Welcome to The Wellness Journal.
I'm so happy you're here.
I'm Sienna, a licensed esthetician, spa owner, mama, and wellness enthusiast who's always looking for simple ways to bring a little more peace into a busy life.
If you're anything like me, you spend a lot of time taking care of everyone else. My hope is that while you're here, you'll feel inspired to make a little more room to take care of yourself, too.
So, grab your favorite drink, get cozy, and let's dive in.
Are Infrared Saunas Really Worth It?
If you've been thinking about buying an infrared sauna, you've probably asked yourself this question.
"Are they really worth it?"
My short answer?
Yes.
My honest answer?
It's one of the best investments I've ever made, but probably not for the reasons you think.
It Started as Something for My Day Spa
When I decided to add an infrared sauna with Himalayan salt to my day spa, I was excited for my clients.
I thought it would be another beautiful wellness experience for them to enjoy.
What I didn't expect was how much I would end up using it myself.
Around the spa, we call the sauna room The Zen Den.
And honestly... the name couldn't be more perfect.
If I have an unexpected cancellation, you'll probably find me in the Zen Den.
If I have a massage scheduled, I love warming up beforehand.
And after a long Saturday, when the last client has gone home, the lights are low, and the spa is finally quiet, that's my favorite time to slip inside before heading home.
Some people have a favorite chair.
I have a favorite room.
The Zen Den has become my little reset button.
It Helped Me Take Care of Me
I've spent more than twenty years helping people feel beautiful, confident, and relaxed.
I love what I do.
But somewhere along the way, I realized something.
I was really good at reminding everyone else to take care of themselves.
I wasn't nearly as good at taking care of me.
As women, especially moms and business owners, we wear a lot of hats.
We take care of our families.
Our clients.
Our homes.
Our businesses.
By the end of the day, there's often very little left for ourselves.
Buying my sauna changed that.
Now, instead of answering one more email or finding one more thing to clean, I sometimes choose twenty quiet minutes in the Zen Den.
Funny enough, buying an infrared sauna didn't just improve my wellness routine.
It reminded me that I deserve one.
And here's the beautiful part...
I'm a better mom, a better spa owner, and a better version of myself because I finally learned that taking care of me isn't selfish.
It's necessary.
What Is an Infrared Sauna?
Unlike a traditional sauna that heats the air around you, an infrared sauna uses infrared heat to gently warm your body.
Many people find the lower temperatures more comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy longer sessions.
Mine also has beautiful Himalayan salt panels, and I absolutely love the warm, peaceful feeling they add to the room.
It's cozy.
It's calming.
It has truly become one of my favorite places to be.
Is an Infrared Sauna Worth the Investment?
For me, absolutely.
Not because it's trendy.
Not because it's beautiful, although it certainly is.
Because of how it makes me feel.
Calmer.
Clearer.
More present.
Sometimes my best ideas come while I'm sitting quietly in the sauna.
Other times, I simply enjoy doing absolutely nothing.
And if you're a busy mom, you already know that twenty uninterrupted minutes of peace feels a little like winning the lottery. 😊
A Few Things I'd Tell a Friend
If we were sitting together over coffee, here's what I'd tell you.
Buy the best quality you can comfortably afford.
Choose a sauna that fits the way you want to use it, not just the number of people it seats.
And if your budget and space allow it...
Consider sizing up.
Here's why.
I absolutely love my infrared sauna with Himalayan salt.
Would I buy it again?
In a heartbeat.
But I have to admit...
I've completely fallen in love with the larger luxury model that's featured here on my website.
Not because there's anything wrong with mine.
I just know I'd love the extra room to stretch out after a long day.
A girl can dream, right? 😉
Why I Started Sienna Wellness Co.
People sometimes assume I started this business because I wanted to sell wellness equipment.
The truth is much simpler.
I wanted to create a place where people could discover products that genuinely improve everyday life.
Every item you'll find in The Collection has been thoughtfully curated because it's something I either use, truly believe in, or hope to have in my own wellness space one day.
If I wouldn't recommend it to my family or my favorite clients, it doesn't belong here.
✨ Sienna's Tip
One of the best things I ever did was stop treating self-care like something I had to earn.
Now, when life gets busy, I don't wait for the perfect day.
If I have a little time between clients, I head to the Zen Den.
Twenty quiet minutes can completely change the rest of my day.
If you've ever dreamed of creating a space that helps you slow down, whether it's in your home or somewhere else that's special to you, I hope you give yourself permission to create it.
You deserve a place that helps you refill your own cup.
Explore The Collection
If you're dreaming about creating your own wellness sanctuary, I'd love to help.
Every product in The Collection has been carefully selected for its craftsmanship, timeless design, and ability to bring a little more peace into everyday life.
Thank you so much for spending a little time with me here in The Wellness Journal.
My hope is that you leave feeling inspired, encouraged, and reminded that taking care of yourself isn't selfish. It's one of the greatest gifts you can give to the people who love you most.
Until next time,
Sienna 💚
