Hi, I’m Kirsty Carver.

Founder, Sauna Master & Sauna enthusiast. 

Since moving to Portobello in 2011, the beach has become a place of joy, laughter, and peaceful solitude for me and my family. We’re constantly reminded how lucky we are to live by the sea.

When I started sea swimming, I found a new way to enjoy this beautiful place, and it quickly became a shared experience with old friends and new ones alike. For me, it’s not just about the health benefits of cold water swimming, but the fun, the joy, and the community that came with it.

Sauna has brought me the same sense of connection. My love for sauna started during a stay in Iceland, where I first experienced the incredible and core deep warmth, the ritual of the heat and cold, the feeling of being truly present. It was more than just relaxation - it was a moment of pure joy and deep connection with others which I needed. 

At Soul Water Sauna, we've created space to share these experiences with others.

Whether it's through the deep heat, a sauna ritual or a dip in the North Sea, it's about feeling good, recharging, reconnecting and enjoying simple, meaningful moments with friends and family.

For us, sauna is about being present, having fun, and embracing the moment - no matter what's happening in the world around you. We look forward to sharing this piece of sauna magic with you.
