Thermory vs. cedar: what to know before you build.
Most buyers never ask about the wood. They should — why thermally modified Thermory outperforms cedar in a Colorado climate, and what to look for.
We consult, source, and install the wellness infrastructure inside homes worth building well — across the full sanctuary stack, working for the member, not the manufacturer.
A real wellness space is built, not bought. We help discerning people build sanctuary inside the homes, retreats, and places of worship they’ve already designed with intention.
We consult on the full sanctuary stack — sauna, cold, light, PEMF and biomat, light water, sound, and hydrogen. We source and install the products we hold direct relationships with, and we guide members to trusted providers for the therapies we don’t carry directly. The consultancy is the offer; the catalog is selective, and we’re transparent about which is which.
The room is what makes the practice possible. Sauna Friend | Sanctuary Supply is the sanctuary infrastructure arm of Bioharmony Collective, a Colorado-based ministry building Centers of Aliveness across the country.
David has spent more than a decade installing sanctuary infrastructure and studying the practices it supports. His broader work through Origin Temple, Origin Institute, and Bioharmony Collective informs how Sauna Friend reads a space — not as a product to place, but as a room that has to hold a practice for decades.
He leads with his top recommendations and the reasoning behind them, disagrees when the answer calls for it, and stays reachable after the delivery truck leaves. The whole practice works the way he does: unhurried on the front end, exact in the build, present for the years after.
Begin a ConsultationEvery member moves through the same sequence. We don’t recommend all seven therapies to everyone — we recommend what fits the space, the practice, and how you intend to use it.
We start with the space, the practice you intend, and the full seven-therapy frame. We tell you what fits, what doesn’t, and what we’d do ourselves. The consultancy applies whether or not we’re the source.
For sauna, cold, light, and PEMF & biomat, we source and install directly. For the therapies we don’t carry, we connect you with the providers we’d use ourselves — and say so plainly.
Member pricing inside the portal, honest counsel after the build, and support that doesn’t end at the delivery truck. The room ages well because someone keeps tending it.
Sauna Therapy and Cold Therapy — the thermal cycle at the foundation of most sanctuary builds. Sourced and installed direct.
See the therapies →Light Therapy and PEMF & Biomat — photobiomodulation and the post-thermal integration layer where the practice settles. Sourced direct.
See the therapies →Light Water, Sound, and Hydrogen Therapy — protocol additions we consult on and connect you with the providers we trust.
See the therapies →The consultancy applies to all seven therapies. The sourcing is selective — and we never imply we sell what we refer.
Where we hold manufacturer relationships, we source, install, and support directly — with professional installation and the warranty of a continuing relationship.
Where we’re not the source, we consult on the protocols and connect you with the systems we’d use ourselves. The guidance is honest; the purchase is yours, made directly with the provider.
Site preparation, electrical coordination, and installation handled by a consistent team, with licensed trade partners for the work that requires them. We get the structural and aesthetic details right, because the room has to belong inside the home you’ve already designed with intention.
Single-point accountability: one number to call when something matters. Walk-throughs happen with the people who did the work.
David went above and beyond. I can tell he is genuinely interested in my health concerns rather than sales.
I did a ton of research before deciding what sauna to buy. I chose them for the service, the warranty, and the information.
From the first call until after the sauna was put together — no problems at all. Very professional.
Most buyers never ask about the wood. They should — why thermally modified Thermory outperforms cedar in a Colorado climate, and what to look for.
You’ve chosen the sauna — now who puts it together? What professional assembly looks like, and why it decides whether the build holds up.
David on the thermal cycle, cold exposure, and hydrogen — a holistic, infrastructure-first approach to building a regenerative practice at home.
A consultation is a conversation about the space, the practice, and what would fit — across all seven therapies, whether or not we’re the source. Pricing is shared inside the member portal, once we know the model fits the room.
