Traditional Sauna Healing
I offer guided sauna experiences in Keuruu and the surrounding municipalities. Every sauna experience is individual and designed to support the body's recovery and the calming of the nervous system.
In these treatments I use various whisk (vihta) techniques that soothe body and mind and bring relaxation into everyday life.
Traditional sauna healing has been added to the National Inventory of Living Heritage, part of UNESCO's Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. This recognition highlights sauna bathing as a form of therapy, a ritual, and a rich part of Finnish folk tradition. I am happy to be able to keep this tradition alive.

The Healing Whisk Treatment
The healing whisk treatment is a relaxing individual treatment in which warmth, touch, and the scents of nature combine into a healing sauna experience. Different whisks (vihtas) are used depending on the season: birch invigorates, juniper cleanses, and linden calms. Finnish flowers and herbs are used in rhythm with the seasons to support the balance of body and mind.
The sauna temperature is around 65 °C, and the whole body is treated gently and respectfully. Sauna singing and sound may also be part of the experience.
The healing whisk treatment supports the body's recovery in many ways: the nervous system calms, the muscles relax, and the connection to oneself deepens.
I offer the healing whisk treatment by appointment in Keuruu, Central Finland, and the surrounding areas. It can take place at the local Sauna Trail, in the client's own sauna, or in another bookable sauna.

Sauna Ceremonies
As a Traditional Sauna Healer, my passion is to bring out the gentleness, sacredness, and connection to nature of the Finnish sauna tradition. A group sauna ceremony is a holistic experience for body and mind: nature, whisks, herbs, and healing elements create a relaxing experience.
You can choose different themes for group sauna sessions:
- Luck-raising group sauna
Bridal sauna / bachelorette sauna in the spirit of tradition
- Kekri sauna — harvest celebration and honouring of ancestors
- Empowering new-moon and full-moon sauna for women
Pain-relief sauna (Kivuttarensauna)
- Customised group sauna ceremony
What you get from the sauna experience:
- Relaxation and a calmer nervous system
Connection to your own body
- Connection to your roots and Finnish traditions
The aromatic and herbal effects of plants
- A new, deeper way of experiencing the Finnish sauna
A sauna ceremony is ideal for groups of friends or colleagues, bachelorette parties, wellness-day programmes, or a shared moment in the embrace of nature or alongside other outdoor experiences. Ceremonies can also be combined with an individual treatment, such as the healing whisk treatment.
A sauna ceremony can take place at the local Sauna Trail, in the client's own sauna, or in another bookable sauna.
