Infrared Sauna
Infrared saunas promote relaxation by relieving sore muscles and lowering stress levels. They assist in detoxification by removing toxins and enhancing circulation for improved cardiovascular health.
Infrared Sauna
Experience Deep Relaxation with Soothing Infrared Heat
What is an Infrared Sauna?
Unlike a traditional sauna, an infrared sauna uses gentle infrared heat to warm your body directly rather than simply heating the air around you. This creates a comfortable, deeply warming experience at a lower temperature, making it easier for many people to relax and enjoy their session.
Many people choose infrared sauna therapy to unwind after a busy day, prepare muscles before a massage, or simply enjoy quiet time to relax and recharge.
Located in our peaceful treatment room at Etherealness Massage Therapy on the Black Isle, our infrared sauna provides a private, calming space where you can step away from the demands of everyday life.
Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy
Regular infrared sauna sessions may help you to:
✔ Relax both body and mind
✔ Ease everyday muscular aches and stiffness
✔ Warm tight muscles before massage
✔ Promote healthy circulation
✔ Support post-exercise recovery
✔ Encourage restful sleep
✔ Reduce feelings of stress and tension
✔ Create valuable time for self-care
✔ Leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised
What to Expect During Your Session
When you arrive, I'll explain how everything works before leaving you to enjoy complete privacy during your session.
The infrared sauna gently warms your body as you relax in a peaceful environment. The session is yours to enjoy however you choose. Listen to your favourite music or podcast through the sauna's Bluetooth speaker, meditate, practise mindful breathing or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.
You can also personalise the atmosphere by choosing whether to have the therapeutic mood lighting on or off, creating an environment that feels most relaxing and comfortable for you.
Fresh drinking water is available throughout your visit. If you're combining your sauna with a massage, you're welcome to enjoy a complimentary refreshing shower before your treatment, please remember to bring your own towel, spa slippers are provided to wear between the sauna, shower and treatment room.
The gentle warmth from the infrared sauna helps prepare your muscles before your massage, allowing you to begin your treatment feeling relaxed, comfortable and ready to get the most from your session.

FAQ's
What should I bring to my infrared sauna session?
Wear whatever feels comfortable. Most clients wear swimwear or lightweight clothing suitable for a private sauna session.
If you're combining your infrared sauna with a massage, a quick shower before your treatment is required to rinse away perspiration after your sauna session. This helps ensure you feel fresh and comfortable and allows massage oils to be applied more effectively. Please bring comfortable clothing for after your session and your own towel to use after the complimentary shower.
Fresh drinking water is provided throughout your visit, and if you'd like to listen to your favourite music or podcast during your session, simply bring your smartphone to connect to the sauna's Bluetooth speaker.
How hot does the infrared sauna get?
Infrared saunas operate at lower temperatures than traditional saunas while still providing a deeply warming experience, making them comfortable for many people.
How much water should I drink?
We recommend drinking water before and after your session to stay well hydrated.
Can I use the sauna before my massage?
Yes. Many clients enjoy warming their muscles before their massage, helping them feel relaxed before treatment begins.
Is an infrared sauna suitable for everyone?
Infrared saunas aren't suitable for everyone. If you're pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or have concerns about using heat therapy, please seek advice from your GP or healthcare professional before booking.
How often can I use an infrared sauna?
Many people enjoy sessions once or twice a week, although this varies depending on your personal preferences and overall health.
