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.
Meet the Team
Caroline Cridland
Operations & Site Manager
"Being at Ty Sawna resets my nervous system, helps me reconnect with nature, and brings me back to the present moment."
You’ll likely chat with me on one of our contact platforms or see me hosting your sauna session. I’ve been visiting Ty Sawna since the very beginning, it's actually where I met my best friend, Harri, founder of Ty Sawna. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of watching Ty Sawna grow into something truly special, and I’m honoured to now contribute to such an important part of Swansea’s wellbeing community.
Having grown up on the beaches of Gower, being at the sauna feels like a nostalgic escape from the stresses of everyday life. It’s a space where I can connect with like-minded people and fully immerse myself in the experience that Ty Sawna creates.
Alongside managing the saunas, I’m a qualified mental health nurse, and wellbeing is a true passion of mine. Working here allows me to take a holistic approach to supporting mental health and wellness, all while spending time in the beautiful surroundings of Oxwich Bay.
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.
