My Sanctuary of Wellness — Local services in Sarasota

I recently took my 5 D, 10 S, 14 D and 6m baby to a local salt spa room for kids and families, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we walked in, the environment felt welcoming, clean, and thoughtfully designed with children in mind.

The salt room itself was cozy and calming, with gentle lighting and soft music playing in the background. The walls and floor were covered in Himalayan salt, and there were plenty of toys and books to keep little ones entertained while they relaxed. My daughter especially loved the “beach toys," where she could dig and play — almost like being at the beach but without the mess.

What impressed me most was how the session seemed to benefit her breathing. She has mild asthma and often struggles with congestion, but after just one 45-minute session, she said she felt like she could "breathe better." That night, she slept more soundly than usual, which made a big difference for both of us.

The staff were kind, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced in working with children. They explained how halotherapy works in simple terms and were very reassuring throughout the visit.

I was initially skeptical, but after seeing how relaxed and refreshed my daughter was — and how much she enjoyed herself — we'll definitely be coming back for regular sessions. Highly recommended for parents looking for a natural, peaceful wellness option...

I had an excellent experience here. The owner has good energy and felt welcomed the entire visit. I love how there is a salt therapy room catered to youth. They need it just as much, if not more than us adults! My baby has had a deep congested cough for over a week, which has interrupted his nap and sleep time. I wish we found this place earlier because halfway through our session he fell sound asleep and finally relaxed as I held him in the zero gravity chair. I feel the salt took down the inflammation in his bronchial tubes and dried up his cough a bit. I also had sinus pressure that felt relieved by end of session. We both felt great and will definitely return! His mucus was productive with his sneezes after we left. The power of nature shines bright here.

I personally suggest ensuring hydration for you and the kids, before and after; Perhaps having water ready immediately after to help body rid toxins.

The healthy products by the front counter make for really good stocking...

A wonderful experience!! My 4 year old daughter and I went to give it a try because we’ve had some congestion and a cough for about a month now. We immediately started breathing easier after just 45 minutes in the salt room! The room is perfectly designed with lots of things for children to play with sand toys on the salt floor and more toys and activities next to the sand, she wanted to play all day. And at the same time there was a very comfortable lounge chair and blanket where I found myself so relaxed. The way they pumped the salt into the air to fill the room while getting to physically play in the salt on the floor, really made it feel like we were getting all the health benefits possible. Already have our next appointment and bringing the 2 year old...
