There's A New Spot In PVD For A Sauna Sesh & It'll Have You Planning A Spa Day

I love taking some time in an infrared sauna, especially if I’ve indulged in too much rich food the day before or I’m just feeling kinda blah.

After a nice, healthy sweat (around 25 to 30 minutes, give or take), I walk out feeling fantastic, so much lighter and refreshed. Feel like it does wonders for my skin too!

There’s also a pretty long list of high profile people who swear by regular sauna sessions - including Gigi and Bella Hadid’s mom Yolanda (formerly of Bravo’s RHOBH franchise), Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Selena Gomez, and Lady Gaga - for relaxing, helping to improve circulation, and yes, giving their metabolism a little boost now and again.

Used to be, though, if you were in the Providence area, these saunas were few and far between.

Well, the great news this year is that my friends over at Emerging Energy Acupuncture at Imperial Place in the Jewelry District (same courtyard as CAV, everyone’s fav combination antique shop and restaurant) now have a gorgeous, state-of-the-art mPulse Infrared Sauna from Sunlighten with soooo many impressive features.

Wanna play some music or a podcast from your smart phone? There’s a bluetooth sound system that lets you do that quickly and easily. You can also adjust the lighting, and you get to choose from 7 different programs (like detoxifying, weight loss, and lots more) to truly customize the entire experience.

The space where EE has their sauna is small but super cute (photo above…note the lovely mural on the side wall that adds a def vacation-y feel). I also ADORE how Dr. Dilks and her team have included so many amenities with every sauna session like plenty of pristine white towels, wraps you can drape yourself in during, drink packets to add to your water (It’s super important to stay hydrated during and after), and cool lavender towels stashed in the adjacent mini fridge (for when you get out and need some chill).

If you’re interested in some warming, wonderful self care this winter, aka, indulging in a sauna sesh at Emerging Energy, book online here. Also, for a limited time, your FIRST visit is 50% off. I mean, what could be better?
