ABBOTSFORD, BC – Sweat & Shiver has quickly become a standout in Abbotsford’s wellness sector, offering private infrared saunas and cold-plunge and IV vitamin therapy experiences designed to support recovery, stress reduction, and overall well-being. Opening in early 2025, the business has already earned significant recognition, taking home New Business of the Year at the Annual Abbotsford Business Excellence Awards.

Launching a specialized wellness facility requires considerable upfront investment, and early on, Sweat & Shiver faced a lack of funding needed to move from concept to commercial space. That’s when founders, Eric Modghill and Konnor Mitterer approached Community Futures South Fraser for support, where they received tailored guidance, business coaching, and a start-up loan that enabled them to move forward with their build-out and launch.

With this foundation in place, Sweat & Shiver opened its doors to strong community interest and steady growth. Their focus on accessible, high-quality wellness services has resonated with clients seeking structured recovery options and private, modern facilities.

Reflecting on the recognition and the support they received, the founders shared:
“Beyond blessed to bring home New Business of the Year at the 29th Annual Business Excellence Awards for Sweat & Shiver. Huge thank you to the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce for hosting such an amazing event, and to Community Futures South Fraser for all their support, and an honour to receive the award from the Abbotsford Canucks!”

Today, Sweat & Shiver is positioned for continued growth, supported by a strong client base and a clear vision for the future. Their journey demonstrates how targeted guidance and flexible financing from Community Futures can help new entrepreneurs overcome early barriers, establish sustainable operations, and contribute to their local economy.
