Private Traditional Finnish steam baths & HImalAyan Salt Room

Halotherapy was discovered in the 1800s by Polish miners who noticed their frequent exposure to salt mines yielded positive results in their skin and respiratory health. Halotherapy mimics the effects of long-term salt mine exposure- condensing it into a 30-minute session. 

Unlike a salt mine, a Halotherapy room is conveniently located in a controlled environment. We have the ability to change humidity levels and temperature range, generally 70-74f and 50% humidity. 

Halotherapy uses a special generator to grind pharmaceutical grade salt into fine particles known as Dry Salt Aerosol.  Microparticles of salt are dispersed into the room during the 30-minute treatment session. The particles, measuring less than 5 micrometers in diameter, are small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli. 

The inhaled salt may help kill bacteria, break down mucous and pollutants lodged in the respiratory tract.  These can either be coughed up or eliminated through the blood stream.  The treatment may reduce hypersensitivity and inflammation in the lungs, thin out mucus build-up, eliminate allergens, improve lung function and open up breathing passages. It also has positive benefits for the skin. 

Children respond to Halotherapy even more than adults. Ever try to irrigate the nose of a child with saline solution or to use an inhalation mask? Halotherapy makes it simple and more effective.

Plan to arrive 10 minutes prior to your appointment for initial check in. 

Please be on time as there is likely a guest booked after you. 

It is very important that you come hydrated and in good health! If you are sick or contagious, we kindly ask that you please stay home.  

If you are coming in to use the salt room to alleviate cold symptoms, please wear a mask at all times while in the lobby.  We kindly ask that you please be courteous to our staff and other guests by not exposing others to a contagious illness.  Please do not come in if you currently have Covid or have tested positive in the last 7 days. 

We provide towels and facecloths in your private changing room along with some body wash and additional personal products for your use.   We recommend that you bring water, shower shoes and a spare towel for your Steam Bath.  However, we've got your back if you happen to forget them.  We offer many products for sale including Body Wash, Soaps, Salt Scrubs, Shampoo, Conditioner, Essential Oils, Sauna Wraps, Shower Shoes, Tote Bags, Water, and more.  

We offer Eucalyptus Essential Oil or a blend w/ Rosemary, Lemon, Lime or Sweet Orange.  These are only used over the hot radiator for steam infusion.

We now have a variety of Sauna Whisks available for Steam Bath.  If you would like to book a whisk for your steam appointment, please call us to schedule your appointment in advance as not all times are available.  We offer Birch, Red Oak and Eucalyptus whisks.

Please do not bring in any glass products or use any kind of body oils in the steam bath.  Both create an extremely dangerous environment for both staff and other guests.  Using body oils creates a film over floor and bench surfaces that is both slippery and repels disinfectants and cleaners.
