About me
Kate, an American living in Oslo, has spent her career thus far guiding design-driven innovation within a wide range of global organisations in San Francisco, London, Oslo, and across Europe. Now, after six years of building a regular sauna practice (without which she cannot live without), she will bring the best part of her life in Norway home to the US and open Freesk floating sauna in upstate New York, USA, next year.
My organisation
Freesk is a floating Finnish sauna in upstate New York, USA. Our name is inspired by the Norwegian word “frisk,” which means healthy, invigorating, and full of life. Freesk offers communal drop-in sessions, private rentals, annual and monthly memberships, rituals and ceremonies, custom sensory experiences, special events, and partnerships with local businesses and hotels. An affordable price point makes the sauna an accessible part of daily life and fosters social connection within the local community, especially in northern climates during the cold and dark winter season.
