Step into Nature's Own Rhythm
Relax into the löyly. The sound of vihtas (whisks), fire and water brings you closer to your own nature. The work of the sauna healer is calm and respectful - cleansing steam and the touch of soft leaves. Every session happens in a natural rhythm, just for you.
Healing sauna ritual for two
Imagine a sauna filled with scents from the Finnish forest. The sauna healer stands at the threshold to welcome you into a deeply immersive experience — healing for body, mind and soul.
The sauna has always been a place of healing and ritual. Here, whisks of bundled twigs and leaves work like giant, gentle hands, offering both massage and aromatherapy.
The treatment is renewing and cleansing, and supports healthy circulation. Your muscles begin to release, and the autonomic nervous system can find its natural balance.
Songs from Finnish ancestors carry you into a dreamlike state of deep relaxation, while the crackle of fire and the hiss of steam rising from hot stones create an atmosphere that feels both ancient and otherworldly.
This private sauna ritual includes:
- A whisking ritual with soft whisks
- Salts, honey and locally gathered herbs
- A deeply soothing water ceremony, using waters of different temperatures to rinse and restore as you rest in the warmth of the sauna
- Ancient Finnish rune songs and spoken spells
The ritual follows a pattern rooted in old wisdom while always honouring your own wishes and comfort, including the temperature of the sauna.
75-90 minutes. Price: 75€ per person. Same ritual for one person 149€

"Such a special experience to have my first proper traditional ceremonial sauna. I felt held, cleansed and uplifted. Ceremonial sauna work is ancient and yet it felt new. Like being surrounded by grandmother's and their gentle holding. Like floating on a crystal clear river through the forest." Pia

Testimonial
"Thank you for a great experience. It felt very safe and we got clear instructions all the time. The sauna healer made sure we stayed hydrated and had enough oxygen throughout the sauna session. The whisking was very relaxing. It was a combination of relaxing massage and a more firm treatment." Daniel
Peat sauna
The Finnish version of peat treatment is a peat sauna. Finland is the first country where peat was used in saunas.
Therapeutic peat is 100% natural and has
health-promoting effects. In Finland we say that peat is the gift of Mother Earth.
Peat is promoting the restorative capacity of the skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body and when it is health this brings overall healing.
Peat sauna relaxes the body, relieves possible pain and swelling.
The sauna healer is making sure that the temperature and moist level is right for the peat and that you get a nice experience.
About 60 minutes. Price: 250€ per group.

Sauna starts in the forest
The forest offers the rocks for the sauna stove, the fire wood, the herbs and tree branches used in the vihtas (whisks). The sauna healer tells stories about the trees we use in the whisks from both a mythological and a biological perspective. Birch, maple, rowan, alder and linden all have their own unique qualities and have been used for healing properties. They bring warmth, presence and scents.
You are also welcome to come along for a foraging walk with the sauna healing practitioner and learn about wild Nordic herbs used in the sauna. We walk along trails and animal paths in the beautiful nature of the archipelago.
In the Finnish healing sauna rituals, nature meets culture.
