Showing up somewhere new is its own small stressor — we’d rather you walk in already knowing what to expect. Here’s everything you need before, during, and after your first visit, so the only thing left to do is exhale.
After you book, you’ll receive an email with a short intake form covering basic medical history, current medications, and any conditions noted on our medical disclaimer page. Filling it out before you arrive saves time at the studio and helps us tailor your session. If you have a condition that requires physician clearance, please send confirmation along with your intake.
Comfortable, easy-to-change clothing. For most therapies, you’ll change into provided robes or athletic wear. Specifics: cryotherapy provides protective wear; sauna and red light require minimal clothing (provided); compression and hyperbaric work over your own clothes. Bring socks for the lounge. Skip heavy moisturizers, lotions, or perfumes — several therapies work better with clean, product-free skin.
Yourself. A water bottle if you have a favorite (we provide water, but some people like their own). [CONFIRM what’s provided: towels, robes, slippers, water, snacks, lockers.] If you wear contact lenses or have specific medications you take with food, bring what you need.
Show up well-hydrated — most therapies, especially sauna and contrast, work better in a hydrated body. Eat normally; you don’t need to fast. Avoid heavy meals or alcohol within 2 hours of cold exposure.
We recommend arriving 15 minutes before your scheduled session so you have time to change, settle, and start your visit relaxed instead of rushed.
Our team will greet you, walk you through your therapies for the day, and show you the lounge — which is yours for the full duration of your visit, before and after your session. Most first-time visitors spend 60–90 minutes total at the studio.

Whichever therapy or combination you’ve booked, our team will guide you through it from start to finish. They’ll explain what you’re doing, what to expect physically, and how to make the most of it. Ask questions — it’s how you learn what works for your body.
If anything feels uncomfortable or unsafe during a session, we stop. Listening to your body is part of the practice.
This is where the lounge earns its name. Most therapies leave the body in an active recovery state — nervous system shifting, circulation moving, the parasympathetic side waking up. Rushing back to your day cuts the work short. Stay 15 to 30 minutes if you can. Have water or a detox drink. Sit somewhere quiet. Let it settle.
In the hours after, you might feel: lighter, calmer, more energized, more clear-headed, or some combination of all of these. Some people feel a bit tired the rest of the day, especially after their first session — that’s normal. Sleep that night is often the deepest part.
If you decide to become a member after your first visit, your intro session credit applies toward your first month.
Some of our therapies are not appropriate for people with certain medical conditions — including pregnancy, recent surgery, certain cardiovascular conditions, and others. If you have any health condition you’re uncertain about, please consult your physician before booking, and complete the relevant fields in our intake form.
We recommend arriving 15 minutes before your scheduled session. That gives you time to change, complete any remaining intake details, settle into the lounge, and start your visit relaxed instead of rushed.
Plan for 60–90 minutes total. Your actual therapy time varies by what you booked — cryotherapy is 2–3 minutes, sauna is 30–45 minutes, hyperbaric is typically 60 minutes. The rest of your time is intake, changing, and lounge time before and after.
No — we provide robes, slippers, towels, and water. Just bring yourself, comfortable clothing to change back into, and any medications you might need.
[CONFIRM whether you offer showers]
[CONFIRM parking specifics]
That’s the most common scenario for first visits. Our team walks you through each therapy from start to finish — what you’re doing, what to expect physically, and how to listen to your body. There’s no need to know anything in advance.
Yes, though they’ll need to book their own session if they want to use any therapies. Most therapies are individual sessions; the lounge is shared. If you and a friend both want to come, book separately or talk with our team about a guest pass option.
Please review our medical disclaimer and contraindications before booking, complete the intake form fully, and consult your physician if any condition listed there applies to you. Our team can’t make medical decisions for you, but we can help you decide which therapies are reasonable to start with once you have your physician’s input.
