Notes

• Unique Aspects: Full-spectrum infrared saunas (gentler, lower temp than traditional; 7x detox sweat); holistic, body-led approach dispelling spa stereotypes; trans-inclusive (therapist Frankie specializes in post-surgery care); no couples in same room but tandem bookings; strict 24hr cancellation (100% fee otherwise); pregnant clients excluded from saunas but welcome for prenatal massage; no insurance, but receipts for reimbursement; small boutique vibe prioritizes privacy and personalization.
