Visited the 1881 Salt Sanctuary for a couples massage with my wife in the large salt room. Check in was extremely friendly and easy and we were guided to the prep hall where shoes are left behind and you are invited to warm your feet on a salt dome before entering your reserved room. Our hour and a half session was very relaxing with gentle music, aromatic oils on towels, and of course the sensational feel of being surrounded by the saltscape. The professional LMTs asked where trouble spots were but also could identify where a knot or tightness was and work to relieve the issues. The large room system was a little noisy intermittently at times when the fan was operating to move the salt air through the space but otherwise, very serene with soft lighting, hand crafted accents and even a coarse salt floor where you can feel fully immersed. Yes you will have salty sinus' during and after your session so bring a hankie or use the tissues provided by the caring team at the Salt Sanctuary. read more

I love this place! Relaxing, and wonderful. Except for the yelling and lack of respect from a lady in the hall that was making a scene. I know the owners, and know her voice. I can say for sure that the review from Heather should say "Karen"! It's unfortunate that an appointment needs to be cancelled, but COVID is nothing to fool with in a situation where you are in close proximity to someone and touching their body. I'd rather get a massage from a 4 year old than someone who is coughing and sniffling! Overall, THe massage was great and relaxing, the staff were wonderful, and the only issue had nothing to do with the establizhment, and everything to do with poorly behaved clients who I hope are banned from coming in again. Definitely do check them out! read more

I can't express how amazing the Salt Sanctuary is. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. I have been going here since they opened and wouldn't go anywhere else for my massages, Casey and Nikki are such genuine and caring practitioners. Even if you aren't looking for a massage; they offer other spectacular options for you and your self care needs,; totally recommend the Salty Sole Scrub as well, so rejuvenating for those tired feet. The boutique is lovely and all of your needs can be easily met. They have a large selection of unique gifts, crystals and they even offer monthly subscriptions! So LOVE the Sanctuary and always look forward seeing them every month for my massage sessions . read more

I have been coming here weekly since the beginning of December. It is a wonderful environment and everyone who works there is lovely. I usually use the private salt chamber but also enjoy ther shop, their teas, salt lamps, cocoa, and crystals. It is a wonderful escape. Because I have been so happy telling everyone about 1881, my mother is now a weekly salt room user and I have sent many friends there. Everyone has told me they have had a great experience so far. read more
