Experience the power of Hot & Cold Therapy
Contrast therapy involves alternating between periods of hot and cold temperatures. This allows you to maximize both benefits. When applied correctly and together, you can get even more benefits to help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, detoxify, and speed up the healing process. We recommend:
Hot and Cold Therapy
15 - 20 min Sauna, 1 - 5 min Cold Plunge, 10 min Rest. Repeat.
Registered Massage Therapy
When you book any massage treatment, you are welcome to use the Hot and Cold amenities for up to one hour after your service. This includes, sauna, cold plunge and red light therapy. We also offer, shower, towel, robe and slipper service and a complimentary tea lounge.
Got benefits? Get luxury.
We are excited to welcome you.
Please bring your bathing suit and we will take care of the rest. We have a water and tea station, complimentary robe, towel and slipper service and free on-site parking at the rear of the building at Dundas and Charlotte St. If the lot is full, there is also free street parking on Charlotte St.
If you have booked a massage followed by 1 hour use of the Hot and Cold amenities, including sauna, cold plunge and red light therapy, you are welcome to bring a guest to join you for your amenity time for just $20, if you don't want to take the plunge alone. We will ring this up separately at the time of use, so that your massage receipt is not complicated. Please reach out to hotandcoldmicrospa@gmail.com and let us know that you'd like to "add a friend" and provide their name and email and we will be able to save time and have their waiver filled out ahead of time.
Our cold plunge is generally set to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. (50 - 60 degrees is suggested for beginners) Please let us know if you'd like to request the tub temperature to be adjusted and we will do our best to accommodate.
We have an information book onsite, but our general suggestion is to use the sauna for 15 -20 minutes, take a 1-5 minute cold plunge and then rest or stretch for 5- 10 minutes and repeat. We have yoga mats and some weights available for use.
Our spa is semi-private, in that you will have exclusive use of the amenities during your booked time, however we may be serving other clients in our shared spaces, and they may need access to the washroom, etc., so we do ask that you wear your swimsuit in the amenities. Our front door automatically locks behind you for privacy and security, and we have privacy curtains that you are welcome to adjust to your liking.
Please reach out if you have any questions and remember to relax and enjoy!
