Hello!  I’m Karen Lyons Koch, the owner of Salt Essentials Wellness.  I have been proudly calling the Tampa Bay area home for over 45 years. I am a Gulf High School and Tampa College graduate.  I spent my prior life working as a court reporter in Pasco and Pinellas Counties, and then was a stay-at-home mom, raising two now adult boys. 

 As an allergy/asthma sufferer my entire life, I was looking for an all-natural therapy to alleviate my symptoms. That’s when I discovered Halo (salt) therapy while traveling to DelRay Beach, Florida. From that first 45-minute session, I felt immediate relief and noticed incredible results.

Unfortunately, there was not a dry salt therapy facility in our area.  So, after much research and consideration, I decided to open one of my own. We started our buildout prior to the pandemic, and after much perseverance, opened our doors in October of 2020.

Now, after serving our clients and community for close to 4 years, we see more than ever the power of Halotherapy and how it can help with respiratory and skin health, as well as overall wellness by boosting our powerful immune systems. We are proud to offer life-enhancing wellness services, not only with Halotherapy, but with Infrared Sauna, Massage, Esthetician Services, and Magnetic Resonance Therapy.

It has been and will continue to be my privilege to offer the best in holistic healing to our clients and community, both young and old, and I greatly appreciate your patronage.
