Unlike a traditional steam sauna, infrared heat gently warms the body from the inside out, creating a comfortable experience that allows you to relax without the intensity of extremely hot air. As your body temperature gradually rises, muscles begin to soften, breathing slows and many clients leave feeling lighter, calmer and physically refreshed. Whether you're supporting recovery, improving your overall wellbeing or taking time to pause, infrared sauna sessions offer an opportunity to care for both body and mind.
For Kiama locals balancing work, training, family and busy weeks, infrared sauna can be positioned as an easy way to slow down, warm up and create space for recovery without needing to overthink it.
Traditional saunas heat the air around you. Infrared saunas work differently. Using invisible infrared wavelengths, energy is absorbed directly into the body before warming the surrounding air. Operating at a comfortable temperature of approximately 45–60°C, infrared technology raises your core body temperature while allowing you to enjoy a longer, more comfortable session. As your body warms, blood vessels dilate and circulation increases, delivering oxygen and nutrients more efficiently throughout the body. Heart rate rises in a similar way to moderate physical activity while sweating becomes the body's natural cooling mechanism. Heat exposure also stimulates the production of Heat Shock Proteins that are specialised proteins to help protect cells from stress and support healthy cellular repair. Research has also shown sauna bathing can increase the release of endorphins, dopamine and norepinephrine, natural chemicals involved in mood, motivation, focus and pain regulation.
