Our Story
The Origins of Salvation a love story
Salvation Wellness was born from love—and a lot of laughter. It’s rooted in healing, humor, and a handmade product. In 2015, during one of my many visits to California, I met Andres on OK Cupid—and the connection was instant. From our first conversation, we were sharing laughs, listening to Phish, and geeking out over holistic wellness.
Soon after, we started blending oils in my kitchen—crafting a product to soothe his chronic pain. That product worked. Then it worked again—for friends, for family, and eventually, for thousands of clients. What started as love became a mission: to create science-backed, heart-led wellness that genuinely helps people feel better in their bodies.
Putting it to the test
One day, my skeptical father – battling chronic hip pain – became our first unexpected test subject. Andres and I had created a unique herbal salve. Blended from scratch using our combined knowledge of massage therapy, herbalism, and body mechanics, it was still in early stages. But he had nothing to lose, so my dad applied the salve.
The breakthrough
His reaction was immediate and suprising. He stood up with ease. He exclaimed : “whoa my hip pain is gone! Its like a salvation!”
IN THAT MOMENT SALVATION WAS BORN
That breakthrough led to dozens of reformulations, rigorous client testing, and hands-on use in our massage sessions. What began as a single blend turned into a product line—and that promise became our mission. Our Jersey City flagship became our testing ground, a living lab where we continue to refine every oil, salve, and protocol based on research, and how real people respond.
We weren’t just making massage products. We were building a new standard for how wellness should feel: effective, grounded, and deeply personal.
More than salve
Today, Salvation Wellness is more than a product, more than a wellness studio. It’s a movement where love, scientific curiosity, and clinical expertise come together to create something entirely new.
We blend the art of touch with the science of healing designing everything we offer to help people feel better in their bodies, minds, and lives. From custom therapeutic oils to trauma-informed care, our philosophy is simple: healing should work. And it should feel like home.
