“My enjoyment of sauna has risen to an even higher level in the past 18 months, with the invention and safety listing of our truly global-ready sauna app for the phone—the SaunaLogic2. My kids and I sauna even more than before due to this simple yet sauna-changing-invention,” comments Mark. He takes pride in being part of an industry that was at one time not even on the radar of most American’s to now becoming a must-have for health, relaxation, and wellness.
