Being in the healthcare field for the past 15 years, I have come to realize that one of the major issues facing people today is the ability to detoxify the tissues of the body. This one issue is a core determining factor for longevity and quality of life. On both a professional and personal level, if I had to pick one therapy to help insure my clients and families health it would be a Vision infrared sauna. I picked Vision Saunas for both my clinics and my home, not only because of the outstanding health benefits but also based on the excellent warranty and customer service that is provided by Steve Harriman at Solaris Marketing. Thanks Steve.

Mr. Steve Harriman,
Soft Heat Home Saunas

Dear Mr. Harriman:

Thank you for our wonderful Soft Heat Far Infrared sauna. We converted our hot tub spa area into a new Soft Heat Sauna spa and have seen the useage in the new sauna increase substantially. As we have visitors sign in when they use the sauna we've noted visits in a two-month timeframe in the Soft Heat Sauna have increased to approximately 145 visits from 20 visits within the same timeframe in the old hot tub, an incredible increase in useage and positive feedback from the residents.

Some of the positive comments we've received over the past few months have included:

1. The sauna is a relaxing and comfortable way to ease the pains of the day.
2. I've been sleeping better, throughout the entire night without awakening, after using the sauna in the afternoon for about 20 minutes.
3. The warmth of the sauna and the relaxing music have been delightful. I hope to use the sauna every day.
4. Residents have also commented on the pain relieving properties of the sauna, decreasing their arthritis pain, and we've also had comments on how nice their skin was looking after regular use of the sauna.

I understand the sauna has the potential to eliminate harmful toxins and boost the immune system response. Some of our seniors did comment that overall they were generally feeling much better following regular visits in the sauna. The sauna has been ideal for new residents to meet others and to socialize in a warm and healthy setting. We are thankful we have purchased our Soft Heat Sauna and would recommend it to other senior's residences.

Should you have any questions, kindly contact the undersigned. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Tina Skodic

"Just a short note to let you know that we are thoroughly pleased with our Soft Heat Sauna. It allows our members and athletes to 'preheat' muscle tissue before their workouts thus cutting down on the length of time taken to warm up before beginning their actual work out regimen. We find that a good deal of our members utilize the unit after their work outs and have had a great deal of positive feedback in this regard. Its compact size, low maintenance and minimal electrical consumption will save us substantially over the years. Again, the Soft Heat Sauna is an important addition to our facility."

... The minimal maintenance and durability of these units are fantastic. Our members absolutely love them, and we are yet to hear a negative comment on them. I am currently building a new home and have plans to install a 4x6 unit in my home.

"Dear Steve,

I wish to thank you for introducing me for the purchase of one of your Soft Heat Infrared Sauna as a Christmas Gift for my family in 2005. I am pleased to inform you the results after we have used it for more than one year.

I am a retired medical consultant, after my retirement I was found myself in pre-diabetic condition with my fasting blood sugar and HbA1c higher than the normal level, and my BMI was constantly above 25% in the over-weight zone in spite of regular exercises in gymnasium with careful watching on my diet. At the same time I sustained an injury to my right knee joint in an accident resulting to a linear crack in my right medical menicus cartilage, which was confirmed by MRI., and since then I had some persistent dull aching pain over my right knee joint, which was not relieved by medication together with physiotherapy for several months.

Now I have been using the Soft Heat Infrared Sauna for more than one year. To my astonishment, I have discovered that the problem with my right knee joint has gone, and my fasting blood sugar as well as HBA1c have been returned back to the normal level. My BMI is now well below 25% to the normal healthy body weight zone, as I have lost more than ten pounds in weight for the past one year.

In my opinion, I would highly recommend to all my friends for the purchase of this Soft Heat Infrared Sauna to maintain their healthy condition."

"It is a pleasure to add our testimonial to the growing list of satisfied customers of Soft Heat Saunas.

After conducting a great deal of research regarding the costs and benefits of a home sauna we concluded that Soft Heat was the best value for our money. We purchased our sauna 4 months ago and have enjoyed it regularly about 5 times per week. It has not only made the winter months bearable but also allowed us to avoid both colds and flu. We have found an improvement in the softness and appearance of our skin and the sauna has become a welcome addition to our fitness routine.

We highly recommend Soft Heat and especially endorse Steve Harriman as a courteous, informed and professional dealer. Steve is a "man of his word".

