Recovery is having a moment up here. And not the passive, feet-up kind. At Sôlt Haus Mona Vale, founder Jen Vanstone has built something she believes is quietly redefining what restoration looks like on the Beaches, a powerful pairing of halotherapy and infrared sauna that you will not find anywhere else up here. With autumn settling in and flu season on its way, there has never been a better time to find out what your respiratory system has been missing.
Halotherapy, or salt therapy, involves breathing in micronised particles of pharmaceutical-grade sodium chloride, dispersed into the air by medical-grade halogenerators at a precise concentration of 3%, triggering physiological benefits that work from the inside out.
We see those benefits play out firsthand, session after session. People come in thinking it is a nice way to relax, and leave wondering why nobody told them sooner. Once you understand what is actually happening in the body, it makes complete sense.
Respiratory benefits are well documented. Inhaling salt particles reduces inflammation in the airways, helps clear mucus and allergens, and strengthens the body's immune defences. It is a recognised complementary therapy for asthma, seasonal allergies, lingering congestion, chronic bronchitis, and stress-related breathing dysfunction.
The nervous system benefits are just as compelling. By clearing the airways and improving breathing efficiency, halotherapy encourages slower, deeper breaths, reduces respiratory effort, and increases vagal tone. That last point matters: higher vagal tone supports parasympathetic nervous system activation, the physiological state your body needs for true repair, recovery, emotional regulation and quality sleep.
Salt's antibacterial properties extend the benefits to the skin, too. Salt aerosol creates an antibacterial microclimate on the skin's surface. Regular sessions can help soothe eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and acne-prone skin.
Now, place all of that inside an infrared sauna, and the therapeutic potential is heightened. We designed the studio with exactly this synergy in mind. The two therapies work in perfect harmony. The infrared keeps the salt particles suspended longer, your breathing deepens, and the whole body just lets go. It is a different kind of reset.
The dry heat of infrared boosts circulation, calms systemic inflammation, and promotes full-body relaxation, working in tandem with the salt to deepen the parasympathetic response. It is a remarkably unique pairing, and we are proud to be the only studio on the Northern Beaches offering it.
At Sôlt Haus, we want every Beaches COVERED reader to experience this for themselves. The Reset Series gives you three infrared salt sauna sessions for the price of two; for those who choose 45-minute sessions, it's an even greater saving. Designed to be completed within a month so you feel the cumulative difference. Every series begins with a complimentary wellness consultation, so your sessions are tailored to you from the very first visit.
Your reset starts here.
What is Vagal Tone? The vagus nerve is the body's primary rest-and-digest highway. Higher vagal tone means a faster, more effective switch from stress mode into recovery mode, supporting better sleep, digestion, immune function, and emotional resilience.
Join us for our Autumn Reset Series. 3x Salt Sauna sessions, your choice of 20 or 45 minutes, plus a complimentary personalised wellness consultation. $69 (valued at $150). Book now at solthaus.com.au/the-reset-series.
