Natalie Ward opened Saltbloom in 2013 as a two-room massage studio with one rule: no one should feel rushed. Guests stayed so long after their treatments that we eventually needed a garden.
Today Saltbloom has a saltwater pool, a cedar sauna, a facial bar and twenty-two licensed therapists. The rule is the same: the afternoon is yours.
