About

Alexander Dergunov

The rare specialist who has designed, built and operated wellness venues — and made every expensive decision with his own money.

I'm an entrepreneur, osteopathic practitioner and sauna specialist with more than two decades of experience creating wellness businesses in Canada.

Over the years I've developed spa concepts, built facilities, operated wellness centres, managed hospitality teams and designed guest experiences that combine traditional European sauna culture with modern business practices. My own projects include:

Today I help entrepreneurs and property owners avoid expensive mistakes and successfully bring their projects to life — and keep supporting them once the doors open, through operations, optimization, automation and growth.

The blueprint, and the building

One build, start to finish — the mobile sauna lounge at Hot Rock Spa in Carp:

I drew it, I built it, and I ran it. That's the whole idea behind Spa Blueprint — real steps from a dream to opening day, and beyond.
