A Calm, Invigorating Way to Reset
Fire & Ice Contrast Therapy pairs therapeutic heat and invigorating cold in guided cycles. Start in our 5‑person infrared sauna with surround heating panels that deliver deep, even warmth. Built‑in red light supports cellular repair and skin health, while chroma therapy lighting helps balance mood and energy. Alternating with a chilly plunge creates a natural vascular workout that refreshes circulation.
Great for athletes, active professionals, and wellness seekers wanting faster recovery, focus, and stress relief. Our extra‑large cold plunge comfortably fits up to two guests between sauna rounds. Sessions are tailored to your comfort with breath coaching and timing guidance. People who are pregnant or have cardiovascular conditions should consult a healthcare provider. Hydration, nutrition, and rest help amplify results.

Understanding Our Contrast Therapy Process
Settle into a guided rhythm designed to warm, refresh, and reset. We customize timing, temperatures, and breathing cues, creating a smooth flow that supports comfort, recovery, and calm from start to finish.
Step 1: Heat (Fire) – Begin in our 5-person infrared sauna, equipped with surround heating panels that deliver deep, penetrating warmth from all angles. The sauna also features built-in red light therapy for enhanced cellular repair and skin health, and chroma therapy lighting to balance mood and energy.
Step 2: Cold (Ice) – Transition into the extra-large cold plunge, comfortably fitting up to 2 guests. The icy immersion constricts blood vessels, reduces inflammation, and floods the body with endorphins for an immediate boost in energy and alertness.
Step 3: Contrast Cycle – By alternating between hot and cold, the body experiences a natural “vascular workout,” improving circulation, flushing out toxins, and accelerating recovery.
FAQs
How long is a Fire & Ice session, how many people can join, and what does it cost, including group rates?
Each session lasts 45 minutes. You can book individually or as a group of up to 4 guests, with 2 in the cold plunge at a time. Pricing is $71 for one guest, with discounted group rates available.
How many hot–cold rounds should I do in my first session?
For most beginners, two to three rounds is plenty. Start with a shorter warm phase in the infrared sauna (8–10 minutes) followed by a brief cold exposure (45–90 seconds). Rest between rounds, listen to your body, and let our team adjust temperatures and timing based on comfort. Focus on calm, steady breathing and smooth transitions rather than pushing limits. If you feel lightheaded or overly chilled, pause or finish with gentle warmth and hydration. Over future visits, you can gradually increase duration or add a third round as tolerance improves and goals evolve, prioritizing safety and recovery over intensity always.
Is Fire & Ice Contrast Therapy safe if I have heart conditions or am pregnant?
Contrast therapy involves cardiovascular stimulation, so medical clearance is important if you have heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, arrhythmias, or are pregnant. Our team will gladly adjust temperatures, durations, and number of rounds, but your provider’s guidance should lead. If cleared, start gently with shorter warm intervals, very brief cool exposures, and longer rest. Skip extremes, avoid breath-holding, and stop immediately if dizzy, nauseated, or uncomfortable. People with neuropathy, Raynaud’s, open wounds, recent surgery, fever, or acute illness should postpone. Medications affecting circulation or temperature perception warrant caution. When in doubt, reach out to your clinician first, then we’ll personalize safely.
What should I wear and what should I bring?
Comfortable swimwear or athletic wear works well. Many guests choose a swimsuit for easy transitions; others prefer moisture-wicking shorts and a sports top. Bring a water bottle, sandals, and a small towel if you like; we provide towels and filtered water on site. Remove jewelry and smartwatches to protect skin and devices from temperature changes. Light, breathable layers for after your session feel great. Avoid heavy meals, alcohol, and excessive caffeine beforehand. If you use inhalers or require medication, keep them accessible. Arrive hydrated, and consider a snack with electrolytes after. Our team handles setup, cleaning, and guidance throughout happily.
How often should I schedule Fire & Ice sessions for best results?
Frequency depends on goals, recovery needs, and how your body responds. For general stress relief and sleep support, once weekly works beautifully. For training recovery or heavy workloads, one to two sessions weekly can help maintain momentum. If you’re new, begin with weekly visits for three to four weeks, then reassess. As tolerance grows, some guests shift to every 10–14 days for maintenance. Space sessions at least 24 hours from intense workouts if you prefer deep rest, or schedule shortly after activity for quicker reset. Track energy, sleep, and soreness to fine-tune cadence with our team’s guidance along the way.
