Halo Salt Rooms

Hi, I’m Liz, owner of Halo Salt Rooms. My partner Steve and I set up Halo Salt Rooms after selling our gym, Zenith Fitness. We wanted to do something different, but still within the health industry. We had learnt about Salt rooms through family in Australia and after some more research we decided it was exactly what we wanted to bring to Palmerston North, with the goal to eventually have multiple around the country. Halo Salt Rooms was established in Oct 2018. Being the first dedicated Salt Therapy Clinic in New Zealand, we are grateful for the support we have received from the community. So what is Salt Therapy? It is a natural therapy that may assist people who suffer from respiratory conditions such as Asthma, Hay Fever, Sinus Infections, and many others. It can also assist people who may have skin conditions like Eczema. How does it work? The room is set as a controlled environment and medical grade salt (pure sodium chloride) is crushed into tiny particles and blown into the air. It sits like a mist in the air and is completely safe to inhale. While people are breathing in the salt air, their body uses it to dry up phlegm

that might be sitting in the respiratory system resulting in the body naturally removing the blockages and helping people breathe better.

During the time Halo Salt Rooms have been open, we have had many people, including kids, who have used the services on a regular basis and have started to see improvement in their day to day life. In the clinic we offer 3 rooms to accommodate the diverse customer base that use our service. We have a kids room, which takes ages 6months to 13 years. It is set up with lots of fun things to do while breathing in the goodness of the medical grade

salt in the air. We often get in daycares and parents groups that use the room on a regular basis, as well as families from around the community. The kids love being able to play in the salt with all the toys and fun activities, there is even TV for those who have children that struggle to relax in a new environment. With the kids room, the cost is $15 for 1 child (first adult is free) and $10 for any additional children or parents. We offer great concession options, with 10 visits for $100 or an unlimited weekly option. This gives the flexibility

to work in with how often you need to attend and your budget. There is also a big communal room for adults and a private room for a couple or friends where you can read a book and relax while listening to the relaxing meditation music.
