Solace Sauna Studio

Overview

Solace Sauna Studio is a premier infrared sauna facility in St. Petersburg, Florida, founded in 2019 by Erica, inspired by her global travels experiencing authentic sauna cultures in Europe and Southeast Asia. Recognizing a lack of accessible saunas in the St. Pete community, she created a space that makes sauna therapy enjoyable and transformative. Currently located at 2454 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, FL 33712, Solace is relocating to 8362 Market St., Lakewood Ranch with a grand opening in early November.

The overall atmosphere is a private sanctuary for the soul, emphasizing more than just sweating—it’s a spiritual, restorative experience. Sessions are fully private (no walk-ins; by appointment only), allowing relaxation, meditation, music, or reading in wood-paneled cabins with gentle infrared heat (125-165°F), chromotherapy lights, and add-ons like red light or salt therapy. Clients leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, glowing, and renewed.

• Infrared Advantage: Direct body heating (vs. traditional saunas’ high heat/humidity); safer, deeper sweat at lower temps.
• Unique Aspects: Women-led, community-focused; private cabins foster personal rituals; contraindications (e.g., pregnancy, pacemakers) with physician consultation advised; hydration/makeup removal emphasized for optimal experience.
• Special: Fills St. Pete’s sauna gap; spiritual vibe; combo therapies set it apart from basic saunas.
