Just Breathe, a salt room by NBH is now Just Breathe, a salt room and healing center!
Why did we change our name? For one thing, many people thought that the “NBH” meant that we are a franchise. New Beginnings to Health, aka NBH, was the name of my functional coaching business long before I owned the salt room. I kept it for sentimental reasons but, quite honestly, it just caused confusion and I have decided that it is time to release what is no longer serving me, something we really work on at Just Breathe, and move on.
Just Breathe, a salt room and healing center accurately describes who we are and what we do.
The salt room offers relief for so many conditions. Of late, we have seen clients come in who are looking for stress relief or help with their anxiety. Just Breathe is truly an oasis where people can escape their stress and leave their concerns by the door. People come in, as I like to say, with their hair on fire. They are stressed out by their jobs, the traffic, a fight with their friend, whatever. Within moments of coming in Just Breathe, they are much calmer and they haven’t even settled into the salt room yet.
In the salt room, we spray pure, pharmaceutical grade salt that is about the size of your red blood cells into the air. While you sit back in zero-gravity chairs and relax, you breathe that salt deep into your lungs. That salt contains negative ions which change our biochemistry to help us feel calmer, less anxious, and less stressed. There are no electronics allowed in the salt room so people frequently lose track of time and can’t believe that 45 minutes has passed. Many do not want to leave and say that when they went to bed that night, they got the best sleep of their lives.
Besides stress, salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, helps relieve symptoms of breathing conditions such allergies, asthma, colds, flu, COPD, bronchitis, and emphysema, to name a few. The salt also contains anti-inflammatory properties that help calm psoriasis and eczema. It is similar to going to the beach but you don’t feel like you need a shower after and you don’t need to wear toxic sunscreens.
The salt room is definitely a piece of the healing aspect at Just Breathe, but, if you are looking for more than symptom relief, we also have a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach, Missy Cohen, MPH MT, who was trained, and continues to study, through the School of Applied Functional Medicine. Unlike conventional medicine, instead of covering up symptoms, functional medicine explores why you are having symptoms and not feeling your best in the first place. We guide clients to improve their health through lifestyle changes and, while we may offer you “quick fixes” through supplementation, ultimately, our goal is to help your body do what it is designed to do which is to keep you healthy.
We also have a Trager® specialist, Linda MacConnell, on staff. Linda helps the body release holding patterns that may be the result of lifestyle such as spending too much time in front of a computer or an injury.
Perhaps, you would just like a massage. Just Breathe also has two licensed massage therapists on staff.
Often, physical ailments can benefit from spiritual help. Just Breathe has two amazing women who offer Quantum Healing. The best way that I can describe this is an advanced form of Reiki. Energy medicine has been around since the beginning of time, and Francesca Marrone and Mimi Boudreau are available to aid you in this piece of your healing experience.
Besides our wonderful practitioners, Just Breathe also offers Guided Meditations and a Relax and Destress class multiple times during the week in the salt room. There are also various workshops from aromadance, to workshops about manifestion, and sound healings performed by the talented, retired opera singer, Priscilla Gale.
