𒀱 Words from the steam 𒀱

Masha — Group Ritual

From the heart and soul — the spaces Silvija holds invite you back to the rawness of your roots. Without needing many words, the scent of the plants she gathers and the gentle steam from her whisks open the pores, the senses, and something deeper within.

She carries Lithuania's sacred heritage with reverence and brings its wisdom into the city — a bridge between ancestral roots and modern life. It is rare to meet someone who can hold such depth with such accessibility.

Mark — 1:1 Private Ritual

Nothing I've experienced before compares to this. It felt like being taken into the essence of a Lithuanian forest — deeply relaxing, grounding and unlike anything else.

Mark L — 1:1 Ritual

I have previously had leaf whisking treatments at various banyas in London and abroad, but nothing like this. These previous treatments were often just ten minutes long, whereas Silvija's treatments can take up an entire session.

Tara Taylor — Paired Ritual

The session had a profound impact on me, and I felt truly cared for. My body felt like a different vessel when I left — grounded, kind, and gently energized.

Neringa Barsiene — Group Ritual

An absolute hidden gem. The sauna experience itself is exceptional. It's clear that a lot of care and passion has gone into creating an experience rather than just a service.

Ambika Berczuk — Group Ritual

Silvija is the most incredible sauna host. She's so knowledgeable and inspiring and takes you back to an earth before this modern world. I felt soothed and nourished after my sauna.

Garwyn Linnell — Group Ritual

The space that Silvija holds in the sauna is so nourishing. Her knowledge of the plants she brings into the space is vast, and I always come out of a session feeling like a new version of myself.

Louise Smith — Group Ritual

An amazing experience — the natural soothing aromas were so powerful. Everything was taken at our own pace and led to us feeling intensely renewed and relaxed. We will be back.

Claire Fox — Women's Ritual

What an incredibly nourishing and rejuvenating experience. The ritual was beautifully prepared, thoughtful and very relaxing. Silvija has an incredible depth of knowledge and relationship with the practice.

Leon — Group Ritual

So much love, care, presence and holding. This has really set a high benchmark for a sauna ritual for me.

Shaun Maltese — Group Ritual

I loved it and once finished, I immediately booked the next one. Loved the energy, the care and the knowledge Silvija put into the session. I'm totally hooked.

Tadas — Group Ritual

Amazing experience at a traditional Lithuanian pirtis ritual. Amazing atmosphere, amazing smells, and after the session you feel much younger.

If you’ve sat in the heat, rested between rounds, or shared a moment in the sauna, you’re warmly invited to leave a few words here.

Reflections don’t need to be polished or perfect. A sentence, a feeling, or a moment you’re still carrying is more than enough.

These words help others understand what Birch House Rituals feels like — and they help me continue to shape the work with care.
