Nestled in the heart of downtown Hood River is a labor of love hand built by a husband (Daniel) for his wife (Angelina). A bereaved mom who's dedicated this space to her son Chris who passed in 2021 at 31, blindsided by illness.
A manmade sea salt cave which offers a unique wellness experience where dancing salt particles suspended in the air is absorbed by one's skin, lungs, and may trigger serotonin to reduce stress, improve mood and sleep.
It took over 'one million touches' for Daniel to meticulously hand-place each non-toxic 'Cheeto puff looking' cornstarch packing bead on its walls, ceiling and a seven-foot Cherub Wing which greets guests as its guardian.
Daniel created this quiet space for Angelina to be enveloped with healing, hope, and deep rest. A private sanctuary she shares with seekers of unique wellness experiences to help nurture the health their mind, body and spirits.
As you enter, the salt cave's stillness surrounds you. Dim lighting invites sensory exploration as your bare feet and toes welcome the texture of 3000 pounds of Baja Gold Sea Salt to rake, meditate, and create a Salt Angel in.
Walls lined with sandstone and basalt rock regulate this microclimate while paying homage to the geology of the Columbia River Gorge, converging the benefits and experience of the salt mines in Europe with a beach cave.
The familiar benefits of halotherapy: reduced inflammation or pain when we gargle with salt water, skin benefits of an Epsom salt bath, the spray of saline in our sinuses for respiratory comfort. That 'happy feeling' we experience walking alongisde the seashore while inhaling saltwater mist.