His prompt and punctual delivery and installation were problem-free. We were using our sauna immediately and ever since. We are learning that a Soft Heat Sauna is an investment towards better health and well-being. Thank you Steve!"

"I want to thank you for the very pleasant experience and personal attention you gave us with the recent purchase of our Soft Heat Sauna. When my wife and I met you at the Home and Cottage Show in 2006, we were very impressed with your presentation on infra red saunas. We were not aware such a product existed as we were only familiar with wet saunas. The brochures and information which you provided us sure helped in making our decision the right one.

The Soft Heat Sauna is very pleasant and relaxing to use. We are very impressed by the elegant design and the workmanship. It is a beautiful piece of furniture and is the highlight of the basement. People have asked us how we got it in the cottage. They find it hard to believe it is assembled in sections. It looks like it was built in the room, every joint is tight and each wall panel lines up perfectly. The cedar panels and finish are first class. The smoked glass door and window with the overhead lighting complement the entire unit.

Using the sauna sure relieves the stress at the end of the day. We enjoy relaxing in the infra red sauna while reading a favorite book and listening to a favorite CD on the built in stereo system.

The whole experience of buying a Soft Heat Sauna was great and surpassed our expectations. Your service and follow up after the sale where greatly appreciated. Your professionalism and personal attention made our decision a pleasant and enjoyable experience. I am sure we will discover more good things as we continue to use it. I would definitely pass on your name to future prospective customers."

I can't begin to tell you how satisfied we are with our infrared saunas! My members have been very complimentary of units, and they are being used continually throughout the day. Not only is the infrared component so much better than the traditional heat element, but the units look great too!

I honestly appreciate your hard work, follow-up, and I would also like to offer thanks to you and Soft Heat for providing a great product. I have attached two photos for your review...don't they look great!

Thank you for assisting me in my purchase of the sauna!
I spoke with my brother and he stated, sometimes he has a couple of hours to kill during the week and could maybe he call you and arrange a more suitable time for him to pick up the sauna???

Please let me know and I will forward your number to him.
Thank you again for assisting me. It really means the world to me that you are very personable and educated in your product.

"I'm thrilled with the purchase of my infrared sauna. It has played an integral part in the success of my weight loss program. I am so pleased, that I highly recommend it to every person who would like to burn calories the easy way."

Barb Bakke,
Weight management specialist,

I have been going into the Far-Infrared Sauna 4-6 days per week. I LOVE IT! The Sauna has helped me:

• Break through a weight plateau
• Relief from joint pain
• Softer skin and more energy
• I had a problem with a dry spot 3 inches x 2 inches on my neck. I had tried all kinds of creams and it just wouldn't go away. Well, within the first 2 weeks it disappeared! I also thought I was getting a bone spur on my right heel and after a few days the pain was gone. I had tried walking in the past, but could only walk for about 20 minutes because of a pain in my thigh. After 3 weeks of going into the sauna, I am now able to walk 45 minutes and the pain has not returned. I would recommend this to anyone. It's Wonderful...

I own a Ladies only health club. I had been looking to add a profit center to my club that would also be a health benefit to my members. I researched the benefits of the Far- Infrared Sauna and made the decision to add a 2 person unit to my club. What an awesome product Soft Heat has created, it was very easy to install and is now generating over $1000.00 per month in sauna memberships. But most importantly it is benefiting my members with health problems, to include Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Arthritis etc. I would recommend this product to any owner of a health club. We need to help people on the inside as well as the outside.

"I have only had my Soft Heat Sauna for a few days, but already I am noticing just how much better I am feeling....worsening arthritis....What a difference! I now find that I can stop almost completely, my intake of pain-killing remedies. Just one half hour session at 135F and I am pain free for up to five hours. My only regret is that I did not buy one of your fine units when my wife first suggested it.

It has been especially nice to come home to after skiing and really warm up. Now that skiing season is over we'll have to devise another reason to use it - perhaps just the happy, clean feeling after a sauna.

I would like to pass on the many compliments we received concerning the quality of craftsmanship. People were very impressed with the extra effort that has gone into these units.

Ursula O.,

I found the service from the salesman to be very professional and not pushy at all. The infrared sauna itself was very easy to put together with the help of the salesman on the weekend. After 15 minutes of assembly, we just plugged it in and enjoyed it that very same day and every day after that. Thanks for a great product Soft Heat". P.S. "My two cats also love the sauna every time I use it.

