Frequently asked questions
Can I bring a friend?
Yes you can bring a friend. Both of our contrast therapy rooms can accommodate up to two people. We charge an additional $40 per person per session.
What is contrast therapy?
Contrast therapy is the alternating of extremes of hot and cold temperatures. At Hana this involves going between an infrared sauna set at around 70 degrees C, and an ice bath set around 6 degrees C.
What is the difference between concessions and memberships?
- Concessions come in packs of 5, 10 or 20 sessions are a great option if you want to save money and need flexibility with how often you use the treatments. They have fixed expiry dates of 3, 6 and 12 months respectively.
- Memberships are our most cost effective option but require a minimum 3 month commitment to come every week. If you are working on a specific health goal, memberships are recommended.
Who should be careful using a sauna & ice bath?
If you have cardiovascular issues, please consult your doctor before using our contrast therapy treatments. Contrast therapy is also unsuitable in pregnancy.
What should I wear?
Our contrast therapy rooms are private so you can wear whatever you feel most comfortable in, whether that is a swimsuit or nothing at all.
How is the ice bath cleaned?
Our two ice baths have different sanitising systems. For our cedar wrapped tub, we use a dead sea mineral mix and the tub has a self-sanitising system. For our large ice bath, we use hydrogen peroxide.
At our Parnell space, our custom built ice baths utilise hydrogen peroxide and ozone filtration to stay clean.
How long should I spend in the sauna?
We recommend spending 15 to 20 minutes in the sauna, before showering and plunging into the ice bath. Then repeat! You have the session for a total of 60 minutes so play around with what feels best for you.
How long should I spend in the ice bath?
It is up to you how long you spend in the ice bath. We recommend between 1 and 5 minutes, before drying off and hopping back into the sauna.
Can I bring my child/teenager to Hana for contrast therapy?
We have a minimum age requirement of 16 to be able to use our contrast rooms. However, we accept 12 to 15 year olds attending a session with a parent or guardian with the understanding that the parent or guardian is responsible for ensuring the child is supervised at all times, and is not in the sauna or ice bath for longer than they can comfortably handle. For children under the age of 12, they must be supervised by a parent or guardian AND have a referral from their health practitioner.
Can I bring my child to hang out at Hana?
We consider Hana to be a child-free space, to allow our clients the opportunity to fully disconnect. We understand that child care arrangements can be difficult at times, but we appreciate that you consider our other clients during these circumstances, and do not bring your children to Hana.
What is your cancellation policy?
As cancellations have a significant impact on our business, we need to enforce our cancellation policy and we trust you understand our need to do so.
Please give us as much notice as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule your booking. This can be done via our booking system. If a booking is rescheduled or cancelled more than 12 hours before your session time, the service will be credited to your account for use at a later date. If a booking is rescheduled within 12 hours of your appointment or you do not show up, you will be charged in full as if you had attended the session.
