After a blizzard buried us under a historic 37 inches of snow this winter, it’s safe to say Rhode Islanders are more than ready to thaw out and find new ways to revitalize this spring season. Well-being rituals that nurture the mind, body, and spirit have become an important part of that seasonal transition. Two local businesses are redefining what self-care can look like: Sauna On Location delivers authentic sauna heat right to your doorstep, while Radiant Wellness Healing offers a quiet space for self-discovery, creating experiences that feel accessible, communal, and deeply invigorating.
Skip the drive to the spa and let the relaxation come to you. That’s the idea behind Sauna On Location. Founded by Jessica and John Meegan of South Kingstown, the mobile sauna rental brings the restorative power of heat therapy directly to homes, private gatherings, and public events throughout South County and beyond. Invite up to eight of your closest friends and step inside the elite wood-fired barrel sauna. As the heat goes to work, you’ll do more than just relax. Besides a satisfying sweat, these sessions are scientifically linked to improved heart health and strengthened function – all while soothing aching muscles and calming stressed-out minds.
Inspired by the couple’s shared background in athletics – Jessica, a former open-water swimmer and triathlete who now teaches yoga, and John, a competitive cyclist and head mechanic for Stedman’s Bike Shop in Wakefield – sauna therapy became an essential part of their recovery from years of intense training. Recognizing how transformative the experience could be, they set out to share it with their community. “Sauna has always been about more than just heat to us,” says Jessica. “It’s about creating spaces that help people feel better and bring them together.” Since the start of this year, Sauna On Location has appeared at South County Tourism events, including the Kinney Azalea Gardens Wellness Hike and the Oceanfront Sauna: Heat, Plunge, Eat at George’s of Galilee in Narragansett, which featured an optional cold plunge.

Ignite your inner magic, foster meaningful connections, and nourish your spirit at Radiant Wellness Healing in Johnston. Rooted in creativity, spirituality, and service, the studio was born from Mary Elizabeth Lima’s own journey through life’s light and shadow. A certified clinical hypnotist and Reiki Master, Lima built more than just a business; it’s a welcoming space to pause, reconnect, and feel truly seen, safe, and supported. “Holistic practices recognize that physical, mental, and spiritual well-being are interconnected,” explains Lima. “Sometimes healing isn’t about fixing. It’s about remembering that you deserve care, rest, and peace. Most importantly, it’s about honoring your soul.”
Feel the day’s tension fade into a cozy embrace the moment you enter the lounge. You’re immediately greeted with a steaming cup of herbal tea and invited to explore the studio’s wide range of unique holistic offerings designed to still the mind and restore your internal equilibrium. Whether you seek a massage, intuitive readings, a Reiki session, or creative therapies, these practices work in harmony to help achieve a deeper state of calm and lasting balance. The team of practitioners, affectionately called “Earth Angels,” shares one mission: to provide gentle, compassionate care in a peaceful setting that meets you right where you are. Guests can even take a piece of their session home with them by purchasing Lima’s selection of handcrafted aromatherapy, natural skincare, crystals, and jewelry.
