Something Special
We always seek passionate and talented individuals to join our team. We would love to hear from you.
At SaunaSpace, we believe in doing things differently—with integrity, intentionality, and a deep sense of social responsibility. Our mission is to align with nature and illuminate the innate power within your body through the transformative benefits of light and heat therapy.
From Inspiration To Innovation
Brian Richards, the founder of SaunaSpace, embarked on a personal journey to overcome his own health challenges using the wisdom of nature and the power of light. Frustrated by the limitations of conventional medicine, he discovered the profound benefits of near-infrared light therapy. This revelation inspired him to create SaunaSpace—an elegant fusion of ancient healing traditions and modern technology.
With a background in chemistry and experience in organic synthesis labs (including the invention of a novel fluorescent protein dye), Brian brings scientific rigor to every innovation. Guided by a vision of healthful, fulfilling lives for all, he has dedicated himself to developing high-quality tools that harness the transformative power of light and heat therapy. Each SaunaSpace product reflects his commitment to intentionality, craftsmanship, and the natural world.
Today, SaunaSpace stands as a testament to Brian’s unwavering dedication to helping others reconnect with their true selves—body, mind, and spirit.

A Workplace
Rooted in Wellness
At SaunaSpace, wellness isn’t just what we create—it’s how we operate. We believe that a thriving team is essential to building products that truly transform lives.
Our employees have access to a Wellness Studio designed for deep restoration and resilience. It features FireLight® Saunas and Hearths for relaxation and detoxification and an InHarmony Meditation Cushion for stress relief and nervous system balance. Every desk is equipped with a Glow light, optimizing wellness while working. We also offer on-site yoga classes, along with remote yoga and breathwork sessions to support our team wherever they are. Employees enjoy complimentary and discounted sauna products, as well as moments of connection through New Moon ceremonies, fostering reflection and intention-setting.
Leading this vision is Chief Wellness Officer, Mila Rae, ensuring that well-being is woven into every part of our culture—because when a company invests in wellness at every level, everyone benefits.
Driven By Results,
Empowered By Trust
At SaunaSpace, we believe the best work happens when people are trusted to take ownership and thrive in their strengths. That’s why we embrace the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS)—a non-hierarchical, strengths-based approach that empowers our team with the clarity, autonomy, and accountability to drive meaningful results.
Our culture is built on integrity, intentionality, and continuous growth, ensuring that every team member is supported in doing their best work. By fostering trust and alignment, we create an environment where innovation flourishes, and every individual contributes to something greater.
Our Core Values
Stand in Truth
In every word and action, we lead with honesty, integrity, and transparency. Our customers and teammates can trust that we do what’s right—even when it’s not easy.
Build with Intention
Every choice we make—every design, material, and process—is driven by purpose. From handcrafted manufacturing to research-backed innovation, we build tools for deep, lasting wellness.
Illuminate the Path
We bring clarity to complexity, whether it’s scientific, operational, or interpersonal. In our production facility and across the company, we approach challenges with focus, creativity, and respect—building smart solutions that work in harmony.
Care Without Compromise
We go above and beyond—not because we have to, but because we care. From white-glove customer support to the everyday culture of our production facility, we show up with respect, empathy, and excellence.
Light Leads
We believe in the intelligence of light—not just as therapy, but as a guide toward clarity, presence, and awakening.
