Sauna for tech-free meditation and relaxation
Patrick Thompson, owner of Patrick Thompson Design, a high-end design studio in Detroit, MI specializing in hospitality, commercial and retail spaces, recently installed an Helo sauna in his basement bathroom adjacent to a fitness area. Read the following testimonial to hear about Patrick’s Helo sauna experience.
- What motivated you to get a sauna in your home?
I had been to a lecture and the speaker emphasized the health benefits of using a sauna daily. I was using the sauna at my health club for the last two years and really wanted the ability to relax in a sauna at my home. - How did you come up with your sauna plan?
I had a limited amount of options due to ceiling heights and exposed pipes from my boiler system in my historic home, so the plan somewhat dictated itself. - How do you use your sauna?
I use it to mediate, relax and for a technology-free getaway. - When do you typically go into the sauna?
Mornings to start our day, after a workout and in the evenings after a long day. We really use it all the time. - What has it meant to you to have a sauna in your home?
I love it. I have always wanted one since I was a kid, both for the function and the beauty. - Why do you have a sauna in your home?
It's our sanctuary, a special treat. - Do you prefer having a sauna by yourself or with someone?
I like both. It's circumstantial. - What were your thoughts about design and materials?
The process was seamless, and the materials are great quality. - Did it turn out the way you had expected?
Yes, it exceeded my expectations.
