    I tried out the salt caves because I read about how beneficial they are to you. So I took my son who's had the flu twice in 5 weeks. Kim the manager was outstanding. She explained the process /what to expect when you go in there she even gave me a discount because it was my first time trying it . It's a small room with four gravity chairs, the ground is big chunks of salt so your asked to wear booties when you enter. The ceiling, the walls, the lights, and the door are all covered in salt as well. There is a fan-like thing that she turns on before she leaves and the salt is distributed through into the room. The lights slowly change color and it gives it a great ambiance. I heard people talk about how relaxed they were in there. I'm a pretty tense person, but I honestly cannot believe how relaxed I was. The tension in my shoulders was gone, I was breathing better and my sinus pain went away. It's funny, because I was going there for my son, yet I also benefited from it. I just feel very calm and relaxed now. As for my son, he was very stuffed up this morning prior to going in there, I haven't heard him cough or blow his nose since we've been back. I will definitely be back. Kim explained the member benefits and I'm definitely going to take advantage of those.

    Ahhhh breathe it in...

    WOW. This review is only for the salt caves and service. I have a Tibetan Salt rock that you put a candle inside and burn to neutralize odors or energy in the room, and I swear by this thing. One time our neighbors barbecued and stunk our whole apartment up and this one candle changed everything. So to imagine myself sitting in a room made of this kind of salt breathing it in intrigued me. Really glad I came across this place! Usually I only review somewhere after I've tried more than one service or eaten a few times - however Alantra is new and everyone should experience the SALT CAVES at least once. Apparently in London and Europe salt caves are all the rage. They help with every ailment from sinus issues, ear infections, ADHD, Asthma, Bronchitis, Sleeplessness, Acne/Eczema, Psoriasis, Snoring or Arthritis. Alantra has the only salt cave in all of New England. I didn't realize how lucky we were to live so close to one. What a way to wind down a long week. Called ahead and booked an 745pm Salt Cave experience with my husband. We both got a little lost and ended up getting there 15 minutes late. Wish I could remember who helped us - but she is the nicest woman. So relaxing, giving, kind. She assured us it was no problem and we were perfectly on time because it was only us anyway and they close at 9pm and we have a 45 minute session. Ahhhhhhhh. After filling out a few forms, and locking up our shoes in a private locker w/key - we are escorted to THE CAVE. You'll first see a calming blue light and 4 zero gravity lounge chairs to kick back in. The floor is loose salt, the walls are basically spackled salt along with the ceiling - which also has shooting stars to gaze upon. Once you get started - you essentially pick a chair and get comfy. It's best to lay back as far as possible to open up the lungs and the trance music begins, the lights slowly change from blue to green to pink while a slow warm air is pumped into the cave. All you have to do is kick back and breathe it in. We both remarked immediately - the experience is like being in an acid trip. It's WEIRD. Because it was just my husband and I we could talk, however they request you keep quiet if you are sharing a room. You can bring in an iPod or a book or just sleep. When the session is over a white light in the center of the room goes on, you know to get up - get your belongings and exit quietly. You'll be a little thirsty so they are ready for you with a cold glass of cucumber water. They told us some people remark being able to sleep easier - judging from my husband immediately falling asleep in the car I'd have to say yes - it's true. It completely opens your sinuses if you have any sinus issues. And if anything - if you are not into spa experiences it's a really relaxing environment and you stay fully clothed and its a quiet time to enjoy after a long day. Who couldn't use that? On the way out we were offered introductory coupons for facials and massages or another salt cave session. I'll definitely be back. Alantra is a step above the ordinary spa experience with service and services!

    I cannot express enough how much I love Carissa! I booked for a deep massage my first appointment…read morethere and picked her. She gave me THE BEST deep massage I've ever had! I chose to see someone else there once or twice because Carissa is booked up a lot but nobody compares! She is magical and my back knots are gone. I went in for my massage appointment the other day feeling great. No knots left and it was just relaxing. I love how I can have conversation with her and she's so relatable and easy to talk to but when I am super stressed, I can just be silent and she's cool with that too. I signed up for the membership only because of Carissa's incredible skills!

    I am a little hesitant (selfishly) to write this review in fear that they will get so busy that…read moreI'll have a hard time getting an appointment! But, I just had my first massage (90mins) at this location, and all I have to say is "Wow!" and I mean that in a good way! I have been a member of ME for @ 10 years now and have been to quite a few different locations, but this one puts them all to shame!!! Great staff - from the front desk staff, to the massage therapist (Jonathan is fabulous), to one of the co-owners (Susan) who make you feel comfortable (almost like family), great atmosphere - from the relaxation room with the delicious flavored/detox water, to the perfectly lit, comfortablly temperatured rooms & massage tables, and even the bathrooms!!! And most importantly a great massage! I am very much looking forward to my monthly massages here! Thank you, ME North Reading!!
