DRIPPING SPRINGS— Salt & Light, a locally owned wellness spa in Dripping Springs, celebrated its ribbon cutting Thursday, March 26, marking the opening of a space intentionally designed for rest, restoration and whole-body care.
Hosted in conjunction with the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce, the ceremony honored the beginning of a business rooted in supporting the community’s well-being, offering a place to slow down, regulate the nervous system and care for both respiratory and overall health in a gentle, accessible way, according to a news release.
Salt & Light was created in response to the growing need for spaces that support deep rest in a fast-paced world. Through services, such as halotherapy (dry salt therapy), infrared and oxygen/mineral sauna sessions, sound therapy, somatic-based experiences and lymphatic support, the spa provides natural, non-invasive options that help clients breathe easier, release tension and restore balance, said owner Valerie Hemming. Halotherapy works by dispersing microscopic, medical-grade salt particles into the air, which are gently inhaled to help clear the respiratory system, reduce inflammation and support skin health. The environment is intentionally calm, welcoming individuals and families alike, with offerings designed to meet people where they are in their wellness journey.
“We wanted to create a space that holds people,” said Hemming. “A place where you can arrive as you are and leave with more of yourself. This is about supporting the body’s ability to reset, whether through the breath, the nervous system or simply giving yourself permission to pause. Salt & Light helps clients breathe easier, release tension and restore balance. Many clients also notice improved mental clarity and a deeper sense of calm as the body begins to unwind."
To celebrate its opening, Salt & Light is offering a limited number of complimentary 30-minute salt therapy sessions, giving the community an opportunity to experience the service firsthand.
Salt & Light is located at 701 W. US 290, Suite 102, Dripping Springs. For more information or to book a session, visit www.saltandlightatx.com or call or text 512-400-6067.
