Hi, I’m Lisa A married, ocean loving local, with two teenage daughters. Earlier this year I turned 50, resigned from my role, and took a leap to reconnect with myself. Not long after, I bumped into the sauna community at Hillarys and it’s been a game changer. I’ve been going several times a week, feeling better than ever, and have loved connecting to all the incredibly talented people involved. The conversations have been as healing as the sweating! I’m a communications and engagement specialist with 25+ years’ experience in the not-for-profit and human services sector, supporting people, families and organisations in aged care, disability and mental health. Right now, I’m exploring new opportunities. I recently helped run a respite retreat for NDIS participants in Margaret River, and I’m about to start delivering strengths-based, wellbeing workshops in the corporate world. I am passionate about people and their potential, and have been thinking about a version of Jason's ‘Friends who Create', offering mentorship to people living with disability and/or mental ill health to create micro-business opportunities, helping turn their passions into income and independence. Here’s me leaping off to see where else the wind blows 😍

Hello, I'm Shannon! I've been running for 10 years now, originally inspired by my driving instructor who was in his mid-60s at the time and still smashing sub 4 marathons - proof it's never too late to start. Since then, I've completed five marathons, including two World Majors (London and Berlin) and I'm currently training for my sixth in Perth later this year. The sauna has become a huge part of my routine in the last year, not just for recovery, but as a place to slow down and connect with such a great community. Something I will forever be grateful for.

Join Sergey for a two-hour Siberian Sauna Experience at Hillarys. Guided by ancient Siberian and Scandinavian rituals, enjoy light breath work, birch whisking, ocean immersion, traditional tea, music and deep rest. Friday 6th February, 6-8pm, Hillarys Boat Harbour Find it in the calendar HERE

Has anyone else tried this before? Mentioning this because I genuinely do feel the difference! For my sauna fam, I’ve been using Dert Hydro-Utopia during sauna sessions and one of the main things I love is that it has a binding agent, which helps pull toxins out instead of letting them re-enter the body while we sweat. It also has 52 raw minerals and is completely natural in its purest form, which I really appreciate. I’ve tried other flavored or synthetic options before, but this just feels cleaner and way more enjoyable to drink. Definitely adds a nice little boost to my sauna routine! 🫶🏽

As of the 4th of February, ice baths will be located at our Leighton and Hillarys beach side locations. Move between heat and cold immersion to reset the mind and body in our brand new baths. We're very excited to welcome this ritual back! Book online by selecting Ice Bath as an add-on to your sauna session.
