Sober Mess Podcast Colm Doolan

In today's episode I sit down with the incredible Peter Priestley, the driving force behind Tigh 'N Alluis Sauna, the Irish Sweat House nestled amidst the breathtaking Wicklow mountains within Glencullen Adventure Park.

Peter wears many hats: Sauna Master, Yoga Instructor, and Breathwork Teacher. He shares his personal odyssey of how the age-old rituals of sauna and breathwork became transformative beacons in a dark period in his life, ultimately leading him to establish his own sauna sanctuary to guide others on their wellness journey.

Together, we delve into the profound realm of mental well-being, exploring the natural avenues such as exercise, breathwork, and cold therapy that pave the way to inner peace.
