Halotherapy is a natural treatment for respiratory issues, skin conditions, and allergies. Salt has anti-bacterial, disinfectant, and anti-inflammatory qualities, absorbing allergens, toxins, and moisture in the respiratory system.
Halotherapy, also known as Dry Salt therapy, offers a revitalizing experience in the serene comfort of our Himalayan Salt Room that fits 8 people.
The amber glow of backlit Himalayan salt bricks, create a sense of warmth and serenity while elevating serotonin levels – naturally boosting your mood.
During the 30-minute therapy, medical-grade salt is ground into tiny particles and dispersed into the air, creating a fine, breathable mist. This microclimate helps to cleanse the respiratory system, improve skin conditions, reduce stress, enhance lung function, and boost immunity.
The combined effects of the salt-infused air and the soothing ambiance make Halotherapy a powerful non-invasive and drug-free tool for relaxation and healing.
Relax and breathe in the restorative benefits of Halotherapy as you settle into comfortable reclining chairs, surrounded by warm, dim lighting. Cozy blankets are available to enhance your comfort.
During your 30-minute session, our state-of-the-art SALT FX® Pro Halogenerator disperses fine particles of pure salt into the air. The salt penetrates the respiratory system to clear toxins and enhance breathing.
At the end of your session, you may notice a salty taste on your lips or experience increased drainage or coughing as your body naturally expels mucus and toxins. Any remaining salt dust on clothing can be easily brushed off.
Halotherapy twice a month is ideal for those with mild respiratory concerns, seasonal allergies, or skin conditions seeking regular relief and maintenance. Explore our 2x/Month Halotherapy Membership for steady benefits.
Weekly sessions offer a more intensive approach, ideal for individuals with chronic respiratory issues, persistent skin concerns, or those seeking ongoing immune support. Check out our Weekly Halotherapy Membership for consistent, transformative benefits.
That said, occasional use for a mental and physical boost is extremely beneficial as well.
Strengthens the immune system by reducing inflammation and detoxifying the body, helping to combat internal aging processes and promote long-term health and vitality.
The salt particles moisturize and nourish the skin, helping with conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It's a gentle way to improve skin texture and hydration.
Helps clear mucus, toxins, and inflammation from the lungs, easing symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory issues. Reduces symptoms of seasonal or chronic allergies.
Salt therapy reduces stress and enhances mood by creating a calming environment, promoting clarity, and supporting overall mental well-being.
Regular halotherapy sessions may boost the immune system by supporting the body's natural defense mechanisms, improving resistance to respiratory illnesses.
The calming salt room environment with back-lit Himalayan salt bricks raise your serotonin - the happiness hormone. You are welcome to nap or meditate during your session.
It is 100% natural, safe, and drug-free, providing effective long-term relief. It can be used as a complementary treatment to prescribed medications or as a sole treatment. When Halotherapy is used as a complementary treatment, it can increase the effectiveness and decrease the amount of prescribed medications. Always check with your doctor before starting new treatments to be sure it is right for you.
You may experience a dry throat and increased coughing after your first session. This is a natural part of the clearing process of the respiratory system. The pollution which has accumulated over time is being released by the salt and is then expelled from within the deepest regions of the lungs. You may also notice slight skin irritation, throat tickle (gargling with water resolves this) and minor eye irritation (use eye drops.)
Salt therapy is not appropriate for: Acute stage of any illness, Infections accompanied by fever, Acute active tuberculosis, Stage 3 COPD, Intoxication, Contagious ailments, Use of an oxygen tank to aid breathing, Cardiac insufficiency/severe heart disorders, Spitting up blood, Unstable or uncontrolled high blood pressure, Acute stage of kidney disease
Since our Salt Room is communal we limit the age to 12+, unless accompanied by an adult.
For acute issues, such as allergy flare-ups, sinus issues or minor infections, most people will start noticing a difference in the 1-8 sessions, while more long term, chronic issues take longer, in the 5-25 session range. That said, every person and condition is different.
Salt room therapy requires no special clothing; the salt will not damage your clothes or leave any noticeable residue. Those with skin conditions may elect to wear bathing suits for maximum exposure to the salt. We provide you with shoe coverings to cover your feet.
With over two tons of salt in the room, the microclimate of our salt room is said to be 3 times cleaner than a sterile surgery room in a hospital. Therefore it is nearly impossible to catch any infection or be affected by bacteria during the therapy. Salt is a natural anti-bacterial and it kills almost all bacteria on contact. In addition, our HEPA filtered ventilation system is constantly working to circulate the air in the salt room, drawing used air out and clean, filtered air in.
Dry salt is very high in negative ions. The inner surfaces of your airways are positively charged and therefore draw the dry salt into the airways where it is most beneficial. Also, saline is known to cause some bronchial hyperactivity. Dry salt aerosol used with the right temperature and humidity like in a halotherapy room avoids bronchial swelling and spasm. You also ingest less salt during a 30 minute Halotherapy session than the dose received while inhaling moist sodium chloride aerosol (saline). Lastly, people have been known to contract serious infections from non sterile water used in moist saline therapies. This cannot occur with dry salt therapy.
Salt makes skin more resistant to bacteria, ecreases swelling and inflammation, normalizes pH balance of skin, increases turgor (elasticity and hydration of skin), stimulates growth and helps repair/regenerate skin, increases permeability of skin (helps your cosmetic products work better), decreases itching, heals fissures, cracks and scratches in the skin.

Beth Mattsson - She-HerDecember 2, 2024 This spa is beautiful and serene and offers a variety of great wellness treatments. So far I have tried the float and the PEMF and enjoyed both so much. I will definitely be back. The owner Natasha is very knowledgeable and welcoming. She is a trained energy healer and intuitively picked up on two problem areas I have. She was spot on and I look forward to booking an energy healing session with her soon. Claudia MarinNovember 25, 2024 That is a very nice experience, it is wonderful, it relaxes you a lot, I recommend it 100%, they make you feel like family, the atmosphere is spectacular, there are no words to explain it. 🥰🙃 Tigran HarutyunyanNovember 22, 2024 Natasha was incredibly nice. Despite us arriving late, she graciously allowed us to use all the therapies we had booked and even extended our time in the sauna. The entire facility was spotless, with top-notch equipment. Natasha patiently explained each treatment to us, ensuring we felt comfortable. The whole experience was exceptionally relaxing, with no sense of being rushed at any point. Thank you! Will be back again Mollyann HartNovember 21, 2024 I went here for a float and it was magical. Sheetal PrasadNovember 18, 2024 I drove here from the East Bay bc I really needed to relax. I really like how they let me stay in the salt room for a while bc they were not busy. I wanted to try out other treatments, like a 15 minute sampler, but they said they couldn’t do that. I understood bc I think they got busy when I asked for a 15 minute sampler, or maybe they just stopped doing that? The front desk lady was great. She had amazing vibes. I felt like the location was a bit random and another lady I was with in the salt room agreed with me. Overall, I had a good experience. I think I would go again, but I’d be conscious on what time to go.
Finally a great addition to the neighborhood. Well run, clean, professional and easy to book and visit. Reasonable prices, incredible service and immaculate facilities. Really nothing to ask for by way of improvement. Well done!
This place is a jem! It's such a great way to self care! I'm so happy that such a wonderful place is in our neighborhood! Try it! You won't be disappointed.
The ambiance is welcoming and stylish. The rooms are clean without feeling institutional. I walked in with sciatic nerve pain and walked out pain-free and completely rejuvenated. I will definitely be coming back. Highly, highly recommend!