Dear Mr. Harriman,

It is now three months since the delivery of my Soft Heat sauna and I would like to share with you my findings.

I felt I needed about three months use of the sauna to measure for myself what it does for me. As I mentioned, I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and so my first consideration is that the building materials do not adversely affect me. I have no problem with the wood or the sauna as a whole, which is a pleasure. For me, I realized that I needed to exercise and drink two glasses of water before taking my sauna to encourage the best elimination of toxins through perspiration. Given the very nature of far-infrared rays, the penetration of the heat is deep enough to promote profuse sweating. To my amazement for the next couple of days I noticed a greater tolerance level of fragrances and petroleum by-products which normally bother me and pose limitations especially in the workplace. I also notice increased flexibility and a deeper state of sleep at night. These three things greatly improve my quality of life. So for me, the effectiveness of the detoxification is measurable and significant.

I think that if I had anything to add, I would say two things: a) that it is important to replenish your trace minerals when taking a sauna; and b) to hold off putting anything on your skin after your sauna or shower, as your body is still cooling down and eliminating toxins. Putting lotions or oils on afterwards would only block this process by trapping the toxins on top of your skin only to be reabsorbed.

As I continue to use my sauna it will be interesting to review any changes in another three months time.

Yours sincerely,
Debbie Laframboise

Steve, just wanted to let you know how much we like the 3-person sauna we purchased off you a few months back. The workmanship is flawless, the relaxation I experience after a 30 minute sauna is fantastic. I don't regret buying this piece of comfort and detox for a second. It sure makes the cold gray winter more tolerable. The only problem we have had is keeping the cat and dog out of the sauna as they think their getting a sun bath when they get in. We were impressed with your handling of our business (i.e. no added costs, delivery when you promised, setup and check of the sauna upon delivery, and you were a pleasant guy as well. Keep up the good work.

Glen Culp

My husband and I purchased our sauna 3 months ago from Steve Harriman - Soft Heat Home Saunas. It was a pleasure dealing with Steve, a delivery date set and executed with no problems. The unit is truly an excellent product and we enjoy it everyday after work, to relax. This is a real luxury and everyone should have one in their home.

It has been almost a year and I am as excited to use it now as I was when I first purchased it. It is not only very enjoyable but with its many health benefits it just makes so much more sense to have one in your home. There are many manufacturers out there and claims on why their particular FIR sauna is the best. Unfortunately they often contradict each other and I had a real difficulty in choosing one because I didn' t know who to believe anymore. However, Steve made my decision easy; he addressed all my questions with in depth knowledge, professionalism and objectiveness and offered also very competitive prices on his products. I highly recommend him and have no hesitation in going back to him if I decide to buy one more FIR sauna.

Tom Bertelli (CNP)

I've had my Soft Heat Sauna now for over eight months. It's performed unbelievably. I've lost over 20 lbs since the purchase and it has become a routine part of my workout. I want to thank you personally for all your support in the installation and operation of the unit. I have been enthusiastically promoting it to my friends and business associates. Once again thank you Steve.

Peter O'Neill
President of O'Neill Enterprises

I would not want to live without my Soft Heat Sauna. We installed the large corner unit in our new home last fall and I use it just about every morning. I have noticed that my circulation has improved and I am actually losing the cellulite on the backs of my legs. The air in the sauna is so comfortable that I can reflect and read before my day begins and as a bonus realize all the health benefits from the infrared heat. We did have some questions during installation. Your prompt attention and help on site to solve those problems was much appreciated.

Louise Saunders

You may recall that in December we phoned you regarding your Aspen 60" 3-Person sauna. My husband was diagnosed with ALS and while the main stream medical people have no solution or treatment out daughter convinced us to try naturopathic methods. Our naturopathic doctor has had success with others diagnosed with ALS and is a strong proponent of saunas as a method of detoxing the body, the theory being that heavy metals and other toxins bring on ALS symptoms or can mimic ALS symptoms.

When you managed to get the sauna to us in record time we were able to get friends to help us put the sauna together before Christmas. We were all surprised at how easily it was to take the pieces out of the box and construct the sauna. I read the instructions aloud while the other three held the pieces and constructed the sauna. Start to finish I don't think it took us more than an hour to put the sauna together. That same day my husband took his first sauna and since then has had a nice long, sweat producing, toxin eliminating sauna every day.

Thanks again for a superior product, great service and for the chance at good health this new sauna gives us both.
