Picture this – you’re tucked snugly in bed by 9pm with an alarm set for 4am, and you’re doing this WILLINGLY. Magnesium spray? Check. Weighted blanket? Check. Cosy eye mask? Check. And away you drift into a sweet, early slumber.
Why would anyone do this, you might ask? Well we’ve got the hookup on a free wellness sauna & cold plunge ritual called “Melt at Dawn” that might just transform your health and social life. It’s available at 5am every. single. morning at the brand new Melt Saunas wellness studio in Subiaco, and yes, again, it’s 100% free.
In a world that feels louder and more disconnected than ever, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for yourself is just show up – even better when you’re showing up in a place built for presence, connection and community (that’s Melt BTW).
Softly entering Forrest Street in Subiaco, Melt have made waves in the community by offering free daily sauna and cold plunge sessions to those brave enough to get up before 5am and partake in sweaty sauna self-care, mindful chats with other early birds & the chilliest of waters in the plunge pool. It’s not a trend, it’s not a gimmick, it’s a quiet movement toward something deeper: shared experience, early morning ritual, and real human connection. How cool is that? (Literally).

Saunas and cold plunges remind us that the focus is not just about physical health anymore. We have to focus on creating a routine for our mental health too. ‘Melt at Dawn’ is for those wanting a little more belonging, a place to recover and connect with themselves, breath by breath. Whether you’re navigating burnout, seeking clarity and conversation, or simply needing a moment of stillness, this space holds you, without expectation. Melt offers a ‘more chat’ and ‘less chat’ option when entering the saunas so you can choose to be at the right place at the right time, depending how your soul is feeling that day.
It might just be me, but there’s something powerful about being in the dark early morning hours with strangers who slowly become familiar, week after week. You sit in the heat, with areas you didn’t even know could sweat getting in on the action, plunge into the icy cold, and leave with a sense that you’ve done something kind for yourself and can tackle the day head on.

These sessions are Melt’s way of giving back to the community each day, but if you can and you feel called to give, donations from attendees during these sessions go toward supporting Beyond Blue, helping fund life-changing mental health services across Australia.
Meaning every 5am visit can ripple outward, supporting others too.
So jump into your comfiest PJ’s, hit the hay early, and set that crack-of-dawn alarm – mental clarity, reinvigoration, and maybe even a few new friendships, await. But be warned! These sessions are so popular they often book out a couple of weeks in advance – hop to it and make a Melt at Dawn booking here.
Let me know in the comments if you’re brave enough to take the early morning plunge!

Be well,
xoxo
