Bethesda Salt Cave

We enjoyed our first salt cave experience. Staff was super friendly. With allergies and eczema flaring, gave the salt cave with halo therapy a try. We were fortunate to be the only ones in the room. I brought a few toys for the kids and alternated play, meditation, gratitude and deep breathing with them. May or may not be related but my allergies and sinuses feel better. My 2.5yo who usually has congestion at night is sleeping well without congestion related issues. We’ll be coming back again!

FYI on kids prices: Reserved this online not realizing that there are kids prices. If you intend to book a session with kids, call to make your reservation. (Can’t remember but it was priced at something like 1st child 1/2 price and 2nd free).

This place was recommended to me by a friend. I wasn't sure what expect. It is a nice snd clean place. The staff was very friendly. The massage therapist was amazing. She methodically work through the knots in my back, shoulders and neck. I felt great. Then I went to Halo therapy in the Salt Cave. I took a quick pic before the session. Please note, for my first session I experienced sneezing sensation from breathing in the salt. It's okay. Sessions after, you will start to experience the benefits if the therapy. I'm schedule to go back again. Love this place. Definitely recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Salt Cave for the first time, and it was truly a delightful experience. The studio was exceptionally clean, which immediately set a positive tone for my visit. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, including Sarah.

Sarah's welcoming demeanor and genuine friendliness made me feel right at home. The atmosphere at Salt Cave was peaceful and inviting, creating the perfect environment for relaxation and rejuvenation.

I highly recommend the studio especially for anyone looking for a welcoming and serene yoga experience. I'm looking forward to my next visit already!

Ryan Ogles is an incredible massage therapist. Could not more highly recommend. I went in after having been on bed rest post surgery feeling tight and stressed, and left feeling incredible!

My recent visit to a salt cave with halo therapy was remarkable. The serene atmosphere and breathing in clean air filled with salt particles were incredibly calming. The session itself was relaxing, and I noticed a significant improvement in my allergies and sinus issues after just one session. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The owner of the salt cave truly stands out. Her attention to detail and commitment to providing an exceptional experience for her customers is evident in every aspect of the salt cave. Overall, the experience left me feeling great. I highly recommend trying it for improved respiratory health and a tranquil experience.

I had Ryan for a massage and it was sublime. He was so professional and had a wonderful manner. The massage itself was really great, fantastic pressure and everything down to the way he moved the blanket was polished and part of the experience of relaxation and grounding. Highly recommend.

Also sat in the salt cave and it had such great ambiance. The air definitely cleared up my congestion noticeably. Would love to return.

Highly recommend! Starting with the salt cave experience (HaloTherapy) - you really won’t find a therapeutic space just like it within 100 miles. Janine & her warm, welcoming team seem genuinely committed to your health & well-being. I’ve tried a few services in addition to the cave & look forward to trying one of the massage therapists next time I return within a few weeks.

I have been to the salt cave three times in the past two months. Once to sit in the salt cave and quietly meditate with others. The cave is beautiful and peaceful, a perfect place to just be. I have also attended two sessions with Mel who uses her crystal bowls for sound healing (crystal alchemy healing). The bowls make sounds that are beautiful and the vibrations fill the cave and your body with healing energy. I look forward to attending again in the future.

I came in on Friday and had an 80 minute Craniosacral appointment with Sarah. She was amazing! Her energy was so beautiful and she took her time working on different areas that needed attention. She listened and was very attentive amd made sure I felt safe and comfortable. I left feeling refreshed and peaceful and grounded. The front desk staff was warm and friendly and Janine, the owner was incredibly kind and thoughtful. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back and try the salt cave! Thanks again!

It’s been a few months since I had treatment on my thighs , and I’m writing this review now cuz I really see my results. I had lost some weight and my thighs felt really saggy and I wanted an alternative to surgery. Jeanine and Sarvi made great suggestions to customize my plan. They really care about their clients and do not treat you like a transaction. I would suggest this cute spot to everyone.

Rose petals as you descend a flight of stairs to a beautiful hidden gem 💎! A small yet powerful place. I would have loved to take pictures of the inside of the salt cave but that’s not allowed. I truly enjoyed my time here. I will definitely return. Body butter and handmade soap and bath bombs are available. I’ll try a spa treatment next. ❤❤❤

A Magical Oasis of Wellness -
The Bethesda Salt Cave!

I have had the privilege of being a loyal client of the Bethesda Salt Cave for over 12 years, and I can't possibly express the depth of my appreciation for this extraordinary sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation.

From the moment you step through the doors, you're transported into a world of serenity and healing. The ambiance alone is enough to melt away the stresses of daily life. But it's the team, led by the incredible Janine and Max, that truly makes this place magical.

The massages at the Bethesda Salt Cave are nothing short of heavenly. The therapists are skilled, intuitive, and dedicated to ensuring you experience the utmost relaxation. Their hands seem to work wonders, leaving you in a state of pure bliss.

The facials are equally enchanting, tailored to your skin's unique needs. Each session feels like a luxurious journey, leaving your skin refreshed, radiant, and renewed.

And then there's the bath detox - a therapeutic experience that detoxifies not only your body but your mind as well. It's a true cleanse for the soul.

