An Ancestral Baltic Sauna Ritual for Deep Transformation
For Latvians, pirts is a mystical space, similar in essence to the Temazcal of Mesoamerican traditions — a ceremonial womb where we return to ourselves, enter altered states of consciousness, and experience healing beyond words. It is a humble and human ritual, accessible to all, yet deeply sacred and deserving of respect.
The Latvian pirts is more than a sauna. It is an ancient ritual space — a place of rebirth, healing, and communion with nature. Rooted in Baltic folk tradition, pirts has been practiced for generations by my ancestors — my great-grandparents, grandparents, and my mother, who carries deep knowledge of these rituals.
Although my roots are Baltic, I have found that these healing principles transcend geography. Through the wisdom of the four elements — Fire, Water, Earth, and Air — the pirts ritual can support profound transformation anywhere. I now offer this ancestral practice in Valencia, Spain, bringing elemental healing into the heart of a modern city. This is an invitation to reconnect with nature, with your body, and with the intelligence that already knows how to heal.
Fire
Fire warms, activates, and transforms. In the sauna, heat opens the body, softens resistance, and prepares us for release. Fire helps burn away what no longer serves — physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Water
Water carries emotion. Through steam, washing, and cold immersion, we work with emotional release, purification of the heart, and renewal. Water teaches surrender and flow.
Air
Steam, breath, voice, and sacred songs work with the air element. Air clears the mental space, bringing clarity and opening access to intuition and inner knowing.
Earth
Plants, herbs, salt, and whisks come from the Earth. They ground, nourish, protect, and restore the nervous system. Each plant carries both physiological benefits and energetic intelligence.
The Ritual Journey
Before We Meet
The ritual begins days before our physical meeting. I connect intuitively with your energy, prepare herbal blends, create the salt scrub, and mark it with Baltic sacred symbols and protective words specifically for you.
Intention Setting
We begin by setting intention and asking the natural forces and supportive spirits to guide the process with clarity and ease.
First Heating
We enter the sauna to gently warm the body. I work with herbal steam, sacred plants, and traditional pirts songs to open the space and invite the elements.
Cleansing
A salt and herbal blend—prepared intuitively from Mediterranean and Latvian plants—is applied to the body to cleanse on physical, emotional, and energetic levels. Through heat, massage, breath, voice, and song, we support the release of what is ready to be let go.
Herbal Whisk Massage
We return to the sauna for whisking using oak, linden, birch, juniper, and other plants.
Whisking:
Improves circulation and lymphatic flow
Relaxes muscles and joints
Stimulates the nervous system
Works energetically to release stagnation and restore vitality
Plants are invited as allies through song, symbols, and touch.
Depending on season and intuition, I work with:
Baltic Plants
Oak — strength, protection, masculine vitality
Linden — softness, heart healing, feminine energy
Birch — cleansing, renewal, emotional release
Juniper — protection, purification, grounding
Mugwort & Wormwood — intuition, vision, ancestral connection
Mediterranean Plants
Lavender — calming, nervous system balance
Rosemary — clarity, circulation, mental focus
Sage (Salvia) — purification, wisdom
Eucalyptus — breath, release, freshness
All plants are gentle and used with care. Allergies are always discussed in advance.
Plants Used
Cold-Water Immersion
The ritual culminates in cold water. Physically, it resets the nervous system and boosts circulation. Energetically, it seals the work and often brings the deepest altered state — clarity, presence, and rebirth.
Integration & Rest
Afterwards, you rest in silence. When ready, we gently integrate the experience through conversation, grounding, and reflection.

Language
Words are secondary in ritual work. I sing in my native language and guide intuitively. I speak English fluently and understand Spanish and Russian. Even without shared language, the ritual communicates beyond words.
An Invitation
The beauty of pirts is that it asks you to choose no belief, no doctrine, no path.
It simply offers what Mother Earth has always offered — warmth, water, plants, breath, and unconditional support.
This is a return to the body.
A return to nature.
A return to yourself.
