CHOOSE ANY PRACTITIONER for online booking. Unlike traditional hot, steamy, and hard to breathe in saunas, modern infrared saunas harness the power of invisible light. They offer a distinctive and relaxing twist to the traditional sauna experience. Instead of steam or flame-stoked heat, infrared saunas use infrared lamps and electromagnetic magic to create warmth. The process allows infrared saunas to operate at a lower temperature while helping to eliminate toxins and support healing.

(Infrared!) Sauna Saturdays

Infrared saunas generate heat through a high concentration of infrared light waves that penetrate the skin, warming the body directly. This process triggers sweating and elevates your heart rate, mimicking the effects of physical exercise. Saunas are a great way to detoxify, promote recovery, boost immunity, and support overall health. Packages available.

Ali Buzzeo

Ali Buzzeo holds a Masters in Acupuncture from the New England School of Acupuncture at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, as well as a Masters in Psychology from New York University.

While working as a child behavioral therapist, Ali observed that patients responded more effectively to sensory therapies than traditional psychoanalytic methods, which led her to explore holistic healing and energy medicine.

“I started to recognize the body as a gateway to regulating the nervous system, which sparked my interest in energy medicine and acupuncture.”

Ali helps patients find emotional and physical balance through acupuncture, rooted in mind-body connection. Her approach combines spirituality, psychology, and energy medicine. In addition to anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges, Ali treats both acute and chronic pain, insomnia, and digestive disorders.
