Meet the Founder

Harri Barker

"It is my mission to contribute something to my community which will encourage more people to step outside of their front door more..."

I’m Harri, a nature loving, sea swimming, adventure seeking yogi born and raised in South Wales. I am a keen traveller and have spent much of my 20s working and backpacking my way around the globe, constantly seeking new mountains to climb, oceans to swim, and connections to make with our incredible planet and the extraordinary people who live here. But Wales will always be my home and after an incredible experience at a seaside sauna in Ireland, and discovering its many health benefits, moving into my 30s I decided to hang up my hiking boots and return home to Wales to join the growing sauna community in the UK and open my own along the Welsh coast.

 

I have always felt my best self when spending time outdoors, and it is my mission to contribute something to my community which will encourage more people to step outside of their front door more regularly and take a different perspective of our unpredictable Welsh weather even on the gloomiest of days. For me, the sauna is a quiet place to sit back, take a breath, disconnect, and let the stresses of the day melt (or sweat) away.

Rose Fisher

Wellbeing Specialist

"She brings people together to embrace simple joys that lift our mood..."

Rose is a wellbeing specialist who cares deeply about helping people live life well. As a counsellor, yoga teacher, and yoga therapist, she works holistically to support the mental and physical health of many. A nature girl at heart, she loves sharing magical experiences in the beautiful Gower.
 
She brings people together to embrace simple joys that lift our mood, while also delivering workplace training on stress, nervous system regulation, and communication skills.

Chris Davies

Breathwork Facilitator & Men’s Coach

"His approach is not about chasing highs but about coming home to what's real..."

Chris Davies is a former Royal Marine Commando and private investigator who found his way back to himself through the breath. After years spent in high-pressure, high-stress environments, it was conscious breathing that sparked a transformation and a new path forward.
 
Now a breathwork facilitator and men’s coach, Chris leads monthly Full Moon Breathwork sessions designed for deep release, reflection, and reconnection. Held under the powerful energy of the full moon, these sessions invite participants to let go of what no longer serves them and return to a place of presence, awareness, and truth.
 
Chris creates a grounded, intentional space where breath becomes a tool for clarity, emotional release, and nervous system balance. His approach is not about chasing highs but about coming home to what’s real.

Ali Bond

Bookings & Operations manager

"For me, Tŷ Sawna is so much more than a work place, it’s a space to connect to nature, others and self."

You will likely chat to me on any of our contact platforms or have me hosting your sauna session. 
I began working with Tŷ Sawna to support my mental health nursing training. Very quickly Saturday mornings became one of my favourite parts of the week! Spending time at the beach, meeting lovely customers, tending to the fire and of course, the ritual of sweating out and sea dipping.

I am happiest when outside, having spent most my 20s & 30s working in outdoor education, living and working in some awesome places. For now, I feel very lucky to have landed in Gower, where I’m close to home and pursuing a continued passion for facilitating well-being.

The Faces Behind the Warmth

Our team is made up of friendly, down-to-earth people who help keep things flowing at the beach—welcoming you, tending the stoves, and making sure your experience is as relaxing as it should be.
