About us

Inspired by Ashtabula County’s history of sauna bathing (introduced by 19th century Finnish immigrants), and my own experience with sauna and cold water swimming, I’m actively building a business that will bring a contrast therapy (hot and cold) experience to northeast Ohio. Many of the details are still being worked out, but I’m currently enrolled in a sauna business accelerator run by a world-class Finnish sauna builder and experience designer based in Duluth, MN: Cedar and Stone. In the coming months, with guidance from the folks at Cedar and Stone, I’ll be finalizing a site, completing the buildout and welcoming the first visitors. I look forward to welcoming you to Steelhead.
