FAQ

What should I do before a session?

Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water. Avoid lotions, makeup and perfumes prior to your session.

What should I wear? 

Less is more! We do ask that you wear undergarments during your

session for hygiene purposes — you'll be resting on one mat with another draped over you like a cozy blanket.

How long is a session? 

Sessions run either 20 or 30 minutes, depending on which option you choose when you book. Short, sweet, and effective.

How often should I come in? 

The benefits are cumulative, so the more consistent you are, the

more you'll feel it. We recommend 2-3 sessions per week for the first few weeks, then you can ease back to once or twice a week if you'd like. That said, this is just a guide — we'll always encourage you to listen to your body and do what feels right for you.

How will I feel afterward? 

Everyone responds a little differently! If you're new to red light therapy, you might feel a bit more tired than usual at first — and that's completely normal. After

a few sessions, as your body adjusts and your ATP (your cells' energy source) gets activated, most people notice a real uptick in their energy levels. Hang in there — it gets good!

Are there any contraindications? 

There are a few things to be aware of. If any of the following apply to you, we'd recommend checking in with your healthcare provider before your first session — and of course, we're always here if you have questions:

● Photosensitivity

● Use of topical, oral, or injectable steroids

● Recent LASIK eye surgery

● Pregnancy or lactation

● Active cancer

● Open lesions or wounds

Do I need to wear eye protection? 

We recommend wearing glasses specifically designed for red light therapy, as you shouldn't look directly at the lights for an extended period of time. We

sell them right here at Saltaire Sanctuary, or you're welcome to bring your own.

What is Halotherapy?

Halotherapy — or salt therapy — is a drug-free, natural wellness practice that

involves inhaling pharmaceutical-grade dry salt aerosol in a controlled environment.

As microscopic salt particles are breathed in, they travel through the respiratory tract, where their natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and mucolytic (mucus-thinning) properties go to work.

Salt also carries a negative ionic charge, which may support mood and energy

levels. Used for centuries in salt caves and mines across Europe, modern

halotherapy brings these benefits into a precisely calibrated setting.

Our Three Sanctuary Experiences

Solo Salt Booth

10-minute session | Single occupancy | High concentration

Our solo booth delivers a quick, concentrated session of dry salt aerosol — ideal for

a lunchtime reset or a fast respiratory boost before or after exercise. The compact,

private space ensures a higher salt concentration than our larger rooms, maximizing

the therapeutic effect in minimal time.

VIP Salt Room

1 to 2 guests | Sovi Acoustic loungers | Gentle warmth & meditation music.

Our signature room pairs the benefits of halotherapy with a deeply immersive

sensory experience. Two Sovi Vibro- Acoustic loungers radiate gentle warmth and deliver

meditation music through the body of the lounger itself — so the sound is felt as well as heard. This creates a state of profound relaxation while the salt aerosol works on your respiratory system. Perfect for partners, close friends, or a solo guest looking for an elevated experience.

Community Salt Room 

Up to 6 guests | Shared sessions start on the hour.  We limit group sessions to 4 people unless you are booking for a larger group of up to 6 people.

Our community room is open to all — book as a group or join a scheduled session.

Himalayan salt walls create an immersive ambiance, and the relaxed shared

atmosphere makes it a welcoming space for families, small groups, or anyone who

prefers company in their wellness practice.

Benefits of Halotherapy

Respiratory Support

Salt's natural mucolytic action helps thin and clear mucus, making halotherapy

popular for those managing asthma, allergies, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, COPD,

and frequent colds. Regular sessions may reduce the frequency and severity of

flare-ups.

Skin Wellness

Dry salt has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that can benefit

conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and rosacea. Many guests notice

improved texture and tone over a course of sessions.

Stress Reduction & Sleep

The calming environment, combined with negative ions naturally produced by salt,

supports the nervous system. Guests frequently report deeper sleep and a

noticeable reduction in anxiety.

Immune Support

Regular halotherapy may help reduce the frequency of upper respiratory infections

by cleansing the airway of allergens, pollutants, and bacteria.

Athletic Training and Recovery

Clearing the airways improves oxygen uptake and endurance. Some athletes use

halotherapy as part of training to improve lung function.

General Wellbeing and Relaxation

Even guests without specific conditions often describe a lasting sense of calm,

clarity, and lightness after a session.

FAQ 

Who should not use halotherapy?

While halotherapy is safe for most people, please wait or reschedule if:

●Active or infectious respiratory illness (such as a current chest infection,

tuberculosis, or pneumonia) — please reschedule until you are well

●Any open wounds, skin infections, or weeping skin conditions

Is halotherapy safe for children?

