First time coming to Gentle Recovery, and the experience was truly unique. I did the infrared sauna and cold bath and left feeling like I was on cloud 9! Returning to do the triple and bringing a pal so they can experience it too! Excellent service and great space. Thanks, Jen.

Beautiful Sunday rest and re-set with gentle recovery- Jen on the front desk was so lovely and informative about all the treatments she couldn’t of been more helpful! Feeling brand new after I fared sauna and ice bath, it will be my new Sunday ritual 😆

Really enjoyed our experience,had a good chat with Bran the owner about heat and cold water therapy before starting and he gave us some solid advice. As for the set up it was a nice private,clean and calming experience. We’ll definitely be back!
