MELT WELL Sauna & Cold Plunge Studio

Amanda | Owner, Melt Well

Amanda is a Registered Nurse and self-described wellness advocate living in New Orleans, LA. Having grown up as the daughter of a fellow nurse and successful entrepreneur, she organically developed a passion for health, wellness, and entrepreneurship! Graduating with a BSN from Northwestern State University fueled her search for wellness-based mediums in the health industry.

Amanda worked as a Hospital nurse with Tulane Medical Center for five years before segueing into a clinical informatics role with Ochsner Health System. As a Fitness Instructor with Sculpt Studio, she was able to further her love for educating on healthy practices and safe movement.

Her quest for detox and exercise prompted Amanda’s journey to bring Infrared Sauna and Cold Plunge therapy to our community. After traveling and trying several studios, she finally found the perfect combination of hot and cold wellness sessions to share with clients.

Amanda opened her first Infrared Sauna Studio in New Orleans in 2020, and in less than a year doubled its sauna suites due to demand.

New to MELT WELL is a private Cold Plunge suite: allowing 3 -6 minute cold plunge sessions. Combining Infrared Sauna sessions + Cold Plunge therapy is the must-have practice for people who want peak performance. Aside from physiological benefits, many contrast practitioners report positive mental health effects as well.

With all that we come in contact with our daily lives, there's no doubt we're all in need of consistent, quality detox and the list of reported health benefits is astounding.
