cardiovascular concerns or relevant medication.
Avoid turning heat or cold into an endurance challenge. Discuss suitability, temperature sensitivity and the option to skip the plunge before purchasing. Stop if you feel unwell; an appointment length is not an instruction to remain in either temperature continuously.
Before heat or cold exposure, consult your clinician about cardiovascular conditions, blood-pressure disorders, medications or pregnancy. Do not use a plunge to test whether symptoms will go away. Bring questions about entry, exit and time between the sauna and water.
Making Time for the Experience
A useful wellness plan starts with preferences you can describe: quiet or sensory stimulation, a short appointment or a longer break, time alone or a shared setting. Compare the actual format and practical requirements before choosing an experience.
No Solivana experience is booked during the first trimester. Later in pregnancy, check with your OB/GYN or midwife before booking any experience. Pressotherapy is not booked at any stage of pregnancy. For a possible float, discuss comfort, entry and exit and your individual circumstances rather than assuming that buoyancy makes it suitable.
A blood-pressure condition calls for individual clinical advice before sauna or cold-water exposure. Do not use Fire & Ice Contrast to lower a reading or test your tolerance. Tell your clinician about the planned heat and cold, relevant medications and symptoms, and discuss suitability before purchasing.
