00:01:03.840 this existed in mountain i did in mountain by the way i had a project in mountain years ago
00:01:08.640 and i spent a month in the hotel down the street uh bidding on a project and you guys weren't here
00:01:15.120 so i was up and down this street i was all around uh and you know when did it start and how did it
00:01:22.000 start who whose brainchild is this because this is yeah magnificent sitting in the middle of
00:01:26.480 mungton absolutely happy to share so we've been here for almost 10 years now wow um we call it
00:01:32.560 our hidden little gem in mungton because we're tucked here in this little nice and neck hill area
00:01:37.600 Blue Sky is the brainchild of Jindyab Nolay.
00:01:43.460 She is the owner and co-founder and founder of SPA.
00:01:48.860 And it really stemmed from a visit to Iceland with her family.
00:01:53.540 She thought and saw how people over there kind of really have thermal therapy as part
00:02:00.020 of their lives.
00:02:01.360 And it helps make their lives better, help you live longer.
00:02:06.060 not only that for the physical body but also for the mind yeah Iceland did you
00:02:11.400 hear that everyone I talk about Norway all the time on shows and you know that
00:02:16.020 Scandinavian countries I love I love it and we're actually our next trip we're
00:02:20.900 going to Norway actually because one of the oil and gas companies that we spend
00:02:25.380 a lot of that talking to is actually from Norway so Equinor so we have a show
00:02:30.900 hopefully over there coming up which is really exciting so when we came in you
00:02:36.000 took us on a tour and we talked um part of truth hatred love tplmedia.ca we we have a health pillar
00:02:44.940 um and right away i was excited because one of our health pillars that we're promoting right now
00:02:50.000 we're doing a lot of starting to get a lot of research and show building done on is biohack
00:02:55.140 yeah right and for those of you you know you've watched the show you understand that biohacking
00:03:00.680 is a term for longevity it's a term for long health you guys have taken it to that next level
00:03:05.960 right you've taken it way past that um you're not only incorporating the red light beds and
00:03:11.240 lymphatic uh you know treatment yeah yeah you're doing more so tell us about what more you're
00:03:16.680 doing because when we went upstairs i was like oh wow next time i'm here for sure for sure um
00:03:22.040 so those we call them restorative treatments um as i shared earlier we like to put them as maybe
00:03:28.440 an add-on treatment to when you do a thermal therapy because it really gives another layer
00:03:33.240 of relaxation we also have people that just come in for that when they really need it um
00:03:38.920 they all target different things so like you said you have red light therapy which is good
00:03:43.160 for cellular regeneration it's good for muscle inflammation uh it's also for good collagen
00:03:49.480 production see that in the market um we also have preso therapy which is good for lymphatic drainage
00:03:55.800 then we have a neuro spa which i think is a favorite of the crowd um essentially what it is
00:04:03.000 is it allows you to have three hours of rem sleep in 30 minutes yeah i need that yeah we we actually
00:04:10.120 went for dinner with a sleep doctor the other day he's going to be on our show um and i learned so
00:04:15.080 much but he told us about this bit yes yeah yeah it's fantastic um a lot of tired new parents come
00:04:25.000 we also have a lot of ship workers that need it um and sometimes we just come for that every so
00:04:31.880 often um and then we are working on a fourth one that's coming up here in moncton and as well as
00:04:38.120 in our new location opening soon it's called the dry cloth bed oh nice where's your new location
00:04:44.760 in st andrew's in bratsvik yeah wow right by the sea we call it usfa by the sea yeah or we're there
00:04:50.840 next time because we're going to be doing as i mentioned we're doing doing at least three tours
00:04:56.040 up and down through new brunswick this summer uh doing different interviews and meeting different
00:05:01.160 people so and uh we have the gpl car and you'll see it all through your browser so we're excited
00:05:06.440 about it um so they will be come down here so take us down we come down to the the main uh area
00:05:13.080 the pools and everything else which is core plunges it's saunas it's uh uh you know relaxation
00:05:22.760 yeah tell us about everything that's here so the cycle in scandinavian um history or i guess
00:05:31.320 clay is hot cold relax and the idea behind that is really um jolting your system through the
00:05:40.440 exchange of hot than cold and then allowing your body to recoup from that just a little bit so
00:05:47.480 the way we've designed our facilities here really strongly based on all of that so for heat we have
00:05:53.880 three versions um we have barrel sauna which is less hot it's dry heat but it's not as hot as our
00:06:01.480 dry sauna um which can go up to um 175 fahrenheit up to 190 depending on the day it's wood it'll
00:06:11.320 change then we have our steams on as well and something that's um unique for us here that a
00:06:17.800 lot of people come back for is the scent i'm not sure if you installed it oh yeah we opened the
00:06:22.680 door when we were filming yeah what is it it's eucalyptus yeah that's what i thought yeah and it
00:06:28.200 It really aids in that additional layer of taking a deep breath in in this game sauna.
