Sarah had a vision to start a sauna business, and thanks to Crowdfunder’s amazing community she was able to see that dream become a reality with her business, the Seaside Sauna Haus. In February 2020, 128 supporters helped raise over £9.5k for Sarah’s startup.
Since then it’s become a mainstay in the small town of Seatown in Dorset, UK. Nestled right on the ruggedly beautiful Seatown beach next to a local pub, Sarah hosts regular sauna club sessions and private bookings, and firmly believes in the healing affects of making sauna a part of your life.
