I recently came in for a salt room session and cannot describe in words the healing power of the experience!
The space holders are incredibly present, kind, informative, and receptive to guests' needs and it is clear that the people and energies of the space are truly healing individuals and the community.
I cannot recommend them highly enough for any of your somatic needs especially related to sinus/airway cleansing, sound immersion, massage, and general stress relief.
Many thanks!

Last week, our family of five, including three teenage daughters, had a family halotherapy in the spacious Salt Cave Suite. Together it was some of the most enjoyable relaxation and comfort we have had together. Each family member took away various gifts of the session, including clearer breathing, muscle relaxation, and serenity. The sound, salt, and legato loungers therapy combined to deliver an amazingly peaceful experience for the entire family. I highly recommend family sessions!! Our teenagers loved it!
It was my wife and I 5th year wedding anniversary, my wife is earthy and loves anything pertaining to healthy cleansing. I thought this would be the perfect treat and I did not miss. It was amazing! Alesia welcomed us to Durham salt cave, the ambiance in the lobby, the soft music tones, the smell of the building, the pure feeling when you walk in. The salt suite itself was immaculate, we loved the intimacy and the free space. The chairs were super comfortable, the salt stones were a must! Alesia was amazing, she made the experience even more top tier. She was very helpful, warming to the experience, and helped us embrace our anniversary. She gave us a cute token of love with a little baggie and a “Happy Anniversary” card, that truly made my wife tear up. It definitely left a positive impression on us, that we will forever remember and helped make our milestone extra special! We will definitely be coming back, and for those who question whether you should partake with the Durham Salt Cave. You better do it, because let me tell you.. it was an experience, a peaceful one. Good vibes only, peace and blessings!

I had a lovely restorative session at the Durham Salt Cave last week and was very pleased with my experience. From the moment I walked in the doors, I felt more relaxed than I've felt in a while - a total-body feeling that only increased during my session! I really loved getting to pull an oracle card and a botanical card afterwards while enjoying a cup of tea. :) It was a deeply rejuvenating experience from start to finish.

Deep Relaxation at Durham's Salt Cave
My husband and I sought stress relief and found it! A 45-minute session in the salt cave left us feeling relaxed and tranquil. The unique atmosphere – salt floor, walls, and air – helped us reach a deeper state of inner peace. The guided meditation at the beginning bridged the gap between the external world and inner healing.
Everything about this experience, from the moment you walk in to exiting, is intentional and designed to promote relaxation.
Definitely recommend Durham Salt Cave!
Accessibility was fantastic – I never felt out of place.👨🏽🦽

This is a must do! If you are looking for a restorative experience in the heart of Durham, this is the place. I booked a session for my oldest daughters 28th birthday. We were greeted by a lovely young woman named Kelsey who set us up with a fresh brewed cup of peppermint tea, while we waited for our session. The overall vibe in the space is gentle, relaxing as soon as you enter off of the street. The immediate impression was cared for. We were then taken in to the dressing area to change. We were asked to leave our baggage and electronics at the entrance. On entering the cave, the light is dim and space is beautiful. The temperature is comfortable. On your zero g custom made chairs are a lovely blanket to further promote comfort.We were offered eye pillows and hot stones. Kelsey explained not only the process but origins of salt caves. She helped us settle in and connect with ourselves. The session began and all I can say is I was oddly in and out of conscieness during the 45 min process. I awoke to a gentle bell and then directive to fully come back to the present. I felt refreshed and renewed. We dressed had another cup of tea and were ready to face the day with a clearer mind then what we came in with. The booking process was easy and the price was worth it. Don't Miss it!

I took my husband here for his birthday to have a unique experience. We did the 45 min salt cave/sound therapy and we had a lovely, relaxing time. We booked the salt suite, but since there were no other parties at our appointment time we were “upgraded” to the cave.
I wore a tank and thick leggings because it was a cold day, but next time I’ll probably wear shorts to be able to expose as much of myself as possible while in the cave. You are given a comfy blanket and hot stones, but I found it pretty warm in there that day and didn’t need the blanket.
My only extremely slight negative is we were sat in the loungers closest to the fan(?) that pumps out the medical grade salt during the experience, and with my ADHD I found the whirring of the fan louder than the sound therapy in the beginning (which is quiet in the beginning) and it was distracting and prevented me from falling into total relaxation. My husband didn’t even notice it though, and he was transfixed before our guide even left the room. Next time I’ll prefer to sit further from the fan.
My husband tends to not be into “woo woo” but he said his experience was amazing - he was so relaxed he could barely lift his arms. He fell asleep and said it was a hypnotic state. The owner is extremely kind and soothing. It’s incredible he built the place himself too, everything is just beautiful and so carefully considered. We will definitely be back, we would love to try having a massage before entering the salt room. This business is an amazing addition to Durham. Definitely try it! Thank you!

My wife and I had an extraordinary experience at the Durham Salt Cave. Upon entering, we were greeted by a calming and welcoming atmosphere. We booked the two-person suite, which was truly amazing. I’ve never experienced anything like it and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Although it can be challenging to quiet our minds, my wife and I left feeling incredibly relaxed. The atmosphere and the assistance we received from the young woman at the front desk, whose name escapes me, were exceptional. She was very sweet, explained everything thoroughly, and ensured we had a wonderful visit. We definitely plan to return.

Incredible experience! Loved our guide who talked us through the entire experience and helped ground us. Highly recommend!
The room is a bit chilly but they provided a blanket and hot pink Himalayan salt stones.

Amazing experience. I went in hopes of getting rid of the upper respiratory crud I’ve had for the last month after being sick. It absolutely worked. Beyond that it was a super relaxing experience.

Amazing experience and the perfect way to end the year and welcome in the new year. It has been days since my visit and I still have such a sense of calm and clarity that has been missing for a while. I will be retuning and telling all my friends!
