An Older Woman Bathing in. the Sea

The Story of Môr A Sawna

Origin and Evolution

As a child I was always drawn to the sea and loved a variety of water sports.  As a Mum the sea became my sanctuary.  Swimming regularly at my local beaches and creating a space for others to come and join the fun has been incredible.  I have loved sharing the joy and experience with so many people. 

As part of my journey for experiencing cold water highs, such as waterfalls, lakes and as many beaches as possible, I visited and experienced a variety of contrast therapy style facilities.  This inspired me to create Môr A Sawna, allowing those who already use the sea to experience the tranquility and health benefits that a sauna and contrast therapy has to offer.

 

Môr A Sawna is a mobile sauna business that specializes in contrast therapy, offering a unique and convenient sauna experience. Our mobile sauna unit brings the relaxation and health benefits of a sauna directly to customers, in the beautiful surroundings of nature. Situated overlooking a beach, it allows you to enjoy the experience of going from with the sea to the sauna.

Our wood fire burning sauna has comfortable seating, and a glass dome end allowing you to watch the world go by from the tranquillity of the sauna. 

 

Our mobile sauna services are available in Barry, providing a convenient location for customers to enjoy this relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

A sauna not only feels good, it’s good for your body. Whether it’s the physiological changes that occur during the warmth of a sauna, or if it’s simply the time spent in the calming and still retreat of the sauna, every seasoned sauna bather agrees - it feels wonderful! As we progress through our stressful everyday lives, the sauna provides a pampering retreat - where we can relax and restore body and soul. Sauna bathing truly makes you “Feel Better”, “Look Better” and “Sleep Better”!

Health Benefits

Making the most of your time

01

Boost Immunity

As the body is exposed to the heat of a sauna and steam, it produces white blood cells more rapidly, which in turn helps to fight illnesses and helps to kill viruses. In addition, saunas can relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of sinus congestion from colds or allergies.

03

Improves Sleep Quality

Saunas are a simple and effective mechanism to enhance the quality of sleep. It is recommended for people suffering from insomnia. It is estimated that a brief spell of 15-20 minutes spent in a sauna room is almost equal to 1-2 hours of a brisk walk or workout. Using a sauna affects the autonomic nervous system to put you in the parasympathetic (rest and digest) state, which helps you unwind and get a great night’s rest.

02

Alleviates muscle pain and inflammation 

Saunas relax muscles and soothe aches/pains in both muscles and joints. As the body temperature rises in the heat of the sauna, blood vessels dilate allowing for increased blood circulation in the body which causes the stiff muscles to relax. The joints react in a similar way to muscles. The joints in your body may become inflamed from over stimulation or over use. The relaxing and penetrating heat from the sauna will cause the joints to relax. After a few short minutes the inflammation will be reduced, easing pain and stiffness.

04

Fat loss and detoxification

Sweating helps flush the toxins and impurities from your body. But, for most people, our everyday activities don’t generate enough sweat to seriously purge out these unhealthy substances. Sweating also helps flush out heavy metals such as lead, zinc, copper, nickel and mercury that can be absorbed through foods or environmental factors. Detoxification clears out the lymphatic system and helps your body burn fat more effectively, gives you more energy for exercise and can speed up weight loss.
