beem® Light Sauna

A Game-Changing Wellness Experience

Wellness today is more than just eating the right things and doing the right workouts. It is about creating intentional moments to restore your body and mind. One place that may help you achieve this is beem® Light Sauna. beem® offers a modern spa-like atmosphere with two rejuvenating RED Light Therapy beds, five Infared saunas, plus one Advanced Light Therapy bed. All of these are a in private, personal suite. By combining soothing infrared warmth with rejuvenating light therapy, it provides a gentle yet powerful way to unwind, recharge, and support overall well-being. 

 

From easing everyday muscle tension to promoting glowing skin and better muscle recovery, beem® turns self-care into something both accessible and transformative—an experience that feels indulgent while delivering real health benefits. As beem® Light Sauna member Chris B. states, “beem is my Happy Place! I love walking in to be greeted with a smile! I cherish my sauna time and LOVE the blue, green, and red light therapy bed. SO relaxing. It’s like a reset button for my skin, joints, metabolism, and mood. LOVE IT!” 

 

Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking with owner Tammy Bailey and general manager Kaylyn Elbert about the amazing, healing space they have created. I asked Tammy how she became involved with beem®. After the pandemic, she says, she was looking for a wellness routine that anyone and everyone could participate in, and she found light therapy. “It doesn’t require a lot of physicality,” she points out, “and there really isn’t anyone who can’t find a benefit from it.” Kaylyn got involved with beem® as a member first and loved it so much she wanted to help share it with other people. “The biggest surprise for me has been the community that has formed here,” she says. “We love hearing our members’ wellness journeys and their personal stories.”

 

Tammy is excited to share that they are celebrating their two-year anniversary this month. “We have a lot of ‘founding members’ who continue to come because they say they just feel so fantastic and they just can’t not be here,” she says. “And we have started to see doctors recommending red light therapy to their patients for various reasons, as well.” The many benefits of light therapy include removing toxins from the body, reducing stress, improving skin, pain relief, boosting immunity, and boosting metabolism. Some studies suggest that a single session can burn up to 600 calories. 

 

Kaylyn is excited to talk about their newest addition, the Advanced Light Therapy bed. “This bed has the ability to do not only red light but also blue light and green light. Blue light is good for skin health and is also good for your mood. Think ‘blue for the blues’ when there is not a lot of sunlight! Green is really good for evening the skin tone but it’s also really good for pain relief, athletic performance, and muscle recovery. Red light energizes your cells. You put those three together and you have the rock star of light therapy.” 

 

They offer different light protocols to accommodate different needs. For example, Kaylyn says, “with the RGB protocol, you get blue light only for five minutes, all the colors for five minutes, then the last 10 minutes is green and red. So you end up with 10 minutes of blue and 15 minutes of green and red.” Protocols last about 15 to 20 minutes, Kaylyn notes, because the body can only absorb so much light at a time. “That timeframe is kind of the sweet spot, and you can do it every day.”

 

The Omaha Loveland location of beem® Light Sauna will be participating in some upcoming studies, including one on the effectiveness of green light for weight loss and another on the effects of red light on testosterone. They previously participated in a study on blue light for acne. beem® pulls participants from members across the country for studies like these. The studies are important, Tammy notes, because members want to know that the light therapies really provide the benefits they advertise.
