Hi, I am Maxine Panko. I am a pastry chef, seamstress, stained glass artist, alpine lake swimmer, and sauna enthusiast. Born and raised on Maui, I have always been connected to the magic of the natural world. I love spending time with my friends and dog, Jelly Bean, hiking, swimming, and dancing at shows.

In 2023, my husband, Matthew, an artisan and contractor, brought my vision of a mobile sauna to life.

Sunshine Saunas honors the natural world, community, and health. The sauna is available for rentals and includes cut wood (the stove is wood burning), delivery and set-up, and additional services depending on your needs. Let Sunshine Saunas elevate your mountain experience. We’d be honored to brighten your vacation, recovery, or event!

Thank you for your interest in Sunshine Saunas. Mahalo!
