Who We Are
Our Sauna
The Traveling Sauna is San Diego’s only luxury wood-fired mobile sauna, bringing the time-honored practice of thermal therapy—the intentional use of heat and cold for recovery, resilience, and well-being—into a modern, accessible experience. Rooted in thermoculture, this practice has been embraced by cultures around the world for centuries, supporting circulation, detoxification, and deep relaxation.
Inspired by the tranquil stillness of the forest, our sauna, Eevi—is designed to recreate the deep sense of calm found in nature. Handcrafted with expert woodworking, Eevi offers an authentic Finnish-style experience with wood-fired heat, soft steam, and the grounding aroma of cedar. To complete the contrast therapy cycle, we offer Lumi, our cold plunge—which invigorates the body, reduces inflammation, and strengthens the nervous system.
For an added layer of restoration, we’ve created a wellness nook, featuring red light therapy to support recovery and skincare amenities to complement your sauna session. Whether you’re looking to boost circulation, promote skin health, or simply take a moment for yourself, this space is designed for intentional self-care.
Meet the Owners
I’m Leah, the founder of The Traveling Sauna. As a holistic health practitioner, I’ve spent years guiding others toward better health, but my own journey is what led me here. Struggling with chronic health challenges, I discovered that thermal therapy was one of the most powerful ways to regulate stress, improve circulation, and feel more grounded. But finding a sauna experience that was truly restorative and accessible felt nearly impossible. I wanted more than a quick sweat—I wanted a space to breathe, slow down, and reconnect. So, I created The Traveling Sauna to bring that experience to others, making wellness simple and meaningful.
Mike, my husband and biggest supporter, shares this passion for health and well-being. He was drawn to sauna as a way to decompress and recharge—a ritual that quickly became an essential part of his own routine. While I run the day-to-day, Mike is always there behind the scenes—tending the fire, supporting events, and helping make each experience seamless.
Together, we believe that sauna is more than just heat—it’s a way to reconnect. The Traveling Sauna was created to bring the peace and grounding energy of the forest right here to San Diego, offering a space to immerse yourself in natural elements without having to leave the city. Whether you’re stepping into the warmth for the first time or it’s already part of your wellness routine, we’re excited to share this experience with you.
