Each season offers something special! Winter offers the option for snowshoeing vs hiking in the warmer months. The fall offers the spectacular beauty of the colourful maple trees (over 4000 on the property!) If you choose to visit early spring, you can witness the fun we have harvesting the maple sap and making our own syrup. Rooted Woodland has something special to offer you all year around.

Your safety is our top priority. As a Registered Nurse and a Certified Breathwork and Cold Plunge Facilitator, I’m trained to handle health concerns that may arise during events. My husband, a professional firefighter, and I are both CPR certified, and we have an AED on site, ready for use if needed. To ensure the well-being of all guests, we require a mandatory health intake form for every participant prior to events that involve the sauna or cold plunging. This helps us tailor the experience to your needs and ensure a safe, enjoyable time experience.
-
We require a health intake form to be completed prior to each event. We will review your health history and if we have questions or concerns we will privately speak to you about them prior to any contrast therapy portion of the event. Ultimately, it is at the discretion of the facilitator, to decide if it is deemed safe to facilitate the sauna and cold plunge session based on health conditions. Jodie has many alternatives to getting right into a cold tub if there is a health concern and she will offer an appropriate one to you if there are health and safety concerns.
