Sauna Twins Podcast Episode #28: Reset Sauna | Finnmark Sauna

December 8, 2025

In this episode of The Sauna Twins podcast, Jake and Max Newport sit down with Oliver Horsford, founder of Reset Sauna, London – an exciting new contrast therapy and wellness space opening in January 2026 at 240 Upper Street, Highbury & Islington.

Oliver shares the personal journey that led him to create Reset, from years of burnout and disconnection to discovering the transformative power of breathwork and contrast therapy. Now, he's bringing that experience to North London with a one-of-a-kind 25-person charred oak Finnish sauna, top-tier ice baths ranging from 1°C to 9°C, and a custom-built breathwork space featuring world-class instructors.

Reset isn't just another wellness facility – it's a community-focused space designed to help people reconnect with themselves through heat, cold, and breath. With guided contrast therapy experiences, social sauna sessions with DJs and special guests, and a focus on local community engagement, Oliver is creating something truly special in the heart of London.

We discuss the science behind contrast therapy, the challenges of building a wellness business, the importance of authentic sauna design, and Oliver's vision for making these practices accessible to the Islington community and beyond.

Whether you're a sauna enthusiast, curious about contrast therapy, or interested in the business of wellness, this conversation offers valuable insights from someone who's living and breathing this lifestyle.
