A Milestone for the UK Wellness Industry as Anada’s Foundation Sauna Master Course Gains Accreditation
We are thrilled to announce that Anada’s Foundation Sauna Master Course has officially become the first sauna-based training programme in the UK to receive full accreditation and certification. This milestone marks a significant step forward—not just for us, but for the entire UK wellness industry.
At Anada, we believe in the power of heat, ritual, and community. The accreditation of our course is more than just a formal stamp of approval; it’s a foundational moment in recognising sauna mastery as a respected profession. For years, sauna culture has thrived across Europe and beyond, celebrated for its health benefits, cultural richness, and transformative experiences. Now, with this course, we begin laying the groundwork to elevate and professionalise sauna work here in the UK.
Raising Standards, Empowering Practitioners
With official accreditation comes accountability and structure. This course sets a new benchmark in training quality, safety, and practice for aspiring sauna masters. It ensures that those leading sauna experiences are not only passionate, but trained, certified, and equipped with the knowledge and tools to deliver world-class wellness experiences.
The curriculum blends essential theory with hands-on application, covering everything from thermal safety and ventilation to the art of Aufguss and guest care. It is designed to give students a strong, confident foundation to begin or elevate their journey in the field.
Opening Doors
This isn’t just about the UK. With accreditation comes credibility, and with that, the opportunity to connect with global wellness networks. Whether you’re looking to work in luxury spas abroad, join international wellness events, or collaborate with sauna masters from different traditions, certification makes those pathways more accessible.
The course also helps wellness operators and employers identify qualified professionals they can trust, supporting safer, more engaging experiences for guests.
Looking Ahead
This accreditation is only the beginning. It’s the first step in our broader vision to create a clear, professional pathway for sauna mastery in the UK, raising awareness, setting standards, and supporting careers in a field that has, until now, lacked formal recognition.
We are proud to be leading this movement and incredibly grateful to our community for supporting this vision. Whether you’re new to the world of sauna or a seasoned practitioner, we invite you to be part of this exciting evolution.
Together, let’s heat things up – professionally, purposefully, and with pride.
