Our Story

A couple sitting on a boat, smiling and laughing during a rainy day near a riverside village with boats and houses in the background.

Hello Heat Seekers,

We are Milly and Tom, Owners of The Heat Retreat

We’ve always been drawn to the natural world because nature has a way of grounding us, slowing us down, and reminding us what really matters. Studying zoology gave us a deep appreciation for how connected everything is, and that sense of connection sits at the heart of what we do now.

Tom found his calling in carpentry, working with his hands to create thoughtful, welcoming spaces rooted in nature. I followed a path through marine biology, developing a deep love for water and its ability to calm, restore, and heal.

Saunas have long been a sanctuary for us, a place to reset, breathe, and feel good in both body and mind. We’ve experienced how powerful heat, water, and stillness can be for mental health, and we wanted to create a space where others could experience that too.

Together, we’ve built more than a sauna. We’ve created a place for community, connection, and those small, meaningful moments of calm that help you feel a little more like yourself again.

Stay Warm, Stay Well x
