Stick & Stone Wellness

The glamorous side of owning a mobile sauna business. 😂

Everyone sees the sauna, the steam, the cold plunge, the cozy vibes…

Meanwhile, Sarah and I are:
🫠 Up early as f**k
🪜 Climbing ladders
💪 Wrestling ratchet straps
👶🏼 Dragging our kids all over
🚚 Hauling, loading & packing it all back up

All so you can have your hot little sweat session 😅

What if your Sunday reset wasn’t another chore but an experience that actually helped you slow down?

Join us for a guided forest bathing experience (by ANFT certified hosts Stick & Stone) followed by hammock sound bath in the woods. We’ll begin with a mindful walk with invitations and tea ceremony to help you connect with the forested then settle into suspended hammocks (provided) as you’re immersed in the calming sounds of crystal singing bowls and other therapeutic instruments.

No meditation or forest bathing experience is needed. No pressure to “do it right.” Just an invitation to rest, breathe, and let the forest do what it does best.

If you’ve been searching for forest bathing, sound baths, or unique wellness experiences in nature in Rochester, this is for you.

There’s something special about getting to be the guests for a change.

We (Shannon and Sarah) took a day trip to KOS Sauna in Saratoga Springs, and it was exactly what we needed. We talked the whole drive, sweated in their beautiful wood-fired sauna, plunged into the lake (again and again), read on the top deck, and left feeling more connected than when we arrived.

As co-owners of Stick & Stone, we intentionally make time to nurture our friendship outside the day-to-day of running a business. Those moments of rest and honest conversation make us better partners, and ultimately help us create better experiences for our own community.

We also believe that supporting other sauna businesses helps grow sauna culture as a whole. Every sauna has its own personality, and it was such a joy to meet Kate and experience the beautiful space she’s created as Kōs.

✨If you’re up for a wellness road trip, Kōs generously shared a gift for our community: use code SharingIsCaring to bring a friend for free!

If you make the trip, let us know; we’d love to hear what you think. Tag your sauna buddy who needs a road trip 🔻

Our last Forest Bathing, Tea Cermony, and Sound Bath with Brett Richardson and Crystal Core Vortex sold out in days, and we LOVED setting up this experience for people to notice, rest and receive.

We’re getting ready for round 2 on August 9, and round 3 on September 6. We’ll be announcing booking later today, so stay tuned!

It’s easy to find the social vibe when the sun is shining!

We tend to slow down on sauna over the summer, but it can still offer an incredible opportunity to connect with yourself, others, and the outdoors. We’ve got a few opportunities left to connect this summer at Central Rock Gym (tonight!) and Holmes Hollow Farm (8/1 trail run & sauna social), then we take a little break before fall sauna season 🔥

Boulders & Brews is happening next Wednesday, July 15, and we’re bringing the wood-fired sauna to Central Rock Gym for an evening of movement, recovery, and community.

Whether you climb first, sauna first, or simply come to hang out, this is one of those nights that’s easy to settle into.

Your sauna pass includes:
🔥 Wood-fired sauna sessions
❄️ Cold plunge & cold rinse
🧗 Free climbing gear rental
🎸 Live music throughout the evening
Plus, grab a beer, enjoy the BBQ, and spend a summer night with good people.

📍 Central Rock Gym
📅 Wednesday, July 15
⏰ 6–9 PM

Reserve your sauna spot on our website or just show up and pay on site.

These community nights have become some of our favorite events because there’s no pressure to perform or rush. Just climb if you want, sweat, cool off, eat good food, listen to live music, and connect.

If you’ve been curious about Sauna Social, this is a pretty great place to start. See you Wednesday. 🔥
