Katrin & Brooks needed more than just a sauna—they needed a sanctuary. Symmetry delivered.
For elite athletes like Katrin Davíðsdóttir and Brooks Laich, recovery is everything. Their custom outdoor sauna was designed to enhance relaxation, performance, and overall wellness—tailored precisely to their needs.
Featuring a glass viewing window, the sauna blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings, creating an open, airy feel. The wave benches were crafted for ultimate ergonomic support, making long recovery sessions incredibly comfortable. A striking salt stone wall adds both beauty and therapeutic benefits, while the carefully designed lighting enhances the ambiance.
Built with high-quality interior wood and powered by a premium heater, their sauna delivers the perfect heat every time. Plus, with remote wifi controls, they can set their ideal temperature from anywhere—ensuring the sauna is always ready when they are. And because every detail matters, the custom exterior was designed to complement their outdoor space perfectly.

Our Path to Enhancing Our Wellness
Creating our personal wellness sanctuary
Recovery, clarity, & balance-redefined with the perfect sauna
As an active couple with demanding lifestyles, recovery and wellness have been essential to staying strong, healthy, and focused. For Brooks, a former pro hockey player, fitness enthusiast, and avid world traveler, maintaining peak physical and mental shape has always been a top priority. For Katrín, a two-time “Fittest Woman on Earth,” CrossFit Games Champion, and author, saunas have been vital for balance, recovery, and mental clarity—rooted in the Icelandic traditions she grew up with.
“After years of sharing our passion for saunas, we decided to make our dream a reality. We wanted a sauna that wasn’t just functional but also personal—something with key details to match our vision and seamlessly fit our home.
Symmetry brought that vision to life, exceeding every expectation, and creating a space that’s now the heart of our home and wellness routine.”

FAQ
There are, of course, many variables that can affect the amount of time it takes from contact to completion of your custom sauna. With that being said, here's how it usually goes:
From the first call to the finalized order, it usually takes about 3 weeks. This includes the initial 2D layout approval, any 3D sauna designs, and one round of revision. Then, from order to delivery, we're currently running about 8 weeks. During this time, we'll triple-check the measurements, select and cut your chosen sauna lumber, build benches, order in your chosen components and accessories, and crate it all together to ship out. While we're doing that, your electrician and handyman should be finishing any site prep that needs to be done.
Once everything is complete, shipping takes 7 to 10 days.
If Symmetry is doing the install
Once your sauna arrives (and we have confirmed that the site is prepared), we can schedule the actual install.
Please note: We can pencil in an install date, but we won't schedule the crew until after your sauna has arrived. We've learned this lesson the hard way too many times. We can usually get our crew there within 2 weeks of crate arrival.
The average custom sauna install takes a Symmetry crew about 5 days to complete.
That all adds up to about 21 weeks. So there you have it. From contract to completion, you're looking at about 3 months for an average custom sauna install.
So you might want to get started today!

If you can dream it, we can build it. There are some fantastic benefits associated with infrared saunas, but most of the off-the-rack options are sub-standard—and some may even be toxic.
Symmetry will design and build your custom infrared sauna with premium, sauna-grade soft woods so you can have all the benefits of the infrared heat source without the dangers of adhesives and treated lumber common in IR saunas. What would you like your infrared sauna to look like? Give us a call today and tell us about your dream sauna.
