Transforming Wellness: My Journey with Contrast Therapy at Kontra Baths - Long Island

How do your support your wellness? There are a variety of options that can assist with optimal rejuvenation mentally, physically and emotionally. Kontra Baths is a sauna oasis that supports all of this and more. I was so excited to learn that this concept would be added right on Long Island in Carle Place. Immediately as you enter the space, you are greeted with a serene feeling and wonderful customer service. The staff did a phenomenal job guiding you on the instructions of the treatments as well as the many benefits. I was not introduced to the concept of contrast therapy until my first initial visit, so what exactly is it?

Konta Baths describes contrast therapy as: "combining cold plunges and infrared saunas by exposing the body to alternating extreme temperatures." This shock to the body allows you to feel the benefits instantly as the cold reduces surface blood flow and the heat encourages circulation and relaxation. One of staff members, Tamia also informed me about the red light therapy benefits, but one that really stood out to me was the increase in collagen production! I love taking care of my skin and did not know that red light therapy can also assist in keeping it nice and smooth.

In addition to loving the contrast therapy concept, I also enjoyed the personalized experience you can create within your sessions. You can adjust the color of the room to your liking, I navigated between pink and blue colors. You can also set the ultimate vibe by connecting your phone to the bluetooth that is within the sauna to : play music, an audiobook, affirmations, or listen to the SaveTheGoodGirl podcast! Due to the space that I was in, I opted for slow, soft music which was a great touch while I was cooling down.

** Pro Tip- while completing the red light treatment, be sure to take a couple of deep breaths while saying " My life is getting better everyday."

I would highly recommend you book a session with Kontra Baths for an immediate energy boost and to minimize stress. I had an amazing experience and did notice a difference in my mood upon leaving the location. The service is amazing, the space is clean, and the concept works! Here are some additional benefits:

• Reduced stress and anxiety

• Increased energy and alertness

• Strengthened immune system

• Enhanced sleep quality

Be sure to push yourself with the cold plunge, you will not regret it! Truly a luxurious, healthy experience with contrast therapy. Kontra Baths will be your favorite way to relax and revive.
