Testimonials

A truly lovely experience. We had a group 90 minute session. Jen made everyone feel welcome, comfortable and included from the start. The sauna and the rituals were so relaxing and enjoyable, and I really appreciated Jen’s knowledge and emphasis on safety. I would definitely recommend.

Thanks again for a wonderful session, and looking forward to the next one

The Growing Me team are revitalised and ready for all spring brings us, following a fantastic team nurturing session with Saunafolk.

Jen, our Sauna Master, guided us through the most relaxing and beautiful sauna rituals, using essential oils and leaf whisks that left us feeling so full of energy and support from each other and the community we are in.  It was a new experience for some of us, and Jen helped us feel so nourished and cared for.

Getting the support we need is vital not just for our own wellbeing, but in order to help our children we care for.

We can thoroughly recommend Saunafolk as the perfect way to reflect and refresh in nature!

Thanks so much Jen, it was a fantastic experience, I can’t recommend the Pirtis rituals enough, it was such a new way to enjoy sauna. Your knowledge and passion for it shines. I felt so relaxed and slept so well after it. I will be back!

If you are wondering whether you should try out this sauna then the answer is YES it’s amazing… we booked a Saunafolk pirtis ritual session and it was an absolute joy. Jen is so calming and kind, and immediately put us all at ease, gently guiding us through our first taste of sauna-ing Lithuanian style… we were introduced to a completely natural sensory relaxation experience, from aromatherapy to cold plunge, to being ‘whisked’ with birch…leaving us all feeling so relaxed and zen we immediately want to go again! A wonderful treat to share in a beautiful outdoor setting – 100% recommend Saunafolk and can’t wait to go back.

I was lucky enough to be part of a Lithuanian sauna ritual at SaunaFolk with a group of friends, led by Jen. It was such an incredible experience. Jen was so fantastic and knowledgeable at delivering the session and the whole experience was so calming and wholesome. I came away feeling completely relaxed, rejuvenated and like I have found a part of myself that I didn’t know existed. I’ve already contacted to book my next session! I highly recommend booking yourself in!
