At Wyld, we are committed to creating a supportive and welcoming environment where guests of all identities can feel safe, respected and comfortable being themselves.
We believe sauna should be for everyone. For too long, some wellness spaces have unintentionally felt inaccessible or uncomfortable for certain communities, and we want to help change that by creating a space built around belonging, acceptance and shared wellbeing.
We proudly welcome guests of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions. Every person who visits Wyld should be able to enjoy the benefits of sauna and cold exposure without fear of judgement, discrimination or feeling like they do not belong.
Building an inclusive community
Creating an inclusive space is not something we believe can be achieved by simply writing a policy. It requires listening, learning and working alongside the communities we want to support.
We actively work with community leaders and groups to help guide us in creating a more supportive and welcoming environment. By listening to lived experiences and receiving feedback from the people who understand these needs best, we can continue improving our facilities, approach and guest experience.
Throughout the year, we will rent our space privately for special community-led sessions and identity-focused experiences to members of these communities.
These sessions are designed to create opportunities for connection, comfort and belonging, while showing that sauna is a space for everyone to enjoy.
These experiences may include sessions created alongside LGBTQIA+ communities, mental health-focused groups, accessibility-focused communities or other groups who may benefit from a more tailored environment.
A space designed for comfort and choice.
We understand that everyone experiences shared spaces differently. That is why we have designed Wyld with flexibility, privacy and choice in mind.
Our facilities include:
Private changing options
Individual changing cubicles are available for guests who would prefer additional privacy when preparing for their session.
Accessible changing facilities
Accessible changing rooms provide additional space and support for guests who require them.
Different ways to experience Wyld
Our quiet sauna, occasional silent sessions and community experiences provide different ways for guests to enjoy the space depending on their comfort, needs and preferences.
Respect for everyone
A welcoming environment relies on everyone contributing to it.
We ask all guests to respect each other's identities, boundaries, privacy and personal space. Discrimination, harassment or behaviour that makes another guest feel unsafe or unwelcome will not be tolerated.
This includes:
• Homophobic, biphobic or transphobic language or behaviour.
• Deliberate disrespect towards someone's identity or pronouns.
• Unwanted comments about someone's body, appearance or identity.
• Any behaviour that creates an intimidating, hostile or uncomfortable environment.
Our team will always take concerns seriously and act where behaviour does not meet the standards expected at Wyld.
Always learning and improving
We know that creating truly inclusive spaces is an ongoing journey. The best way to improve is by listening to the people who use our facilities and the communities we aim to support.

We are committed to continuing to learn, adapt and build a sauna environment where everyone feels that they belong.
