Our Story
ABOUT WILD SAUNA IN HAMPSHIRE
Wild Sauna in Hampshire was born out of a passion for the power of contrast therapy. There was nothing like this in the rural Candover Valley, and we knew it should exist. We wanted to create a space where people could experience the incredible benefits of sauna followed by cold plunge without having to travel miles to find it.
For us, the Wild Sauna experience isn’t just about the heat and cold — it’s about well-being, connection, and a return to something elemental. The science behind contrast therapy is compelling, but what really drives us is how it makes people feel: refreshed, restored, and re-energised. We believe this experience should be accessible to everyone, whether you’re looking to unwind, recover, or simply reset in nature.
We also want Wild Sauna in Hampshire to be a hub for community and collaboration, and we feel so lucky to be a short walk away from the stunning café at The Yard. Believe us, the coffee and lunch after your Wild Sauna experience will taste amazing!
Come and experience the power of contrast therapy for yourself—we can’t wait to welcome you!
"In the heat of the sauna and the chill of the plunge, we find strength, clarity, and connection—the powerful balance that rejuvenates both body and mind."
MEET THE FOUNDER
As a physiotherapist, Pilates teacher and enthusiastic open-water swimmer, I’ve always embraced a holistic approach to wellness. I have learnt through my physio and Pilates practice what it takes for people to feel their best self – not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. In today’s fast-paced world, I believe it’s more important than ever to cultivate habits that prioritize rest, health, and deep connection with ourselves and others.
When I first tried an outdoor sauna and cold plunge experience it completely amazed me. The contrast of heat and cold awakened a new level of vitality, resilience, and well-being that I had never felt before. It was an experience that I knew I had to share. And so, Wild Sauna in Hampshire was born, nestled in the heart of rural Hampshire at The Yard.
With sauna culture flourishing across the UK, particularly along the coast, I am beyond excited to bring this powerful wellness tradition to the Hampshire countryside. Wild Sauna is more than just a place to sweat and recharge—it’s about creating a welcoming space where people can reconnect with themselves, with nature, and with a like-minded community that values well-being.
Hope to meet you soon!
