Eight years ago, I went on a wellness retreat run by Ritu, not knowing it would completely change my life.
It was May in Vermont, and my seasonal allergies were unbearable. I was severely congested, struggling to breathe, dealing with a pounding headache, and completely exhausted from lack of sleep. I had tried every allergy medication under the sun, but nothing provided lasting relief.
Then, everything changed.
Ritu and her team took us to a salt therapy room. I had never heard of halotherapy before and assumed we were just there for one of Lisa Campbell’s incredible guided meditations. But what happened next was nothing short of amazing—I walked out of that salt cave and, for the first time in weeks, I could breathe deeply and freely. That night, I slept like a rock, and days later, I was still feeling the benefits of that one session.
Having worked in hospitals for nearly 30 years, my science-driven brain struggled to comprehend how sitting in a room with salt for 45 minutes could make such a difference. But the results spoke for themselves.
I had to know more.
So, I started making the 90-minute drive to Salem, New Hampshire, every week—because that was the closest halotherapy center I could find. Week after week, I kept going, and something incredible happened. My allergy symptoms faded, my breathing improved, my sleep deepened, and I wasn’t relying on over-the-counter allergy medications anymore.
After six months of consistent sessions and countless hours of research, I knew salt therapy wasn’t just a fad—it was a game-changer. And I knew I had to bring this natural wellness treatment closer to home.
