Massage That Brings You Back to Balance
At Sauna House, integrative massage is offered as intentional recovery, not indulgence. Steady, focused touch helps release tension and guide the nervous system back into balance. Here in the Nordic spa, it also acts as a powerful complement to your contrast therapy practice — allowing heat, cold, rest, and touch to work together so you leave feeling more renewed, more restored, and ready to meet life with clarity.
Our Signature Massage
Why a Sauna House Massage?
Massage at Sauna House is rooted in purposeful simplicity: one style, one length, one intentional experience.
After your massage, you’ll have two hours to enjoy our saunas, cold plunges, and Galanter & Jones heated lounge furniture - included with every massage.
Whether you’re booking a couples massage or independently enjoying the bathhouse atmosphere of calm connection and social rest, we hope for every visit to feel both grounding and expansive — so you can walk away a little lighter in body and clearer in mind. Whether you’re here for a couples massage or a solo visit to the bathhouse, our goal is the same: that every experience is easy and leaves you feeling grounded.

Our signature massage is an extension of the bathhouse’s restorative atmosphere and a treatment that reflects our “balance-through-opposites” mantra. Expect firm, relevant touch delivered in a welcoming space. Every session is a full 60 minutes of deep tissue massage work with other massage techniques by an intuitive therapist.

If you’re looking to make massage a regular part of your wellness routine, our Monthly Massage Membership is an intentional, high-value way to do that. For a price similar to one typical “hour-long” (often just 50 minutes) massage at many spas, you get:
- One 60-minute weekday deep tissue massage per month
- Two hours of same-day bathhouse access included
- Three extra bathhouse visits each month
- 15% off beverages and retail
- 10% off all massage services
- Additional discounted bathhouse visits
Tips are not included in your massage booking rate, and are customary. For guidance, a gratuity of 15–25% is typical for massage services and can be added at checkout.
After any massage, it’s important to hydrate, rest, and give your body time to absorb the benefits. At Sauna House, your visit includes two hours of bathhouse access after your massage — the perfect way to support your body post-session.
We recommend starting gently: move into the sauna to encourage circulation, then take a plunge to ease inflammation and re-energize the body. Alternating between hot and cold after massage helps lock in the benefits, reducing soreness, speeding recovery, and leaving you with a calmer, clearer state of mind.
We ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your massage. This helps us honor our team’s time and offer the spot to another guest.
Late cancellations (within 24 hours) may result in a fee.
Deep tissue massage uses slower, more targeted pressure to release chronic muscle tension and work through deeper layers of fascia. Swedish massage focuses on relaxation with gentle, flowing strokes that calm the nervous system. Integrative massage blends both approaches, along with other modalities, to create a customized session tailored to your unique needs.
At Sauna House, our professional massage therapists focus on integrative massage therapy because it complements the intentional intensity of contrast therapy. Just like sauna and cold plunge work to activate circulation and balance the nervous system, this type of massage engages the body on a deeper level, helping you integrate those shifts into a more complete recovery.
When searching for a massage, look for clarity and simplicity in what’s offered, licensed and experienced therapists, and a space that feels welcoming rather than intimidating or overly clinical. Be cautious of places that upsell with long menus of add-ons or don’t clearly communicate session length.
At Sauna House, we’ve found that the massage therapy comes in one thoughtful format: a full 60 minutes with a skillful, licensed Sauna House massage therapist in a space designed for comfort and calm, paired with bathhouse access to extend your recovery.
Just a swimsuit for your time in the bathhouse — we’ll handle the rest! Fresh linens, clean towels, nourishing oils made in-house, and access to showers and changing spaces are all provided. You’re welcome to bring a water bottle or bathhouse slides if that feels most comfortable, but otherwise simply come as you are and settle in.
You’ll always have two hours to enjoy the bathhouse after a massage — and that’s by design. Using the sauna, cold plunge, and rest areas post-massage helps extend the benefits of bodywork by boosting circulation, easing recovery, and deepening your nervous system reset.
Showers are available beforehand if you’d like to rinse off before your session.
Massage is generally safe and beneficial, but it’s not the right fit for everyone. Guests must be 18 or older to book a massage, and we do not currently offer prenatal massage.
If you're pregnant, managing a health condition, or recovering from an injury, we recommend checking in with your provider to make sure deep tissue work is the right choice for you. Our sessions are designed to support rest and recovery — and that starts with listening to your body.
Yes! All Sauna House gift cards can be used toward massage services, memberships, bathhouse visits, or anything in our retail shop. It's a simple way to share rest, care, and the rituals that support both.
