Ancient rituals, for the modern being.
Nestled on the border of Fitzroy and Collingwood, our space is a reprieve from the outside world – a thoughtfully designed oasis where ancient techniques meet contemporary thinking.
Soak in the warmth of the magnesium pool, loosen your body in the sauna or hammam, embrace the chill of the cold plunge, experience the skilled hands of our massage therapists or take a moment for yourself in the relaxation lounge – it’s all here for you.
First opened in 2021, Sense Of Self is led by Freya Berwick and is a combination of her love of bringing people together and her passion for communal bathing, which was developed after years of living in Norway.
Sense Of Self exists to be a local watering hole for our guests, our team and our community. One where everybody is welcome to experience the connection, communion, and relaxation that comes from communal bathing.
Whether you’re joining us for a quick splash, a special occasion or a weekly practice, we can’t wait to welcome you.
Sense Of Self is a bathhouse and massage studio where you can come as you are and take what you need.