00:06:34.680 It just aids in that.
00:06:37.020 And then once people have their filling of heat, which is normally 15 to 20 minutes,
00:06:42.360 some people can only go for 10.
00:06:45.200 We have two options for cold.
00:06:47.540 So we have the cold plunge bucket.
00:06:50.020 So you pull a bucket down and it dows the same water.
00:06:53.640 That water is tap water.
00:06:55.300 so whatever the tap water is is what it feels like and then we have a cold punch pool okay
00:07:01.500 so you're you're basically getting your therapy and your inflammation uh therapy through hot cold
00:07:08.140 hot cold yes as well as all the great things from the elliptical yes and then you have some of those
00:07:14.060 the actual whirlpool saunas and everything else out here the the pools out here anything go into
00:07:19.680 after yes so we have um these are a relaxation pool so we have the hot pool here and then we
00:07:25.840 have little pockets around the property including this one where people relax after because you can
00:07:31.600 imagine after doing that cycle your body goes into this deep state of relaxation where sometimes
00:07:39.760 some people it really feels like they need to sleep just a little yeah um and so we we built
00:07:46.400 different areas around the property that gives those people a chance to choose and relax how
00:07:52.560 they want to relax and then you restart the cycle yeah yeah i get it i get it no it's wonderful
00:07:58.960 tell me about the team because when i came in you know i met you uh met the other young lady
00:08:04.720 backgrounds because you guys have interesting backgrounds that i should tie into this business
00:08:08.960 Yeah. Um, the team here, actually USVA, um,
00:08:13.320 Mugdin has always been a more female center team right now.
00:08:17.720 We are fully female. Um, proud of that.
00:08:22.400 It's always fun. Um, and then where it comes to,
00:08:27.320 I guess how we work is we're all here.
00:08:30.520 We're all people that really believe in wellness. Um,
00:08:34.200 when we hire people to be part of USVA,
00:08:36.400 that's always a big core filler of what we're looking for.
00:08:40.840 We need people who understand why wellness is important in life and already
00:08:46.820 incorporated into their lifestyle as just part of a natural thing.
00:08:50.440 And wellness can look like different things to people.
00:08:53.380 Um, it could be, you know, reading a book or going to the beach or something like
00:08:59.160 that, but everybody that works here are actually users of the spa and
00:09:05.480 happen um for myself i've worked in the hotel industry for so long um and when i was in the
00:09:13.540 hotel industry um this was my sanctuary before i actually started working here every time it was
00:09:20.480 like you know after busy weeks of operations and it never stops there 24 7 my days off i would come
00:09:27.720 here and i would use this as a guest before i even ended up joining the team oh good so you're
00:09:36.440 you're a customer and then actually got on the team that's amazing yeah so you you got both sides
00:09:41.400 of the equation yeah yeah oh that that's so cool so my wife and i which is interesting we we got
00:09:47.480 into this or the you know the longevity we called biohacking health years ago and we've incorporated
00:09:55.560 even our diet now. So we're eating out of fasting, you know, grass-fed food.
