Meraki Health
sauna & plunge waiver


At Meraki Health, our priority is to create a safe, calm environment where you can fully experience the restorative benefits of a traditional Finnish sauna and cold plunge therapy. Contrast therapy is designed to reduce inflammation, boost energy levels, enhance recovery, support immune function, and aid in fat burning.

Before using the sauna and cold plunge, each customer is required to sign a waiver confirming agreement to the following points:

Noise Levels

Loud noises, including screaming when entering the cold plunge or excessive loud talking, are prohibited. A Bluetooth speaker is provided for your enjoyment; however, please keep the volume at a considerate level. Failure to comply with our noise policy may result in being asked to leave.

Session Duration

You must adhere to your session's allotted timeframe. Your session duration, which includes time for showering and changing, are as follows:

  • A 50 minute slot for the sauna and cold plunge

  • A 30 minute slot for the sauna

  • A 20 minute slot for the cold plunge

Note: If you have purchased a session for 2 people, the shower and changing area is shared. You must be comfortable using these facilities in the presence of the other person.

Hygiene

You MUST shower before and between sessions in the sauna and plunge. Dry off before entering the sauna.

Health and Medical Concerns

  • You confirm you are free from any medical conditions that may be adversely affected by heat or cold therapy.

  • You agree it is your own responsibility to consult with your healthcare provider before using our facilities if you are taking any medication or have any health conditions or concerns, especially if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, or diabetes.

  • We do not recommend using the sauna or cold plunge therapy if you are pregnant, as the extreme temperatures may not be suitable. Please consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance.

  • If you are using Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) you acknowledge that heat exposure may increase oestrogen release, potentially leading to hormonal imbalances. We recommend using the sauna and cold plunge on the day you change your HRT patch to minimise these effects.

  • Only guests aged 16 and over are allowed to use these facilities. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian during their session.

  • You acknowledge the risks associated with extreme heat and cold temperatures, which may include but are not limited to dehydration, elevated heart rate, hypothermia, shock to the respiratory system, and potential skin reactions. It is crucial to listen to your body’s signals and not push beyond your limits. If at any point you feel overly hot, cold, dizzy, or uncomfortable in any way, discontinue the use of the facilities immediately to prevent overheating or overcooling, which can lead to serious health complications.
