Today we’d like to introduce you to Fiona Hagerty.
Hi Fiona, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Four years ago, while navigating my own wellness journey, I met Candice Bruder, the Founder of Pure Sweat Sauna Studios. From the moment we connected, there was an undeniable alignment — a shared belief that true health begins from within, and that our bodies have an innate ability to thrive when supported with natural healing modalities and organic nourishment.
When Candice invited me to her beautiful Nashville studio, I accepted with curiosity. After my very first infrared sauna session at Pure Sweat, I felt something shift — not just physically, but energetically. I knew, in that moment, that this was the path I was meant to walk.
Candice had created a sanctuary for transformation, and through her vision, I found the perfect vessel to share my own healing experiences in a way that could help others. That became my purpose: to inspire and support those around me as they discover the restorative power of sauna, cold plunge, and intentional self-care — practices that cultivate connection, clarity, and a return to wholeness from within.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Since opening our doors, the journey has been nothing short of remarkable. The Savannah community has embraced us with warmth and authenticity, drawing together a circle of like-minded individuals who continue to inspire and learn from one another. At the heart of it all is our Wellness Lounge — the true nucleus of connection.
It’s more than a space; it’s a gathering place where clients meet wellness and fitness leaders, exchange stories, and share their personal journeys. Each conversation, each moment of connection, creates a ripple effect that uplifts others on their path. Watching this community take shape — witnessing people support, encourage, and heal alongside one another — is profoundly beautiful. It’s an honor to stand witness to it every day.
