Pensacola, Fla. – September 20, 2026 -- A new private infrared sauna and light therapy studio is preparing to open at 6235 N Davis Hwy., Ste. 105-106, giving Pensacola residents a dedicated space for post-workout recovery.
First-time owners built the studio around a gap they felt themselves
Clara Kim, a longtime Pensacola resident, and Ryan Roberts founded BEEM Light Sauna Pensacola after searching for a local spot offering the wellness treatments they already sought out elsewhere. Neither had run a business before; the project took them through learning commercial real estate and construction while assembling a team from scratch.
The studio pairs private and social sauna options with light therapy suites
Guests can choose a solo infrared sauna session, a social sauna experience with friends, or a private light therapy suite. The format is designed to let each visit serve a different purpose, whether that's unwinding after exercise or simply stepping away from a busy schedule.
"I've wanted a place like this in Pensacola for a long time," Kim said. "There are so many people here who prioritize their health and fitness, and we're excited to give them a dedicated place to focus on the recovery side of that equation."
New guests get two free sessions before paying for visits
To introduce the concept, the studio is offering two complimentary sessions to first-time visitors. Kim said details like the post-light-session glow, the sauna's warmth, and a cold mint towel handed out afterward are easier to understand in person than to describe.
The studio has already donated to two local nonprofits
Ahead of opening, BEEM Pensacola supported Big Brothers Big Sisters and Hope Above Fear through raffle donations. The owners plan to continue building ties with area businesses and community organizations as the studio establishes itself.
BEEM sessions are eligible for HSA/FSA spending. The Pensacola location joins a nationwide network of 81 locally owned and operated BEEM studios.
