What can I say! The course was everything I’d hoped for, and so much more. From the moment we were welcomed by Katie and the wonderful team, it felt comfortable with such a good vibe. We started each day with some room based learning, covering the history of sauna, safety, build guidance and different practices, before moving into the practical work. Katie is so incredibly knowledgeable, with real passion for sauna culture, and had brought in different practitioners who each had a lovely different ways of doing guided sessions, I’ve learnt so much from everyone of of them and some lovely techniques that I will bring into my own practice. I especially liked the whisking techniques and learning more about the use of botanicals in the sauna. It’s something I will lean into more, not just for my own sauna practice, but in my own life. After learning with the practitioners, we were given plenty of time to practice what we’d learnt. I have to say Katie and Amy made the towel waving look effortless, but it’s really not easy! We finished the 3 days by designing and hosting our own guided sessions, which was really fun. It was great to try out our new skills and learn from each other and I can’t wait to see how my other group members put their skills into practice! Katie and the team have created something really special at Wild Spa Wowo I thoroughly enjoyed and wholeheartedly recommend this course and will definitely look to book onto other courses with Katie

I went on Katie Bracher's Sauna Fusion Foundations course and it was really inspiring and magical. It was so lovely to connect with other sauna-owners and hosts and those wanting to lead sauna rituals and to learn more about sauna. We learnt so many different techniques, as well as the history of sauna across the world. The workshops with Fay and Fleur were fabulous too. And after 3 days of sauna-ing my skin is soooo soft! Thank you Katie - I'll be back for more courses for sure.

I've just completed a wonderful three days with Katie and team at the Sauna Fusion training. The training has been a wonderful balance of theoretical learning, experience and immersion and time to practice and lead sessions. The depth and range of instructor experience and learning has been invaluable. Thank you very much! I'm excited to be able to start to implement and share this more widely and will definitely be looking for further future development opportunities.

Had an amazing time with Katie at wowo for my 101 Sauna Master Training, not only did leave feeling like I had learnt a lot, I also experienced one of the most amazing sauna ceremonies which I will remember forever! It was a great introduction to what can be achieved and how to take the sauna experience that much deeper. I would highly recommend training with Katie and visiting the wild spa at wowo amazing place to spend time rejuvenating!

The three days of intensive training as a sauna guide were amazing - I not only learnt a lot but had a deeply relaxing and inspiring time with a great group of people. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, warm and welcoming, and all of the instructors/guides were passionate and skilful. The perfect place and the perfect people to open up a new door into the sauna experience.
