An ancient ritual dating back thousands of years, hydrotherapy is an effective way of releasing tensions in the mind and body. The cycle of hot, cold and relax is both energizing and relaxing. It improves blood circulation and activates the lymphatic system to aid detoxification. The use of cold water therapy helps to reset your nervous system and encourages you to use your breath to recalibrate with the elements. It also actively promotes the release of endorphins creating a renewing and balancing sense of calm for body, mind and heart.

A healing and relaxing natural setting is yours to enjoy privately in blissful solitude or with a friend.

The first stage increases your body’s core temperature, dilating blood vessels on the skin’s surface, reducing blood pressure and increasing circulation to the skin and muscles. This increase in body temperature causes considerable perspiration, which helps cleanse the skin, purify the body’s energy and invokes a state of calm and introspection.
Heat up for 10-15 minutes in our:
Forest Hot Tub
Infrared Sauna with Chromotherapy
The second stage closes the pores of the skin, thus deepening the heat from the hot stage. A dip in the cold plunge helps to release endorphins and increase your heart rate. This very refreshing experience promotes a shift in blood pressure, encouraging the body to flush toxins and release muscle tension. This stage is where you will receive the most benefit of the hot, cold and relax cycle.
Chill a few seconds in our:
Cedar Cold Plunge
The final stage in the circuit allows the cardiovascular system and nervous system to regulate itself. After spending time in hot and cold environments, it is recommend to rest the body to help stabilize blood flow and heart rate. This is a time for body and mind to rest and relax. You may want to bring a book, meditate or just lounge and do nothing. Then REPEAT the hydrotherapy circuit.
Indulge for 10-15 minutes in our:
Forest Spa Lounge
Gratuities gratefully appreciated.
