Salt therapy can benefit all ages.  We have designed this special session, held every Sunday at 10am, so you and your young ones can enjoy the salt cave together. Some benefits, especially useful for children,  include mental clarity for distracted youngsters as well as immune boosting, respiratory relief, and relief from skin conditions. Little ones, ages 0 to 11 years can only be registered for the Kids Quiet Play Sessions on Sundays at 10am, or you may buy out the room for a Private Session for you and your family. Accompanying adults must register as an Adult.

In consideration of all our guests, PLEASE help children to be quiet and calm while in our space so we can keep these sessions open to our family friendly times. Children must always be accompanied by an adult.

Adults must be present and attentive to their child, as we have other spa/wellness services going on and do our best to have children in a quieter setting than the playground.

What to expect:
We have a cave host who will help you enter the space and then once every one is settled will leave to enjoy the time together to chat and connect. They will return  after about 40 minutes and have you all help pick up toys and books so kids learn how to be helpful with resetting the space.
We have books, sand toys and some toys for kids to play with. We do ask if you want to bring anything as well, just please no liquids.
Adults MUST be attentive to children while in session, as they are NOT to play in the water features, this can be very harmful due to is high concentrations.
To help maintain our peaceful atmosphere for all guests, we are having family sessions enter and exit though our lower entrance, to help keep noise levels quiet and respectful for everyone in our space.

 

In consideration of all our guests, please refrain from smoking or heavy perfume use at least two hours prior to your session beginning.

 

FAQ:

Why Must I Arrive 15 Minutes Early?

Our cave sessions begin exactly on the hour and therefore it is imperative to arrive early to use the restroom, help yourself to a some fresh water and get ready for your session to begin on time.  We have a lovely outdoor space and encourage you to relax on our back deck or gardens before or after your session. We do not interrupt a cave session once it has begun.

Do you offer toys or books for kids?

Kids find this space so magical. We do offer a small variety of book and toys for kids to engage with while in the session. You are welcome to bring your own, we DO NOT allow liquids of any kind in the Salt Cave.

Adults MUST be attentive to children while in session, as they are NOT to play in the water features, this can be very harmful due to is high concentrations.

Are there any illnesses or conditions which may prevent me from utilizing a salt therapy session?

Kidney Disease – Since one’s kidneys may already be in a compromised state it is advisable to consult with a physician prior to scheduling an appointment. During your 45 minute session water is pulled from your system. It is recommended that one use the restroom prior to beginning their session and immediately following it. We also recommend increasing your water intake through out the day.

Chemotherapy– If one is undergoing chemotherapy it is not advisable for them to visit the salt cave. However, during the period between chemotherapy increments and after the completion of one’s treatment it is recommended that one schedule 2-3 treatments per week to aid in the improvement of their immune system as quickly as possible. The salt session helps improve and boost one’s immune system. During chemotherapy the idea is to lower immunity to aid in the killing off of the cancer cells, therefore it would be counter productive to one’s treatment to visit a salt cave.

Hypothyroidism – the body generates less iodine than required. From our experience: it is recommended to use the salt therapy in our cave under a doctors care during which time they can monitor and reduce the amount of hormone they are prescribing for their patients until it is possible to completely stop its use.

Can I bring in food or liquids during my session?

No food or drinks are allowed in the cave.  We do have water outside the salt cave for you. And we offer a few bubbly beverages in our salt boutique.

*We do NOT allow alcohol drinking on premises, nor can we service those who are intoxicated. Please note this session will sober you up, so please wait till after to consume alcohol.*

Known Benefits

  • Cardiovascular Health
    Contrary to common table salt, pure crystal pink salts with their 84 essential minerals and trace elements can actually be used to help balance blood pressure and break down deposits.
  • Stress Relief
    Unplug and unwind. In the society we live in, we are bombarded by electromagnetic waves from cell phones, to computers, to televisions. Crystal salt can help neutralize the damaging electromagnetic vibrations by changing the harmful positive ions into negative ions - similar to a waterfall, the ocean, or after a thunderstorm. Salt therapy is beneficial for those dealing with anxiety, nervousness, depression, or stress.
  • Brain Performance Boost
    Salt is an electrolyte which is used with other electrolytes in the body to transmit electrical signals. It is particularly useful for transmitting nerve signals throughout the body. In the brain, salt is used as a stimulant to encourage the brain to make new memories.
  • Digestive Health
    Salt therapy stimulates digestive organs and balances stomach acid. It supports the function of the liver and pancreas, regulating metabolism and harmonizing the acid/alkaline balance. People who suffer from IBS, GERD, or gallbladder/liver issues may benefit from salt therapy.
  • Detoxification
    Throughout a lifetime, many of us will have accumulated heavy metals in our bodies, based on our water, the soil in which our food is grown, and our dental care. These burden our system and are very difficult for our bodies to eliminate. Some people may experience headaches, exhaustion, or depression as a result. Crystal salt therapy can help remove these heavy metals and other toxins from the body.
  • Skin Nourishment
    Using salt therapy for skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and aging can be an effective alternative treatment. Our skin is our largest organ and has a big job as the protector from outside pollutants as well as letting the pollutants on the inside be released. Crystal salt helps balance pH and mineral levels - both of which are important for optimal skin health.
  • Respiratory Relief
    Inhalation in a salt micro-climate is clinically proven to cleanse the respiratory system and to speed  the elimination of toxins. A concentrated water and salt climate has bactericidal effects, cleansing microbial flora of the respiratory tract, slowing down bacterial growth and increasing resistance to respiratory tract diseases. It reduces inflammation, widening of the airway passages, restoring the normal transport of mucous secretion. This can be beneficial for people suffering from allergies, asthma, bronchnitis, congestion, and beyond.
