Who we are 

Meet Josh Crowley,

A Williamsburg, VA native, mortgage broker, yoga enthusiast, and wellness advocate with a heart full of music! After honing his saxophone skills at Berklee College of Music and spending years touring with the rock band ,The Shack Band, he discovered the magic of connection—both on stage and off.

As a travel junkie, Josh has explored banyans, saunas, and plunges around the world, gathering inspiration from each experience. His journey took an exciting turn when he met his business partner, Liz, while attending her SUP yoga classes and breathwork workshops. Together, they envisioned bringing those rejuvenating experiences to Richmond through Sauna Plunge RVA.

Meet Liz Bowden,

A RVA native, trained coach, breathwork facilitator, and passionate nature enthusiast. She is dedicated to crafting transformative wellness experiences that empower and uplift her community.

After a decade of relying on pharmaceuticals and experiencing a profound sense of disconnection, she set out on a life-changing journey of various wellness practices including contrast therapy, specifically using her backyard wood-fire sauna before plunging in the November-cold James River. This journey not only helped her integrate her healing work but also re-regulate her nervous system, allowing her to find mental peace and reconnect with herself and the world around her.

Liz is excited to partner with Josh to provide even more opportunities for sauna and plunge experiences in her community. She envisions creating “adult playground” experiences that foster fun and connection.

You can also find Liz at ReWild Spirit, where she offers intuitive coaching, ecocentric mentorship, and wellness retreats.
