The Salt House is a Halotherapy (Dry Salt Therapy) and complementary therapies clinic located in the alpine village of Methven. The clinic offers 100% drug-free, non-invasive techniques designed to help the body restore balance naturally, set within a relaxing therapeutic environment for clients to unwind and rejuvenate.
Beyond Halotherapy, The Salt House specialises in a range of complementary therapies including QEnergy Detox Foot Spa, Emmett Technique, Bowen Technique, PhysioKey Therapy and various forms of massage. The clinic emphasises personalised, caring service, combining advanced technology with natural products such as pure salts, organic coconut oil and 100% pure essential oils.
The Salt House also produces its own range of health and wellbeing products, hand-made to order in the clinic. The team includes Cherie, a qualified Halotherapy Technician, Bowen and Emmett Therapist, Relaxation Massage Therapist and PhysioKey Practitioner, and Jo, a Relaxation and Sports Massage Therapist who trained in London before returning to her hometown of Methven in 2013.
Set in the alpine village of Methven, The Salt House offers a quiet, therapeutic escape built around Halotherapy, also known as Dry Salt Therapy, alongside a range of complementary treatments. The clinic's approach is centred on natural, non-invasive techniques — no drugs, no injections, just methods designed to help the body restore its own balance.
At the heart of The Salt House's offering is Halotherapy — simply breathing in a dry salt aerosol for therapeutic benefit. It's a practice that has been used in Europe for over 80 years, valued for supporting respiratory and skin health while also promoting relaxation, revitalisation and general wellbeing. For visitors to Methven looking for something restorative after a day on the mountain, or locals wanting a regular wellness ritual, the Salt Room offers a calm, dedicated space to unwind.
Beyond Halotherapy, The Salt House offers a wider suite of complementary therapies, including the QEnergy Detox Foot Spa, Emmett Technique, Bowen Technique and PhysioKey Therapy. These are paired with various massage offerings, including Relaxation Massage with Hot Stones, Deep Tissue Massage, dry needling and cupping therapy — giving clients a genuine choice depending on whether they're after relaxation, muscle recovery, or a more targeted therapeutic treatment.
The Salt House's approach extends to the products used and sold in the clinic. Treatments incorporate natural ingredients like pure salts, organic coconut oil and 100% pure essential oils, and the clinic produces its own Salty Indulgence range of health and wellbeing products, hand-made to order on site.
The Salt House's therapists bring different specialities to the clinic. Cherie is a qualified Halotherapy Technician, Bowen and Emmett Therapist, Relaxation Massage Therapist and PhysioKey Practitioner, described as an intuitive practitioner with a deep understanding of how complementary therapies support overall health and wellbeing. Jo, meanwhile, studied remedial massage therapy in London in 1999 and worked across various multidisciplinary practices before returning to her hometown of Methven in 2013. Jo specialises in Deep Tissue massage, dry needling and cupping therapy, bringing a more sports-and-recovery-focused approach to her sessions.
The Salt House places a strong emphasis on personalised care, treating each client's needs individually rather than offering one-size-fits-all treatments. This is paired with the use of advanced technology alongside the clinic's natural product range, giving clients a blend of modern and traditional approaches to wellness.
The Salt House is open seven days by appointment only, and is located at Suite 3, The Mall, Methven — look for the aqua blue door next to Bayleys Real Estate.
