Real Moments You Can Feel
Research shows that shared warmth — without screens, without rushing — is one of the most effective ways families reconnect. Here’s what that looks like at home.
For Parents & Kids
The sauna that taught my daughter to slow down. No phones, no noise — just warmth, a funny hat, and conversation that happens naturally. Children who sauna regularly show improved emotional regulation and lower cortisol levels.
For Couples
20 minutes, no agenda. Just the two of you. The heat does something talking can’t always do it relaxes the body first, then the mind. Couples who share a weekly sauna ritual report feeling more connected with each other.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions

EXCELLENT Based on 106 reviews Posted on Google Yvonne RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Big thank you to all the staff at Shym Saunas. We brought a sauna from them back in November last year and Art installed it for us. It was a smooth process from start to finish and since its installation we have been really enjoying the benefits of the sauna post our open water swims. Originally we thought we would just use it in the sholder seasons and winter, but we actually used it throughout summer as well! We are lucky to have some swimming friends who come back to our place to enjoy the sauna post swim and sharing it with friends enable us to all enjoy some great conversations. Would definitely recommend Shym Saunas to anyone comtemplating a sauna!Posted on Google Chris & Sally PullinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shym sauna did all they promised, the kit was kinda fun to assemble, now l have the luxury of a sauna in my back garden. I would now recommend Shym Sauna to anyone wishing for a good sauna purchase experiencePosted on Google gaurang kelaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From initial consultation to final setup, everything was handled professionally. They helped me choose the right sauna and accessories without overselling, which I really appreciated. The project stayed on schedule and the end result looks amazing in my backyard.Posted on Google NegarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience overall.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable team.Posted on Google Ashish PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing Product.Posted on Google Peter BullTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am extremely happy with my square sauna and the service I received. I found Shym Saunas to be very knowledgeable and helpful in assisting me to find the most suitable sauna for my personal situation. They helped me along the way and I highly recommend this family run business.Posted on Google Steve BaldwinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently bought and built a Patio S sauna supplied by Shym saunas, together with a Humm Hive woodfired stove. I couldn't be happier with the end result. The whole process with the team at Shym was amazing, all the questions I had were answered promptly, from lighting, building and shipping questions to the mundane.. "what sealant should I use" I enjoyed building it too! Like a really big IKEA kit but way better quality!Posted on Google Ezra ArtmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shym provided us with a high-quality sauna that we are LOVING, and communication was great through the whole process!Posted on Google John WortleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks Eunice and Art for their great correspondence and advice for purchasing our Cube sauna which fit perfectly in the backyard. The quality of the sauna is fabulous; we enjoy it every time we get in it - almost everyday. Communication was A+ and worked with us to ensure we had all the right information before we ordered and before we took delivery of the sauna; the delivery is a flat pack and i would advise if you can get the sauna delivered to a local depot near you and hire a trailer to pick it up (8*5 is needed for Serenity Round Cube Mini Thermo-Treated Spruce Sauna 2m - which weighed around 900kg)
