“I used to go in my Finnish sauna three times a week, but actually that wasn’t relaxation, it was more of an effort. Even my husband Filip, who doesn’t like heat at all, hardly ever went in. Years ago, I accidentally discovered an infrared sauna when I was staying at a hotel in Croatia for Familie.
It was the week before my mastectomy, an incredibly difficult period (Martine was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006). I still remember sitting there, in that infrared cabin. It felt so good. Even then I thought: one day, I want this for myself.
Every evening before I go to sleep, I use my Health Mate infrared sauna. I absolutely love it, that little moment just for myself. In my cabin, I let go of all my worries. And afterward, I fall asleep instantly. Besides that pure relaxation, there’s another wonderful effect.
For the first time since my mastectomy in 2006, I’m starting to regain feeling on the left side of my body. It had been numb for years. Now it feels as if that side is thawing. I never experienced that in my other sauna. Even stiffness in my neck disappears. I really couldn’t do without my Health Mate infrared cabin anymore.”
