Membership

The goal is the right room.

Sauna Friend is a member-based sanctuary infrastructure service. There is no pricing on this site, and that is a decision rather than an oversight. This page explains what we do, why we work privately, and exactly what membership does and does not change.

What we do

The sauna is the easy part.

Buying a sauna has never been easier. A dozen websites will have one on your driveway by next week.

Then the real project starts. The pad, the electrical coordination, skilled assembly on site. And after the build, heat and weather go to work on every sauna ever made. Something will eventually need attention, and most owners discover their seller was a website.

The sauna is the easy part. The site, the power, the build, and the years that follow are the project, and that is the part we handle. Sauna Friend builds saunas, start to finish, and stays on your side for the life of the thing.

We represent you, not the manufacturers.

Stage by stage

Seven stages, each a real deliverable

  1. Consultation

    Understand the space, the climate, the household, the intended use, and the constraints. No pressure, no quota. This is where fit is determined.

  2. Selection and sourcing

    Unbiased recommendation of quality products we stand behind, chosen for the site and the person, not for the brand.

  3. Site preparation

    Pad, foundation, drainage, access, and placement. The part national sellers never mention.

  4. Electrical coordination

    Electrical work coordinated through licensed electricians. We coordinate; licensed trades perform.

  5. Delivery and white-⁠glove assembly

    Freight coordination and skilled assembly. Most assemblies take four to eight hours on site.

  6. Protection

    Climate-appropriate wood treatment and protection for the seasons the unit will live through.

  7. Long-term support

    The relationship after the build. Service, guidance, and someone who picks up the phone in year three.

Why we work this way

Five reasons we work member to member

These are the reasons, plainly stated. If any of them do not sit right with you, that is worth knowing before you call, not after.

Take our pricing offline.

Fixed public pricing invites comparison on a number alone, and that rewards the lowest bidder over the right fit. Working privately lets us focus on member-first experiences instead of competing to be the cheapest click.

Work in the private domain, member to member.

The relationship is built on trust, shared values, and the quality of what we create together, rather than on the traditional commerce model of the most transactions at the lowest cost.

Represent the member, not the manufacturers.

Guidance stays honest and unbiased because we answer to the member and the mission, not to a sales quota or a single brand.

Serve people who resonate with the work.

Build deeply with those who value expertise and share the vision, rather than selling to everyone who passes by.

Point the work toward the mission.

As an auxiliary of a mission-driven ministry, the work supports something larger than any single sale.

What membership does not change

Membership is simple to enter and free to leave, and it does not reduce any of your protections. Insurance, liability, our obligation to remit taxes, and your recourse are unchanged. It changes the spirit of the arrangement, not your rights.

Membership is a change in how we work together. It is not a waiver, it is not a release, and it does not ask you to give anything up in exchange for a conversation.

InsuranceUnchanged
Unchanged. The coverage that applies to the work applies exactly as it would otherwise.
LiabilityUnchanged
Unchanged. Membership does not shift responsibility for the work onto you.
TaxesUnchanged
Unchanged. Our obligation to remit taxes is the same as it has always been.
Your recourseUnchanged
Unchanged. Every avenue open to you before membership stays open to you after it.
In practice

How membership works

Five steps, and none of them are complicated. Most of the work happens on a phone call with a person who has built these before.

  1. You ask for member pricing

    A short request tells us where the sauna is going and what you are considering. Nothing is committed by asking, and no figure is generated by a form.

  2. A specialist calls you

    We read the room before we recommend anything: placement, access, drainage, grade, how the household intends to use it, and what the site will allow. Availability is confirmed during this conversation.

  3. Membership is entered as part of that conversation

    It is simple to enter and free to leave. Your specialist walks you through what it means before anything else happens.

  4. Member pricing is discussed with a person

    Directly, for your project, covering the whole scope of work rather than a unit on a pallet. There is no quota behind the conversation.

  5. The work runs the full ladder

    Sourcing, site preparation, electrical coordination through licensed electricians, delivery and assembly, protection, and support in the years after.

What member pricing includes

Member pricing covers the whole project, not a crate delivered on a pallet.

A note from our founder

My goal is to help the world transition to regenerative wellness practices that hold communities together. I spent half my life in the corporate world, where the work was mostly transactional. I am shifting my focus toward the mission now, and I hope to one day open a Bioharmony Sanctuary of my own.

What I do today feels personal in a way that work rarely did. It gives me, and the members I serve, the peace of mind that this is going toward something greater. It feels bigger than me.

David Drimmel, Founder

Sauna Friend Sanctuary Supply is family owned and operated, and an integrated auxiliary of Bioharmony Collective, a mission-driven ministry. More about how we came to work this way.

Membership perk

Three free months at Origin Institute.

Every membership that sources a sauna through us includes three months at Origin Institute, the school founded by David Drimmel for Qigong and Taijiquan.

A course on saunas and wellness tools is in development, bringing traditional Chinese martial arts and medicine together with modern practice.

Included with any Sauna Friend membership that sources a sauna through us.

  • “Sauna Friends were exceptional! They fixed my sauna door, added flashing, and reinstalled my sauna roof. I looked for sauna-specific professionals to do these repairs so I could be confident they'd know what they're doing, and they did.”

  • “Worthy of 10 stars! Went above and beyond to ensure we had full understanding in everything: the sauna we purchased, the ordering, delivery, and setup. Absolutely love our sauna and worth every penny. David was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to over-deliver. Highly recommend working with David!”
