Anna Burkitt – Sauna Master

Anna Burkitt – Sauna Master in Beaconsfield & surrounding regions

T: 07885 740766 / E: anna@chilternsaunacircle.com

Sauna bathing is an ancient wellness practice, deeply rooted in European traditions, particularly in Finland, where it’s a way of life. Sauna goes much beyond relaxation. In fact, regular sauna use is scientifically proven to deliver profound health benefits, particularly for cardiovascular health, brain function and longevity.

“Sauna culture became a natural part of my life over years of personal practice. What started as a personal passion – seeking a deeper connection with myself and others, and looking for healing and greater resilience – soon turned into something transformative. Through this journey, I discovered a practice that made me feel truly alive.

There’s something primal about the sauna: the heat, the sweat, and how it strips you back to the essentials. Over time, this passion evolved into a mission: to create more community-driven, meaningful sauna experiences and make good sauna more accessible to more people, more often.

For me, sauna is one of the most powerful tools for transformation and renewal – there aren’t many things that can create such a profound nervous system reset in just an hour. It’s the perfect blend of deep rest and pure energy, like hitting reset on both mind and body. And beyond that, it’s playful too – a space where you can embrace your inner joy, share in the intensity with others, and build community in the simplest, most human way. Conversation flows effortlessly, and silence feels just as meaningful.

The sauna is this beautiful egoless space – a place of connection, both with others and with yourself.”

Science backed Health Benefits of Regular Sauna Bathing:

  • Cardiovascular Health & Longevity – A 20-year Finnish study of over 2,000 men found that those who used a sauna 4–7 times per week had a 50% lower risk of fatal cardiovascular disease compared to those who used it once a week. Sauna use mimics moderate exercise, improving circulation, lowering blood pressure, and enhancing heart health. (Laukkanen et al., 2015)
  • Brain Health & Reduced Alzheimer’s Risk – Another Finnish study found that men who used the sauna 4–7 times per week had a 65% lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia compared to infrequent users. The heat stress and increased blood flow to the brain support cognitive function and reduce neuroinflammation. (Laukkanen et al., 2017)
  • Muscle Recovery & Pain Relief – Heat therapy reduces muscle soreness, speeds up recovery after exercise, and relieves joint pain in conditions like arthritis. Sauna sessions increase circulation and help deliver oxygen and nutrients to muscles for faster healing.
  • Improved Sleep & Stress Reduction – Regular sauna lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) and boosts endorphins, helping to promote deeper, more restorative sleep and an overall sense of relaxation.
  • Stronger Immune System – Smaller studies have shown that sauna bathing may increase white blood cell production, helping the body fight off infections and reduce the frequency of colds. (Hannuksela & Ellahham, 2001)
  • Detoxification & Skin Health – Sweating in a sauna helps flush out toxins, heavy metals, and impurities, while also improving skin elasticity, circulation, and acne.

The Transformative Wellbeing Power of Deep Heat

  • Physical Renewal – Heat enhances circulation, flushing out toxins and delivering nutrients to muscles, joints, and skin. This rejuvenation reduces muscle tension and supports faster recovery, leaving you feeling revitalised.
  • Mental Reset – The soothing heat calms the nervous system, reducing stress and promoting mental clarity, creating the perfect environment for a full mental reset.
  • Emotional Healing – Heat stimulates endorphin production, boosting mood and easing tension. It provides a space for emotional reflection and release, leaving you feeling balanced.
  • Mind-Body Connection – The enveloping warmth encourages mindfulness, fostering a deeper awareness of your body, breath, and thoughts, promoting overall well-being.
  • Building Resilience – Regular heat exposure strengthens both physical and mental resilience, helping you adapt, increase endurance, and better handle stress.
  • Builds Community – Saunas naturally create an inclusive space where people come together, forging real connections and a sense of belonging.
  • Encourages Connection – In a relaxed, alcohol-free environment, saunas offer the perfect setting to socialise and strengthen bonds, combatting loneliness and fostering support networks.

To be totally honest, I came in a bit skeptical, given the modest facilities. I came home pleasantly surprised, showing that it’s not a matter of where but how and with whom.
Andre
Thank you for this experience Anna. I was really unsure what to expect in this, embraced every part of it and you made that very easy. I loved it, Thankyou for showing this experience to the world, as many wouldn’t know this existed. Please host more.
Daisy
As a total sauna newbie, I didn’t know what to expect, Anna made everything feel so welcoming and comfortable. The atmosphere was calming and hot. We were guided as a group through each stage of the sauna with stories and insights that made the experience so much more meaningful. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already looking forward to the next one. This sauna had wellness at the heart of it but is also a learning experience.
Heather
As someone who thought a sauna was something you just sit in, see how hot you can go and sweat buckets I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Anna demonstrated various techniques to enhance the session and was knowledgeable in explaining each one and the benefits. Who thought being hit with an Oak whisk would be so enjoyable. I had one of the best sleeps that night in ages and forgot about the stresses of the world.
Felix
Improved my mood, relaxed me and gave me an enormous sense of wellbeing.
Alice
I felt relaxed and happy for the next two days and slept much better than I usually do.
James
If you’re looking to experience a true sauna ritual, I’d highly recommend you experience one with Anna.
