“After conquering my own scepticism, fear, conceptualized ideas and excitement it all just falls away as I’m held and hugged by gentle warmth and touched figuratively and literally by nature itself. The steam and the leaves dance up and down along my body and the pleasure is so much more sensual and sensational than any sauna I have been to. Images of past and present enter my mind, but they move through as having nothing to do with me. After 3 hours going into this womb of deep treatment, I come out emptied, elevated and… happy! This is a spiritual experience.”

“Vihta massage was amazing, and the sauna relaxing. I feel completely rejuvenated & invigorated. Your company was outstanding. Your home and its views and dinner were spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with you. You are very talented. If you ever want help marketing your sauna retreat. I’d love to help.”

“I was lucky enough to take a sauna for the first time with Love during the Førde International Folk Music Festival in July 2024. My goal was to dare to take a sauna for a full two hours and also possibly be exposed to cold water. After one round on Thursday I was hooked and signed up for two rounds on Saturday. It dawned on me that the cold water was my friend. In the weeks after these saunas I used time to get to know my new friend even more. In September, my husband and I travelled to the deep forests and took a sauna again with Love, this time in the sauna paradise he has created. We took a sauna for five hours on Saturday – with alternating heat and cold. And it was with great pleasure that I could experience that I had really become friends with the cold, almost best friends! It was easy to get down in the cold water and let it embrace my hot body. In the sauna, Love used all his knowledge to make the sessions varied and challenging so I got to know my own limits. Love showed us great care and it felt as if I was sitting on my father’s lap. Everything was calm, safe and good. These days in paradise have been the biggest vitamin injection I have experienced. I’m looking forward to the next time!”

“I was sceptical whether this would be something for me, but I like saunas so I went, mostly to support my wife by doing something together that she would really enjoy. I realized quite quickly that Love was a man with positive energy who would make this a great weekend for us. Two minutes alone with Love was enough for me to set myself a goal for the stay. 1. get better in my left ankle 2. make me the best candidate for the job I’ve applied for. After many hours in the sauna where heat, scents, steam and cold challenged me to feel what is happening in my body, I learned to trust that it will all go well. My ankle is much better and I feel confident that I’m a very good candidate for the job I have applied for. I have a lot of energy and am confident in myself.”

“Very intimate experience, lying there half naked but you handle this intimacy discretely and well. I experienced excitement, relaxation, happiness and a load of feelings”
