As as 'Finn' living in the UK, the importance of authentic sauna culture was ingrained in Arlene's DNA. Linking her passion for cold water immersion, nature, and surfing, with her background as an artist, Arlene's enthusiasm for saunas and innovation crossed the ocean and landed here in Dorset.
With a doctorate in the field of wellbeing, and a founder of a non-profit social group, the importance of bringing people together is rooted in Sam's philosophy. After taking a 'sauna odyssey' through Europe, he saw the benefits of authentic Nordic bathing for social belonging and everyday wellness.
Sharing Arlene's vision, the couple teamed up to create a Nordic experience that would draw on contemporary global practices. Together, they believe in the power of connection with place, others, and the self, to meet modern needs. The result is The Saltwater Sauna.
