Lumos Infrared Sauna

Overview

Lumos Infrared Sauna Studio is a family-owned and operated wellness center specializing in full-spectrum infrared sauna therapy, red light therapy, and cold plunge experiences. Founded in 2019 by former Division I athletes Rachel Bantelman-Evans and Jordan Evans, Lumos aims to provide deep healing, detoxification, and rejuvenation through advanced infrared technology. The studios emphasize private, luxurious sessions that promote relaxation, recovery, and overall health improvement.

The overall atmosphere is calming and intimate, with private sauna suites accommodating 1-4 people.

The focus on science-backed benefits creates a rejuvenating environment for athletes, wellness seekers, and those pursuing detoxification, pain relief, and stress reduction.

Notes

Lumos stands out for its athlete-founded roots, emphasizing recovery from sports injuries via infrared’s superior detox (7x more effective than traditional saunas). Key differentiators include lower-heat, deeper-sweat technology, private/group flexibility (individual pricing), integrated therapies (red light, plunge, chromo), and community events. Benefits like 600 calories burned per 30-min session, improved sleep, skin health, and mental resilience make it ideal for holistic wellness. Strict hygiene, waiver for medical safety, and cumulative benefits encourage regular visits. Positive reviews highlight staff, cleanliness, and transformative health improvements.
