Hello, I am Maia

A sauna woman who lives through the sauna.

I offer guided smoke sauna experiences all over Estonia. Over several hours we move through multiple rounds in the sauna; in between we cool off in the pond or lie on the grass, in winter we dip into an ice hole or roll in fresh snow, and we simply let ourselves be. In the sauna room I use medicinal herbs, whisks, sounds and words in various ways according to need. At the same time, the sauna may also rest in pure, deep silence. Each visit is born in the moment.

A warm meadowsweet infusion, the intoxicating scent of fresh birch whisks, the soft caress of pond water, the gentle cleansing of ash — my service is not entertainment, but a sauna practice that supports deep relaxation and inner peace. An authentic traditional experience which gives a glimpse of Estonia's UNESCO-listed sauna culture.

What guests say

The sauna rituals experienced under Maia's guidance are something more than just a sauna visit. The space she holds is full of warmth, sincerity and attentiveness. There is silence in the room, there is sound. Here, time listens to you. Maia was able to create in me the feeling of coming home — a place where body and mind truly rest.