Sound bowl therapy sessions are an absolute treat for the senses. The soothing vibrations resonate through your being, harmonizing your energy and leaving you in a state of profound peace.

The presence of crystals throughout the space adds an extra layer of positive energy and intention. It's clear that every element of this sanctuary has been thoughtfully curated to promote well-being.

The Bethesda Salt Cave isn't just a place for individual healing; it's also perfect for team retreats or precious mother-daughter bonding experiences. I've had the privilege of sharing this oasis with loved ones, and it deepens the sense of connection and relaxation.

In summary, the Bethesda Salt Cave is my sacred space - my go-to for self-care and holistic wellness. Janine and her remarkable team have created a haven of serenity and healing that I cherish beyond words. If you haven't experienced the magic of this place, I wholeheartedly encourage you to do so. It's a gift you'll want to give yourself time and time again.

With profound gratitude and admiration,

Loved the space, all the excellently selected goodies to choose from and the salt room experience is one that I plan to go back to time and time again! Toni is amazing and so very patient :)

I came to Bethesda Salt Cave for a guided meditation led by Anna. The salt cave room is cozy and serene. Anna’s guided meditation is incredible! She is knowledgable, compassionate, and so gifted at guiding people towards healing and transformation. She knows how to empower people to target and heal what needs attention. I felt energized after her session. I highly recommend coming to Anna’s future sessions at the salt cave.

The Bethesda Salt Cave online booking is not straightforward, so call them and they’ll be able to help. The staff is friendly and helpful.

My sister and I went to the salt cave Friday and loved the place so much that we came back for facial and massages the next day! Sarvy was amazing for my facial. It was the best one I’ve ever had! Magnificent. Everyone there was so patient and kind. I don’t live too close, but I will be back every chance I get. Highly recommend! 🙌

I have had several massages and an endosphere treatment at the Bethesda Salt Cave. I have also spent time in the Salt Cave. I have always been delighted with every person who works there and the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The last time I was there, I met Janine, the owner. She remembered I had tennis elbow from when I called to make the appointment. She surprised me by offering to take a look at it after my treatment. She wasn’t even supposed to be working that day but one of her staff (she called them friends) had called in sick. Her lovely calm, golden dog was with her and exhibited the same mellow, serene energy as his owner. Janine examined by elbow, then proceeded to identify the likely source of the chronic issue and provided a massage for a half hour that made it all feel so much better. When I offered to pay her, she refused. She admitted she “hates to see people in pain.” I have to say, I was blown away by this business owner’s authentically caring and generous spirit. She deserves all the success in the world. She has created a beautiful, inclusive place of healing. Thank you, Janine.

Had the most beautiful couples massage with such relaxation and then did a 45 minute session in the salt cave breathing in all the good stuff while meditating and cuddling my favorite person in the world. This was such a wonderful experience. Sandra, my massage therapist was so lovely, caring, consensual and gentle with my body. Janene, the owner was so great to meet and she really makes you feel like you've known her for longer than 2 minutes! Thank you for this wonderful place of healing, grounding, and relaxation! So grateful and can't wait to be back and continue enjoying the spa here!

After hiking 27 miles in Yosemite (and turning 74) over the Memorial Day weekend, I was virtually crippled. Sandy gave me a terrific, deep-tissue massage that restored my knees and put me back on the path. I will make her massages a regular part of my week.

After a wonderful massage with Ursula, I spent 45 minutes relaxing in the salt cave. That was my first time in such a place, but it absolutely won't be my last. I have terrible spring allergies, but my breathing has been easier since then. Luckily I have a local salt room here in Ohio so I don't have to wait until I visit Maryland again to get the benefits. Take the time to come here to get some relaxation and rejuvenation. You deserve it!

I recently had a business trip to our home office in Chevy Chase. I decided to go in a day early and I chose the Bethesda Salt Cave and Spa for some self-care time. The experience was absolutely AMAZING!!! Sarvy was so warm and welcoming from the moment that I walked through the door. I was greeted with delicious aromatics and hot tea as I relaxed in the lounge area. My first service was a relaxing facial and I added on micro-dermabrasion. She took great care to understand my skin's condition before engaging in service and she explained each product and the benefits I should expect. My skin was dewy and silky smooth at the end of the service. My next experience was in the salt cave itself. The zero gravity chairs and blankets allow you to slip into the beautiful, calming, and highly therapeutic space. You can taste the salt as it cleanses your sinuses and yes, I could feel my body temperature drop about 15 minutes into the 1 hour session. While the atmosphere was fantastic, what I loved the most about my experience was the fact that they truly care about their client's well-being. During the facial, I complained of pain in my neck due to a 'pinched nerve'. Before leaving the facility, Sarvy ensured that I had a deep tissue massage along with cryo-therapy. The massage got to the root of my stiffness and as my muscles relaxed, the tension melted away. This massage was on 12/4 and I'm still feeling the benefits that I've not been able to achieve through medicine or physical therapy. I cannot say enough good things about the Bethesda Salt Cave & Spa! I've told all of my colleagues about this place and whenever I am in the area, I will make a point to book their services.
