Nestled in the heart of Hood River is a true labor of love handbuilt by a husband (Daniel) for his wife (Angelina) as a dedication to her son Christian Alois (unexpectedly passed in 2021 at thirty one years old blindsided by illness), her surviving daughter Ana, and grandkids.
As you slowly enter the cave, a deep level of stillness surrounds you as a seven foot cherub wing invites you in as its guardian offering healing, hope, deep rest, and the invitation to explore through self-reflection.
"As Angelina opened the door for me to step inside her cave, as I looked around, I felt a deep, deep sense of peace overcome me."
It took over 'one million touches' for Daniel to meticulously hand-place each non-toxic corn starch bead which encourages sensory exploration.
Sandstone and Basalt Rock help regulate the cool temperatues of this microclimate which immulates salt mines in Europe to deliver halotherapy, and pays homage to the geology of the Columbia River Gorge.
"I enjoyed my experience with Angelina, educating and guiding me through her holistic wellness package which encouraged me to talk through some of my questions and challenges. She knows a lot!"
What is Halotherapy? It's the inhaling of fine, dry salt air to help improve one's respiratory system, skin health and offers stress-relief benefits in every session. That good feeling we experience walking the beach after inhaling sea salt water mist triggers our brain to release serotonin just like we get pain relief after gargling salt water.
