Himalayan Sea Salt Grotto
So many factors contribute to an ideal massage experience: the practitioner, the music, the type and temperature of the massage oil, the ambiance. Himalayan Haven’s Sea Salt Grotto provides the perfect setting for a deeply relaxing session. Revered for its beauty, Himalayan salt is formed into bricks that line the walls and are warmly lit from behind, creating a soft, peaceful atmosphere.
Designed and built by Michele Zagorski, the grotto originally housed Zagorska Oasis. When the space became available, owner Kaza Satterfield knew a good opportunity when he saw one: “I feel incredibly blessed to steward and share the Himalayan Sea Salt Grotto with clients and the community.”
Aside from its aesthetic qualities—why Himalayan sea salt?
Himalayan sea salt has been shown to emanate negative ions, which are molecules that we inhale in the air, usually in environments we associate with beauty and stress reduction like the beach, waterfalls, and forests. Studies have shown that negative ions elevate mood, release stress, reduce fatigue, and increase vibrancy. Here at Himalayan Haven, we feel it holds great potential to help nourish the soul.
Airborne salt particulates are reputed to benefit the lungs immensely. The salt helps moisturize breathing passages, reducing inflammation and bringing relief for allergies, bronchitis, congestion, and other ailments. Even if your lungs feel healthy, just being in the salt grotto can ease breathing and bring you into a more relaxed state—the perfect complement to your massage treatment!
