Clearlight®, Perspire Sauna Studio and HigherDOSE to Support Firefighters in California with Donated Infrared Sauna Sessions and Sauna Blankets
Clearlight®, Perspire Sauna Studio and HigherDOSE to Support Firefighters in California with Donated Infrared Sauna Sessions and Sauna Blankets
Leading Wellness Partners Bring Detoxifying Power of Infrared Therapy To First Responders
BERKELEY, CA., – January 21, 2025– In support of our heroes on the frontlines and in response to the devastating wildfires in Southern California, Clearlight®, the industry leader in infrared saunas and a pioneer in innovative health, Perspire Sauna Studio, the country’s largest full-spectrum infrared (IR) and red-light (RL) sauna therapy franchise, and HigherDOSE, the innovative at-home wellness technology brand, are providing much-needed wellness support to first responders battling the blazes. Through a donation of infrared sauna sessions and refurbished infrared sauna blankets, these leading wellness companies are expanding their long-standing partnerships to provide assistance to men and women currently fighting the fires.
Infrared saunas and blankets, which people report to be helpful in reducing stress, may play a critical role in helping firefighters who are exposed to harmful chemicals and toxins while fighting the wildfires. Infrared sessions support the body’s natural healing process by helping to rid itself of accumulated toxins.
“Firefighters face incredible physical and mental strain, especially during these unprecedented California wildfires. The chemicals and dangerous toxicants absorbed by their bodies pose a serious risk to their health and long-term well-being,” said Dr. Raleigh Duncan, founder and CEO at Clearlight. “We’re honored to support firefighters and hope they will find healing, restoration and recovery through the infrared sessions.”
The goal of this effort is to ensure that firefighters in the hardest-hit areas have easy access to recovery.
- Perspire Sauna Studio and Clearlight are providing access to sauna sessions in the proprietary infrared saunas designed by Clearlight at various Perspire locations throughout California.
- One free session will be available to eligible firefighters to ensure they get the full detox benefits of infrared therapy.
- HigherDOSE will donate 50 of their infrared sauna blankets, developed in partnership with Clearlight, to provide those battling the fires with the detoxifying benefits of an infrared sauna in the portable blankets.
”We’ve seen firsthand how infrared sessions can help firefighters manage the physical demands of their work, and we’re proud to collaborate with Clearlight and HigherDOSE on this initiative,” said Perspire Sauna Studio Founder and CEO Lee Braun. “With fires still raging, this is a moment for our companies to step up together and show the support our firefighters deserve. The wellness of our SoCal community is our priority, and this effort is a natural fit for us.”
“We’re deeply honored to partner with Perspire Sauna Studio and Clearlight to help heal our heroes. Firefighters put their lives on the line for our safety, and providing them with the restorative power of infrared therapy is a small but meaningful way to support their recovery after the immense challenges of the LA fires,” said Lauren Berlingeri, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, HigherDOSE.
Dr. Raleigh added: “Clearlight, Perspire and HigherDose are committed to supporting firefighters, not just during this current time of crisis, but as part of an ongoing effort to ensure their overall, long-term health.”
The trio of wellness brands are working on a number of initiatives that support individual firefighters, crews, retrofitting fire stations and conducting scientific research for their long term wellness. UCSF is currently using the Clearlight Curve® Far Infrared Sauna Dome to study whether infrared heating can promote the detoxification of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, heavy metals, and mycotoxins. Perspire has previously donated infrared sauna units to fire halls in both Orange County, California and Florida to aid in recovery. HigherDOSE has previously donated infrared sauna blankets to NYFD. Clearlight and HigherDOSE also offer special pricing for first responders and those who go the extra mile in their jobs via the ID.me program.

The team effort by Clearlight, Perspire and HigherDose comes at a time when local and California state officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom, have been present on the ground and vocal in their support of emergency responders, with plans for long-term recovery efforts.

Our expert-approved picks are effective, easy to use, and high-quality.
“The aesthetics are where this sauna shines in my opinion. The exterior is a beautiful mahogany and the entire front of the sauna and part of the ceiling are made of glass. There are “outside” lights that provide beautiful downlighting accents on the exterior as well as uplighting accents on the interior.”

“…I could feel my entire body relaxing and easing into sleep after each use. Some nights, I almost fell asleep in the sauna because I was in such a blissful state.”
Best With Light Therapy: Clearlight Full-Spectrum Infrared Sauna
For starters, the sauna boasts gorgeous craftsmanship paired with a glass skylight ceiling, a thick glass door, and double-pane windows. It also features a Bluetooth sound system that can be controlled by your phone or smart device, as well as a built-in charging station for your phone or tablet.

A cedar closet had served as overflow wardrobe storage, but the new walk-in closet rendered it redundant. The clients asked that this soothing retreat take its place. “Saunas are a beautiful thing, covered in wood. They exude relaxation,” Goldbach said.

How a Pair of Empty-Nesters Created Their Dream Home
With the kids out of the house, a Chicago couple who love to entertain splashed out their home with color, pattern and sumptuousness. One long-desired priority: a walk-in closet and dressing room.
By Elizabeth Sweet, April 24, 2024 at 12:46 pm ET
THE NAP OF LUXURY The ‘adulting’ of the Chicago apartment, by local firm En Masse Architecture & Design, included an upholstery upgrade to velvet in the living room.
“THEY JUST WANTED what they wanted,” said designer Lucas Goldbach of the Chicago couple whose apartment he helped transform into their version of empty-nester nirvana. The pair—he in finance, she in fashion—had lived in their seventh-floor home for 25 years and renovated twice, most recently while raising kids.

