Sauna services in the Turku archipelago
Traditional Finnish sauna treatments and rituals – called saunotus – for individuals and groups.
Alessandra from Saariston saunottaja is your guide to the Finnish sauna culture, traditions, mythology, rituals, rune songs and hands-on vihta treatments in the sauna.
Saunotus is based on ancient wisdom
Step into the enchanting world of sauna. In the center is a living sauna culture that respects the ancient traditions but is adapting to the needs of the modern human. Saunotus is for you if you are interested in cultural heritage or you are traveling in the steps for your ancestors. Sauna treatments are also perfect as part of wellness tourism or on a pilgrimage.
Alessandra from Saariston Saunottaja serves sauna tourists and nature lovers along the Archipelago Trail. She has a traditional sauna in Parainen but can come to the sauna of your choice.
This was a unique and new experience for me. I felt the deep potential of sauna as healing and grounding that I had never felt before. Hanna
Sauna starts in the forest
The forest offers the stones, fire wood and the herbs and tree branches used in the vihtas. The sauna healer can tell you about the trees we use in the vihtas from both a mythological and a biological perspective.
You can also come along for a foraging walk with the sauna healer and get to learn about wild herbs used in the sauna.
We walk along trails and animal paths in the beautiful nature of the archipelago. Alessandra shares stories about the plants and her experience of working with them.
This is for you if you love wild herbs and are curious to learn more about
the local medicinal plants. You like to get light exercise and spend time
outdoors at moss-covered paths exploring and learning.
