- Janice JHamilton, Canada31 contributionsI found out about the Healing Salt Cave from my naturopath, Dr. Lara Armstrong. I have been experiencing some respiratory issues from a lingering cold virus and looking for relief. When you call for an appointment, you may be directed to voice mail. Patience is required for a callback.
My appointment was on the same day, Thursday afternoon. I was advised to come 15 minutes before my appointment to complete a medical form and for a tour of the facility. When entering you are asked to remove street shoes and put on white cloth booties over your socks. I had read the other TripAdvisor reviews so knew to wear comfortable clothing (e.g. leggings, mock turtleneck, sweater, and socks) for the salt cave as it is quite cool. The attendant will give you a velour blanket to cover yourself, and you will be thankful for it. At first, I didn't feel the cold, but as the time in the cave progressed I was glad that I was bundled up. Soft lighting, spa music, and the water dripping down to maintain the humidity level were heard. I'm sure others would be able to fall asleep to the sounds, but I couldn't. (Hint: be sure to use the rest room before entering the cave). I brought my water bottle which helped with thirst.
There are no lockers for personal belongings, so I had to bring my purse into the cave.
The cave is actually a room set up with salt on the floor (slightly difficult to walk on), ceiling, and around the walls. Crystal salt fixtures (also sold in the reception room) were placed around the room, along with some lounge chairs. I was not claustrophobic at all, and I was in the cave room by myself.
By the end of the session, I did find that I could breathe deeper. I would return for a follow-up session and to try a massage. Daily we breathe in so much air pollution that a chance to rejuvenate the lungs is a welcome health respite. I do have a lingering salt taste in my mouth as the only drawback.Written March 30, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- M.DDubai, United Arab Emirates73 contributionsI purchased a 1 month unlimited yoga classes. It’s my first time ever doing yoga. I was greeted by Natalie who made me feel welcome & explained everything thoroughly. She introduced me to the classes offered & the facilities. She encouraged me to try various classes and introduced me to some of the instructors as well. I have tried bikram inspired yoga which I really like, as it feels like a workout. And various other gentle & beginner classes. A couple of my favorites are sweat, relax and restore & gentle hatha.
Some instructors that I have enjoyed taking their classes are: Linda & Kelly.
They also have an app, which is great, I can check the timings & classes offered. And they offer tea. They also have 2 locations, Hamilton & waterdown.Written August 19, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
