Those who find themselves alternating cold water dip with steaming in a sauna at Willows Beach can thank Amy Winters for the inspiration.

When first started dating his now-wife Winters, she wanted a sauna.

B次元官网网址淚 looked to rent one and there was none available B次元官网网址 it wasnB次元官网网址檛 really a common thing,B次元官网网址 the founder of Wildwood Saunas explained.

So he built one.

She suggested it would be cool on a trailer and he thought B次元官网网址渢hatB次元官网网址檚 a good idea, but itB次元官网网址檚 crazy.B次元官网网址

Two years later, Dupuis changed his mind, and now parks the portable sauna on the Esplanade adjacent to an Oak Bay beach frequently populated by cold-water dippers.

Dupuis enjoys the benefits of the cold-water swim juxtaposed with a spell in the sauna.

B次元官网网址淚t makes me feel good. It clears my mind after a hard day. ItB次元官网网址檚 a reset,B次元官网网址 he said.

The Wildwood trailer saunas seat six to eight folks and appear most weekends at Willows. Usage started off on a drop-in basis, but shifted to a prebook system.

Naturally, based on that early experience of looking to rent one, residents across the region can also book the travelling saunas for home or venues.

B次元官网网址淚 thought it would be cool to offer the same benefits B次元官网网址 bring the sauna to them,B次元官网网址 Dupuis said.
