Who Are We?

Hey, we’re Carrie and Ryan — the couple behind Setri Nordic Spa and now, Nordic Spa Success.

Our love for sauna and cold plunge goes way back — over 20 years, actually. It all started at a friend’s cabin on a lake, where we’d heat up in a wood-fired sauna and jump into the icy water. It wasn’t fancy, but it was magic. And we were hooked.

Since then, we’ve made it a part of our lives wherever we could — road trips, weekend getaways, borrowed saunas, lake dips in every season. We always dreamed of building our own space someday, something small and peaceful, just for us.

But as we started sketching it out, something shifted.

We realized what we really wanted was to share this experience — to create a space where people could come together, slow down, and feel good in their bodies again. So instead of building small, we went big. We built Setri Nordic Spa — right in our own small town on Vancouver Island.

It’s now a place where locals gather, guests unwind, and strangers become friends — all through the simple magic of heat, cold, and community. And the best part? We built something that not only supports our well-being, but also our family’s future.

That’s why we created Nordic Spa Success — to help other people like you do the same. Whether you’re dreaming of a backyard sauna setup or launching a full spa experience, we’re here to walk you through it, step-by-step.

This isn’t just about business. It’s about building something meaningful — for your life, your community, and your freedom.

We’re so glad you’re here.
