How it started and where it’s going

My name is Liam Neville, and I am the founder of Wake Sauna, your mobile health and wellness business. Wake Sauna combines the health benefits of deliberate heat exposure through a traditional Finnish sauna with its natural opposite, deliberate cold exposure through a cold plunge; a technique also known as contrast therapy.

I’m just an average guy who had a good friend, and I want to share how I became passionate about this practice. It all began in 2021 when I was living in Ireland. A friend invited me to go cold water swimming in the ocean during the depths of winter. I initially thought he was crazy, but he persistently encouraged me to try it. Weeks later, I finally mustered the courage to join him. That day on the rocky beach of Lahinch, Co. Clare, marked the beginning of my fascination with cold exposure, and I haven’t stopped since. The experience was simultaneously thrilling and peaceful, with profoundly positive impacts on my physical and mental health, particularly in alleviating my anxiety and depression.

Intrigued by the science behind these effects, I dove into the available research and discovered the work of Andrew Huberman, Ph.D. I recognized the value of his research on hot and cold therapy, especially his clear and safe instructions. At Wake Sauna, we aim to create the ideal environment for our customers and recommend following Huberman's guidance and protocols in practice.

Research has shown that deliberate cold exposure can enhance metabolism, improve cardiovascular and brain health, balance hormones, and reduce inflammation. Sauna use has been shown to decrease cortisol levels and activate DNA repair and longevity pathways, as highlighted by Dr. Susanna Søberg. Combining hot and cold therapy, as supported by studies, is beneficial for metabolism, cardiovascular and brain health, hormonal balance, and inflammation reduction.

Our state-of-the-art mobile sauna and cold plunge offer convenience, affordability, flexibility, and privacy compared to treatment at a public gym or club.

What began as a personal journey to improve my own health and wellness has evolved into a mission to share this natural healing method with as many people as possible. Join me on this journey and reserve your experience today!
