Heather’s passion for contrast therapy began as a personal pursuit and has evolved into a fascination with the historical and cultural roots of the sauna tradition. She is dedicated to creating welcoming experiences where participants are invited to meet themselves—body and mind—just as they are. In each session, Heather draws on the energetic and therapeutic qualities of essential oils, selecting specific blends to enhance every experience, whether the intention is detoxification, invigoration, deep relaxation, or lucid dreaming. Her offerings may also include guided meditations and breathwork, providing gentle guidance to help participants explore their personal edges or settle more deeply into relaxation. Currently completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Janet Stone, Heather looks forward to weaving yoga practices into this growing community.

With deep Finnish roots and a family who considered the sauna a second living room, Chase has been immersed in sauna culture since before he could walk. Guiding sauna sessions has become a true passion for him—He loves helping people experience the transformative power of heat, breath, and authentic community. Chase's sessions invite you to enjoy uplifting scents, grounding energy, and, for the adventurous, a revitalizing cold plunge. For Chase, sauna is about coming together, letting go, and leaving each session feeling lighter, restored, and more connected than when you arrived.

Marcus began his sauna journey in Germany and Scandinavia, where he discovered a deep appreciation for contrast therapy and the unique rituals of sauna culture. Inspired by the transformative power of these experiences, he set out to build a sauna from scratch and founded Placerville Sauna to share his passion with others. Through his extensive time spent in saunas and cold plunges, Marcus has learned how these practices can push people beyond their comfort zones and into a greater sense of peace and wholeness. Committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment, he strives to help others reset, reconnect, and feel their best by guiding them through thoughtfully curated sauna experiences.
