Parenie Thermal Treatment
An Invigorating Age-Old Wellness Ritual
Our signature treatment, the Parenie Ritual, uses fragrant bundles of birch, oak, and eucalyptus twigs—known as ‘venik’ (a name for a bundle of leafy branches traditionally used in Russian banyas). This ancient practice, often referred to as ‘shvitz’ in the US or platza, involves a venik massage performed inside our superheated steam room, followed by cold water immersion.
The Parenie treatment is not just a physical experience; it’s a guided thermal ritual steeped in tradition. This process pushes you out of your comfort zone, relieving stress, promoting detoxification, and strengthening the immune system, along with offering numerous other health benefits.
PARENIE – INVIGORATING THERMAL TREATMENT
Age-Old Wellness Ritual – Classic Version
Experience the age-old wellness ritual in its classic form. The Parenie treatment is an intense process that becomes deeply relaxing by the end. During the ritual, steam is expertly worked around your body with leafy branches to warm and invigorate you—it’s not simply a matter of being ‘slashed’ with leaves, as the uninitiated might imagine.
This steam ritual is followed by a cold plunge and an ice bucket shower, providing a powerful contrast that triggers the release of adrenaline and stress hormones, leading to a heightened sense of invigoration.
Benefits of Parenie Ritual:
- Detoxifying effect, cleansing the body of impurities
- Helps alleviate jet lag, restoring energy levels

The entire experience is guided by our skilled Steam Masters, who ensure your comfort and safety throughout. After the treatment, you may feel a tingling sensation or a slight lightheadedness, signs of the body’s response to this rejuvenating ritual.
PARENIE 4-HANDED
Double the Intensity of Your Experience
The 4-Handed Parenie is an intensified version of the classic Parenie treatment, where two Steam Masters work in unison using bundles of birch, oak, and eucalyptus twigs. This exhilirating thermal treatment is performed in a steam room, amplifying the effects of relaxation, blood circulation, and detoxification.
The synchronicity of four hands working together enhances the sensory experience, creating a deeper connection with traditional healing rituals. The warmth penetrates deeply into your muscles, while the aromatic oils from the twigs envelop you in a soothing, immersive atmosphere.
This treatment goes beyond physical wellness, offering a journey into mental and emotional rejuvenation, grounding you in the present moment and reconnecting you with ancient healing traditions.
