Step into a restorative 90-minute session designed to soothe your body and reset your mind. This self-guided experience focuses on contrast therapy, alternating between hot and cold modalities including our traditional sauna, aroma steam room, heated mineral spa and cold plunge pools to awaken the senses, support recovery, and promote deep relaxation.
Whether you're looking to unwind after a busy week or build regular restoration into your routine, our bathhouse helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support better sleep. The calm, sensory-rich space invites you to slow down, reconnect, and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded.
Recommended weekly for lasting benefits.
How It Works
What should I wear?
- We recommend wearing comfortable, light clothing (such as yoga or exercise gear) to your session.
What should I bring?
- Bring your bathers, a drink bottle and you are welcome to bring thongs or slides to use in the wet areas.
- Please bring your own towel.
- You may wish to bring an extra bag for your wet clothes.
- All shower products are supplied.
- While we don’t provide complementary towels at EQ, you’re welcome to rent one for $5 if needed.
When should I arrive?
- Please arrive to your booked session 5 minutes early. This will allow you enough time to check in and use the facilities prior to your session start time, ensuring a smooth and seamless experience for you and all other guests. If you are more than 10 minutes late, unfortunately you will need to forfeit your session.
Accessing EQ
*You will receive a text message 2 hours before your session with an access code and instructions on how to enter EQ.
What if I'm pregnant?
- If you are pregnant, we ask that you speak with your health professional including your GP, medical specialist, or obstetrician to help you decide whether EQ is appropriate for you. If you are unsure, we ask that you avoid attending EQ until you have had the opportunity to obtain medial clearance from your health professional. Unfortunately, if you are pregnant you cannot participate in the bathing modalities, as they are well above body temperature, and common advice around pregnancy and extreme temperatures (spas, saunas, steam rooms, and cold plunges) is to avoid them.
