About the Experience

Guests are welcomed into the tranquil warmth of the spa's indoor pool, where soft lighting and gentle ripples set the tone for deep relaxation. Floating effortlessly in heated water or reclining poolside, the body is bathed in the soothing vibrations of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, wooden flutes, drums, and gongs. 

As sound waves move through both water and body, muscles release, the mind quiets, and energy realigns. The experience concludes with a gentle return to stillness, leaving guests renewed, grounded, and wrapped in a lingering sense of calm and serenity.

Space of Gratitude

Salamander Washington DC is proud to work with wellness partner Natalie Ngounou, Founder of Space of Gratitude & Creator of Sounds of Gratitude

Natalie is a seasoned wellness advocate and curator of gratitude, blending over 20 years of experience in holistic healing, relaxation, and service into transformative experiences. In the wake of personal transitions and profound loss, she anchored her path with the affirmation “With Gratitude,” ultimately launching Space of Gratitude, turning a quiet mantra into a thriving boutique and sanctuary of balance and beauty.

Within the elegant offerings of Space of Gratitude, she champions a lifestyle of mindfulness through jewelry, clothing, gemstones, and curated reflective moments, all designed to replenish spirits and inspire mindful living. She also extends her healing influence as the creator of Sounds of Gratitude, weaving sound therapy, Yoga Nidra, energy and balance analysis, and immersive courses to guide others toward alignment and calmness.

Natalie’s work is driven by a heartfelt belief that cultivating a space of gratitude, inwardly and out in the world, can reset our energy, elevate our perspective, and invite grace into every moment.
