Welcome! I am Kelly DeBerg and I started AURA salt cave and wellness in July of 2017. I had first visited a salt cave with friends back in 2015 and I noticed immediately how much it had helped my sinuses which I had always struggled with. I truly believed that Western New York could benefit from halotherapy (salt therapy). I visited a handful of salt caves and rooms in different states and talked to several people about how it had helped them. I was inspired by the stories I heard and one thing led to another. All the cards fell into place for me to offer halotherapy to our WNY community. I started with the salt cave, a hand and foot detox room and two infrared saunas.

Fast forward to April 2019 and AURA had the opportunity to expand so we took action and got busy. We doubled our space and added another salt therapy room (the halo room) and three wellness rooms. We now offer massage / cupping, reflexology, facials / waxing, reiki, chakra balancing, hypnosis and past life regression. More about our services can be found here.

At the beginning of 2020 we were able to grow again and our tea room was born! This is a new and exciting adventure for us and we are thankful for the opportunity to offer our community over 150 loose leaf teas along with well over 100 bulk herbs. We buy in small batches to ensure freshness. We also started our online store as another step to offer our products beyond our local community.

I believe in natural wellness and self care and I am passionate about helping others and AURA is my way of doing so. I continue to learn something new every day and I love all the conversations with our customers. I love my AURA family and we have all met some really special people over the past few years. We are grateful and so very thankful for each and every one of you.
