The Philosophy
FORESTUM is a private healing space beside the Daugava river in Ikšķile, Latvia.
One group at a time. Two practitioners. Nature, fire, and touch in deliberate sequence.
We believe in the right experiences, in the right order, with enough space for something to actually shift.
Every person who leaves should feel genuinely different from when they arrived. Not just relaxed. Different.
Stress is not a personality trait. Disconnection is not inevitable. The body knows how to regulate, release, and return to itself — it simply needs the right conditions and enough genuine care to do so.
That is what we create here.
FORESTUM sits on the banks of the Daugava river, surrounded by forest and meadow. It is private by design — one group at a time, full attention, nothing rushed. The setting is not decoration. Nature is part of what works here. The river, the forest, the seasons — all of it participates in what happens during your stay.
The Cabin
Meadowview cabin sits in open, private grounds in Ikšķile — 40 minutes from Riga, 100 metres from the Daugava river.
The view from the cabin looks out across a wide meadow toward the water. To the left, more open land stretching toward distant treelines. Behind the property, a gentle hill with an old apple garden and wild bushes. Birch trees stand between the Pirts and the old barn — the only sounds are wind, birds, and whatever the season brings.
Spacious without being exposed. Private without being isolated. The kind of place where the nervous system knows within minutes that it is safe to slow down.
The cabin is prepared before you arrive and is yours entirely for the duration of your stay.

Guest Stories
"We had never attended a professional sauna session before. We were pleasantly surprised — the heat, the care, the attention to what we actually needed. Rihards is a remarkable therapist. We even nicknamed him Gentle Giant. Lina received us warmly and made us feel completely at home. Wonderful memories — we will definitely come back."