Yes — halotherapy is widely used with children and can be particularly helpful for

kids prone to ear infections or asthma. Children are welcome in our community

room. We recommend sessions of no longer than 30 minutes for younger children.

We will have specific hours to bring children so you can all experience the benefits.

Can I have a session if I have a cold?

We ask that guests with active, contagious illness reschedule out of consideration for other guests. If you are recovering and no longer contagious, a session can be

beneficial.

Will halotherapy interact with my medication?

For most medications there is no interaction. However, if you use inhaled medication for asthma or COPD, you may find halotherapy enhances its effectiveness over time — always inform your physician if you wish to adjust your dose.

How many sessions do I need to notice a benefit?

Many guests notice a difference after their first session. For chronic respiratory or

skin conditions, a course of 4 sessions over 7-10 days typically produces the most

significant and lasting results. You will want to follow up with weekly visits to maintain and optimize the benefits.

What should I wear?

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is ideal. If you are attending for a skin condition,

exposing the affected area will enhance the benefits. Light colored socks are

recommended. We provide disposable overshoes for all rooms if you forget socks. And, socks are available to purchase.

Salt may leave a faint residue on dark clothing — this brushes off easily once dry.

Is there anything I should do before or after a session?

We recommend arriving well-hydrated. After your visit, drinking plenty of water

supports the body's natural cleansing process. Some guests experience a temporary

increase in mucus clearance or mild coughing following a session — this is a normal

and positive sign that the therapy is working.

Contrast therapy — alternating between our infrared sauna and the Morozko Forge cold plunge — is one of the most powerful things you can do for your body in a single session. The heat and cold work together like a rhythm, opening and closing your blood vessels in a way that gets everything moving, flushing, and healing. It's invigorating, grounding, and honestly? A little addictive.

The benefits speak for themselves:

● Boost circulation and oxygen delivery throughout the body

● Reduce inflammation and muscle soreness

● Speed up recovery after exercise or physical activity

● Flush out metabolic waste and support detoxification

● Lift your mood and release endorphins

● Sharpen mental clarity and focus

● Ease stress and support a deeper sense of calm

● Improve sleep quality

FAQ

How does contrast therapy actually work? 

It's all about your blood vessels. The heat causes them to expand (vasodilation), increasing blood flow, loosening muscles, and encouraging relaxation. Then the cold causes them to contract (vasoconstriction), reducing inflammation and giving the body an invigorating reset. Alternating between the two creates a kind of natural pump effect — flushing out what your body doesn't need and bringing in fresh oxygen and nutrients.

What does a typical session look like? 

A classic contrast session looks something like this:

1. Start in the infrared sauna for 10–20 minutes to warm up and open up

2. Transition to the cold plunge for 1–3 minutes

3. End on whichever feels right for your goals — cold for energy and clarity, warm for deep relaxation and sleep

4. There are varying opinions if it is best to end with cold or heat. You can try both ways and see what works best for you. Some choose hot first, then cold plunge and follow with exercise, or use the red light mats to gently rewarm your body. That said, there's no one-size-fits-all approach. We'll help you find a rhythm that works for you.

How will I feel? 

Most people describe contrast therapy as the best they've felt in a long time. Expect a rush of energy, a clear head, and that wonderful post-session glow. If you're finishing warm, you'll feel deeply relaxed and ready for rest. Either way, you'll feel like you did something really good for yourself.

How often should I do it? 

Consistency is where the real magic happens. We recommend 2–3 sessions per week to start — though even one session a week will make a noticeable

difference. Your body adapts and responds more and more over time, so the benefits continue to build.

Do I need to be experienced with saunas or cold plunges first? 

Not at all! Contrast therapy is wonderful for beginners and seasoned wellness enthusiasts alike. If you're brand new to cold plunging, we might suggest a solo sauna or cold plunge session first just to get comfortable, but we're here to guide you every step of the way. 

Are there any contraindications? 

Contrast therapy is safe and deeply beneficial for most healthy adults, but the combination of heat and cold does place some demand on the cardiovascular system.  Please review the following before booking, and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. We highly recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before trying contrast therapy or if any of the following apply:

● Heart disease, arrhythmia, or cardiovascular conditions

● High blood pressure (hypertension)

● Circulatory conditions such as deep vein thrombosis

● Diabetes or conditions affecting peripheral circulation

● Raynaud's disease or cold sensitivity

● Epilepsy or neurological conditions

● Pregnancy

● Open wounds or skin conditions

Please do not use the sauna or cold plunge after consuming alcohol or any substances. And as always — there's no pressure to push through anything that doesn't feel right. We want every visit to feel safe, supported, and completely yours.
