Our story

The Family Behind the Craft

This journey didn’t start with a business plan. It started in the woods of Ontario, where Elijah spent his childhood working with his father, a carpenter. From the age of five, he was learning how to measure, build, and respect the process. And somewhere between the sawdust and early mornings, he fell in love with craftsmanship.

Back then, saunas weren’t a trend. They were part of his family’s life to reconnect, rest, and sweat through the seasons.

Years later, while Elijah built a career as a filmmaker, always drawn to story and stillness through a different medium, he never stopped creating with his hands. On weekends and in between productions, there were always sketches, cabin builds, cold plunges in the making.

Living in Toronto no longer matched the rhythm we wanted for our growing family. So we left the city behind and moved toward something simpler, something truer. Back to building something that mattered not just for us, but for others too.

That’s how Marchand Sauna & Co. came to life.

We create handcrafted saunas and outdoor wellness spaces with care, intention, and soul. Every piece is made with the same energy we bring into our own home: warmth, presence, and a respect for slow, meaningful living.

This is more than a company, it’s a family-built legacy. From our family to yours.
