The vision
SW Portland's first nature-immersive sauna garden.
We're transforming the former Jade River Healing Arts building in Raleigh Hills into a quiet garden retreat: cedar sauna, steam, cold plunge, and hot soaking, surrounded by ferns, stone, and open sky. A place close to home to slow down, warm up, and feel better.

Who's behind the project
Two neighbors wanted more for SW Portland.
Michelle and Josh were both seeking a way to make SW Portland even better: to help the community thrive, especially in the winter, and to create a place for community-building for those seeking connection to place, and to others who are wellness-minded or into healthy living.
Michelle
DESIGN + BUILD
Owner of a landscape architecture firm for 15 years, Michelle has spent her career shaping outdoor spaces that invite people to play and connect with nature. She has been involved in yoga, breath work, and movement for decades.
Josh
OPERATIONS + GROWTH
A former Nike and management consultant, Josh brings years of experience building teams, brands, and experiences people love. He's an avid Wim Hof breath-work fan, distance runner, and meditator. For him, contrast therapy has been transformative for enduring Portland winters.
Where
Tucked into the southwest hills of Portland.
We're building an outdoor retreat just off Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway. Easy access from Beaverton, Garden Home, the West Hills, and downtown Portland.
Our future home is the former Jade River Healing Arts property in Raleigh Hills, near Hillsdale and Multnomah Village. We're creating a garden retreat for SW Portland and the increasing number of tourists to the area. The site is not yet open to visitors.
