About Us

Nomadic Fire Mobile Sauna was founded by Rachel Swanson, LCSW, a psychotherapist who was feeling burned out after 15 years in the biz.  She wanted to continue her pursuit and support of health and wellness and when the Sauna Club (www.mysaunaclub.com) came near her hometown, she was an immediate and avid fan.  She then, in true Rachel fashion, did a deep dive and gained a thorough understanding of the health benefits and enjoyment of relaxing in a hot sauna.  Being an ultra trail runner and nature aficionado, she always wanted to move to the mountains when her youngest went off to college.  And off he went…!  What better way to combine the things she loves?  Mountains, health, wellness, and sauna!  Her goal is to create something unique that improves customers quality of life.  

​

Rachel lives most of the time in Colorado and maintains a small private practice in both traditional and psychedelic assisted therapy.  However, during most holidays and the summers, you can find her swimming in Lake Michigan and soaking up the very best Chicago has to offer, promoting wellness in all areas of life - mind, body, and soul.
