From the reviews

I love getting a massage in the salt cave! Feels like a different world. Coco was my therapist and the massage/cupping felt amazing

★★★★★ — Ryan, Apr 2026

Today was our first experience in Native Salt Cave, the staff was very nice and the super clean. The atmosphere was very relaxing. We drove an hour just to visit this place and I was worth it. My massage therapist was Juli, she’s absolutely amazing, it was very relaxing and I felt refreshed.

★★★★★ — Merilie, Aug 2024

This place is a 10 out of 10!! This is my first time experiencing salt cave massage and I got my money worth out it!!! It’s clean and the staff were friendly. They explained everything to me before getting into amassage, which didn’t go it my time. I fell asleep in the bed, which nothing else needs to be explained.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Nov 2025

Today, I visited Native Salt Cave & Wellness and it was honestly one of the most relaxing experiences I’ve ever had. The atmosphere alone is incredible, the massage takes place in a cave-like room filled with Himalayan rock salt, with the floor completely covered, creating such a unique and calming environment.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
