At Soul Sanctuary, we don't guess, we ground. Every practice we deliver is rooted in a growing body of research across physiology, neuroscience, somatics, and heat therapy.

This is wellness backed by data, not dogma.

We explore how infrared heat enhances circulation, downregulates the nervous system, softens fascia, and increases neuroplasticity, creating an ideal internal landscape for transformation.

Our practices are built upon peer-reviewed studies spanning multiple research domains, each selected for its relevance to heat-enhanced mind-body practices.