Now on their own, the well-traveled, adventuresome duo wanted to lean into pattern mixing and to paint walls gutsier colors, recalls Goldbach, a member of Chicago’s En Masse Architecture and Design, who devised the plan with founding partner Mike Shively. No longer wary of grape-juice stains and roughhousing, the homeowners could indulge in luxe fabrics like velvet and linen, and asked for decor that would charm the guests they frequently entertain.
A homework room off the kitchen became a cozy dining niche; a cedar closet, a sauna. To create the walk-in wardrobe the wife had imagined for years, they stole footage from a college-age son’s bedroom. “She is known among friends as a stylish person,” Goldbach said. To celebrate the dressing area’s completion, the couple threw a reveal party.
Today, the once practical, family-focused home is maximized for dressing up, hosting and enjoying life. Here, how design helped it reflect the personalities of its liberated owners.
Don’t Blow Out the Kitchen
When the couple was caught up in busy family life, their kitchen’s aesthetic was not a priority. Red-and-white checkerboard cork floors and white cabinets sufficed. The current renovation honors the building’s 1920s pedigree, with dark-grouted subway tile and a classic checkerboard floor. The period-proper black-and-white palette offers a reprieve

from the rest of the apartment’s rambunctious color. As another nod to the kitchen’s art deco vintage, Goldbach and team rejected an open plan, repeating arches and transoms found elsewhere in the home. “The clients still have guests crowding into the space when entertaining,” said Goldbach, “which is part of the fun of having folks over.”
Bang Out a Banquette
The study area off the kitchen became a high-design breakfast nook. Scalamandre’s geometric Amazink Velvet on the banquette and lively floral Yokata Bleu wallpaper share enough color that their energetic patterns mesh. The decor here and in the exuberant walk-

in closet, the first decorating schemes to be completed, set the tone for the rest of the apartment. “Those spaces had so much richness,” said Goldbach, “and the clients were like, ‘Oh, now that I see I could do it here, I want it everywhere.’ ”
Enliven the Living Room
A formal entertaining room once painted a subdued blue-gray, the parlor needed vibrancy now that it’s used more often. “They find reasons to celebrate,” said Goldbach of the couple. The new wall color, Benjamin Moore’s Fort Pierce Green, energized the space. “The previous iteration did not have the same level of richness,” said the designer. He kept the furniture layout intact but dialed up the level of saturation and pattern mixing, with assists from upholstery in punchy Fabricut textiles and an emerald Chinese art deco rug from 1stDibs.

Dress Up the Closet
Goldbach describes the wife as a “very bold, very confident dresser.” Fittingly, as a jumping-off point for her dream closet’s palette, she was drawn to Mary Katrantzou’s unrestrained Botanical Paradise Rug from the Rug Company. A citrine window seat and a Roman shade in a bubbly Voutsa print play supporting roles. Benjamin Moore’s Franklin White, a subtle peachy-pink, coats the walls and cabinets. “In a closet, you need a color that doesn’t affect how you look in the clothes you’re trying on,” said Goldbach. The shade delivers “a bouncing glow on the skin.”

Let Color Clothe You
The couple’s new dressing room, which claimed square footage from a closet, a hallway and their son’s bedroom, gave the husband more wardrobe storage, too. It also makes the pair’s bedroom suite an experience, says Goldbach, who notes that the wife “loves when rooms envelope you in a color.” Doing the job here: Benjamin Moore’s Regent Green on the cabinetry and the ceiling’s venetian-plaster coating. The same fabric found in the Roman shade of the wife’s walk-in closet reappears here as contents-concealing curtains.

Gussy Up the Guest Room
Goldbach and his team updated an existing guest room to suit visitors and their son (whose room became the new closet) when he is in town. Artwork and a zebra rug from his old digs make the son feel at home, but in the sophisticated context of a plaid, menswear-inspired wall covering by Phillip Jeffries, luxe bedding and midcentury Lane night tables, his pieces “live in a more grown-up way,” said Goldbach.

The clients asked that this soothing retreat take its place. “Saunas are a beautiful thing, covered in wood. They exude relaxation,” Goldbach said.

Lo Bosworth is among the increasing number of Americans who are prioritizing wellness spaces, amenities, and accents in their own homes.
Bosworth, founder of the beauty brand Love Wellness, technically has a home office in her New York City apartment. But, more often than not, she found herself working from her kitchen table, preferring the airier space over the closed-off room whose classification was rooted more in realtor-speak than reality. And since this is New York City, where every square foot is a precious (and pricey) one, Bosworth was determined not to let the “office” go to waste. After months of deliberation, she installed a Clearlight Infrared sauna and covered the rest of the room in gym flooring ordered off of Amazon. Now, she uses the space almost daily, either for a dry heat session or for streaming an online workout class. “I have some metal toxicity and residual Epstein-Barr I’m working on, and an infrared sweat helps to detoxify the body, especially for anyone dealing with any kind of autoimmune issue,” she says of her choice. “I converted the space that got no use into one I use frequently.”
