About us

Butchers Heat was founded by Catrine Mannerup, whose passion for wellness, community, and the joy of sauna culture is at the heart of the company. Catrine’s journey began with a bold and unique vision: to bring the sauna experience to people, wherever they are. This vision took shape when she earned her truck driver’s license and transformed a former Danish Frogman Corps military truck into the iconic SaunaTruck.

This mobile sauna features abachi wood benches, original butcher tiles, atmospheric lighting, and a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy and immersive sauna experience that stimulates all the senses. With space for up to 12 people, the SaunaTruck travels between various locations in Copenhagen, offering regular saunagus sessions and private events such as corporate functions and bachelor parties.

In 2019, Butchers Heat expanded with the opening of a stationary sauna at Margretheholm Harbor/Refshaleøen. Here, members can enjoy access to the sauna six days a week, 11 months a year, while non-members are welcome to book individual sessions. Most recently, in 2024, we introduced our popular sauna tents, allowing everyone to enjoy the Butchers Heat experience in their backyard, cottage, or favorite outdoor spot.

At Butchers Heat, we are committed to providing an accessible and authentic sauna experience for all. Our saunagus sessions, led by trained gus masters, combine the therapeutic benefits of essential oils with aromatherapy, dispersing heat and scent to create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. Between saunagus sessions, guests can enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea—available all year round. We use only pure essential oils, chosen for their unique benefits, such as promoting relaxation, improving circulation, and cleansing the body.

Whether it’s in our stationary sauna, our mobile SaunaTruck, or your own portable sauna tent, Butchers Heat offers a high-quality, community-driven sauna experience that fosters well-being, relaxation, and a deep connection to sauna culture.

Welcome to Butchers Heat – where wellness meets freedom.
