Hello, this is Black Swan Sauna.
Hi, I’m Lexy, the founder of Black Swan Sauna. I’ve always had a deep interest in wellbeing and over the years, while I thought I was investing in my health with regular acupuncture, eating what I thought was healthy, and regularly exercising, it wasn’t until my own health began to decline in 2022 that I truly started seeking answers beyond the conventional medical system. In my quest to improve my health, I dived into learning more about heat therapy and saunas, nutrition, holistic therapies, the environmental factors that impact our health and the importance of regular positive social connections. I became Outdoor First Aid trained and began leading free women’s hikes and wild camps while living in Devon. Saunas have always been a treat for me, but as I began using them regularly, I noticed some incredible changes. My sleep dramatically improved, my skin became healthier, my body felt detoxed both inside and out and I started to meet like-minded people during my sessions. The health benefits of regular sauna use go far beyond just relaxation. According to a recent study conducted over 20 years with more than 2,000 Finnish sauna users, heat therapy has been shown to improve cardiovascular fitness, increase heart rate resilience , support insulin sensitivity, regulate blood sugar and blood pressure, and boost endorphin production, leading to that natural high we all crave! The name Black Swan Sauna is inspired by my previous home near Dawlish, a town famous for its large population of black swans. Now that I’ve moved to Wiltshire, I wanted to bring the transformative experience I’ve gained to others in a space that promotes wellbeing, and I couldn’t have wished for a better partner location than Glove Factory Studios. Here, you can relax in the sauna whilst enjoying the full panoramic countryside views, dip in the lake or use one of the plunge pools, take a walk before or after a session, and enjoy the high-quality, delicious food served in the Wild Herb Café at The Field Kitchen.
