Urban Oasis Salt Spa Offers Wellness Options

Urban Oasis Salt Spa is a local, family run business owned by Dave and Carol Saxton, who have a passion for bringing all-natural dry salt therapy, known as halotherapy, to locals and visitors from around the world, with a focus on education, especially in the senior and veteran communities.

            Halotherapy is beneficial for respiratory and skin health and helps to relieve symptoms of stress, anxiety, colds, cough, flu, asthma, allergies, sinuses, PTSD, post-Covid-19 symptoms, eczema, psoriasis and more.

            The exclusive salt room consists of 15,000 pounds of imported Himalayan salt, combined with LED-lit walls and medical-grade salt in microfine particles dispersed into the room for inhalation, and was built from the ground up by Dave (Mr. Salty) himself. Lie back in anti-gravity chairs and relax while breathing in the healing salt vapors. Clients use their time in the salt room to de-stress, meditate or practice deep breathing techniques, with sound and light therapy creating an ideal setting.

            Though the salt room is the heart of Urban Oasis, they also offer organic facials using fruit-based enzymes and botanicals that help to restore skin health, increase collagen and promote cell regeneration.  Experienced and professional massage therapists provide luxurious massages to help relax and unwind using hot Himalayan stones, deep tissue, integrative and Swedish massage with essential oils to enhance the experience, as well as couples massage, and offer detox services such as ion cleanse foot detox, detoxifying salt wraps and infrared sauna.

            Carol is a certified reiki master/teacher providing reiki healing using sound therapy promoting total relaxation, balancing of your chakras and grounding to aid in the reduction of stress and anxiety.
