Our Story

Welcome to SaunaSpace

Hi, I'm Gina DeBruin, and I'm thrilled to share my passion for wellness and indoor saunas with you. As a Commercial Healthcare Leader at Higi, I've spent my career focused on improving people's health and wellbeing. This work has given me a deep appreciation for the transformative power of wellness practices, including the incredible benefits of regular sauna use.

My journey with saunas began several years ago when I was researching natural ways to enhance recovery, reduce stress, and improve overall health. What started as personal curiosity quickly became a passion project as I discovered how accessible and beneficial indoor saunas could be for everyday families.

Why I Created SaunaSpace

After building my own indoor sauna and experiencing firsthand the challenges and rewards of the process, I realized there was a need for comprehensive, practical guidance. Too many resources were either overly technical or frustratingly vague. I wanted to create a place where homeowners could find clear, actionable information about planning, designing, and building indoor saunas.

SaunaSpace was born from this vision. Here, you'll find everything from basic planning guides to detailed DIY instructions, all written with the same authentic, friendly approach I'd use if we were chatting over coffee. I believe wellness should be accessible, and that includes having the resources to create your own wellness space at home.

My Approach

My background in healthcare has taught me the importance of evidence-based information and practical solutions. That's why every guide and article on SaunaSpace is:

• Thoroughly researched: I back up recommendations with data from credible sources and real-world experience
• Clearly explained: No jargon or confusing technical speak—just straightforward guidance
• Actionable: Every piece of content is designed to help you take the next step in your sauna project
• Honest: I share both successes and challenges, so you know what to expect

Beyond Saunas

When I'm not researching the latest sauna technologies or writing guides, I'm busy being a mom to three amazing sons. They keep me grounded, constantly curious, and always looking for ways to make our home healthier and more welcoming. My family has been incredibly supportive of this project, and our home sauna has become a favorite gathering spot for relaxation and conversation.

I describe myself as MOTIVATED, STRATEGIC, PASSIONATE, FORWARD-THINKING, and CURIOUS—traits that have served me well both in my healthcare career and in creating this resource. I'm always learning, always exploring new ideas, and always eager to help others achieve their wellness goals.
