A local entrepreneur, Kari Mullins, shares her inspiring journey from a family of contractors to the proud owner of The Halo Salt Room and Wellness Spa in Lexington, Kentucky. In this exclusive interview, she unveils the transformative power of salt therapy, discusses the unique wellness options offered by her spa, and explores the incredible benefits of PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency) BEMER devices.

Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, Kari always had a knack for business. Her journey began at the age of 15 when she worked at a natural health store in San Diego, where the owner’s holistic approach to health left a lasting impression. Fast forward through a corporate career, advertising, marketing, and insurance, Kari found herself drawn to the world of wellness, eventually leading to the creation of The Halo Salt Room and Wellness Spa.

Salt Therapy: A Personal Journey

The idea for The Halo Salt Room and Wellness Spa was sparked by Kari’s personal experience with salt therapy. Suffering from allergy-induced asthma, she was introduced to the concept by a friend and a doctor who highlighted the benefits of salt therapy for allergies. The remarkable improvement in her breathing became the catalyst for her journey into the world of holistic health.

As the pandemic shifted the landscape of traditional networking, Kari faced challenges in her insurance business. It was during a visit to a salt room that the idea struck – salt therapy was needed – conveniently located near the interstate, in Hamburg, for easy accessibility. Extensive research followed, leading to the creation of The Halo Salt Room and Wellness Spa.

A Holistic Approach to Wellness

The Halo Salt Room and Wellness Spa offers more than just salt therapy. In addition to their signature salt rooms, the spa features an infrared sauna, massage therapy, and PEMF BEMER devices FDA-approved for stimulating blood flow.

They have one device to use in the spa, and two devices to rent for in-home use.

Kari is also studying for her Integrative Health Practitioners license, showcasing her commitment to a comprehensive approach to wellness. 

Owning a business is no easy feat, especially during a pandemic. However, Kari expresses the positive impact it has had on her health. Despite the stress, she has lost 25 pounds and experienced an overall improvement in her well-being.

Education and Networking

The dissemination of information on the advantages of salt therapy is significantly facilitated through networking. Kari is actively engaged with various local organizations, including Ladies Leads of Lexington, Women Empowering Business, and the Chamber of Commerce. The Small Business Development Center and Community Ventures, both local entities, played a pivotal role in the implementation of The Halo Salt Room and Wellness Spa.

Unique Offerings: What Sets The Halo Salt Room Apart

What makes the Halo Salt Room and Wellness Spa stand out is their commitment to providing a spa-like experience. With cozy leather chairs and smaller, intimate salt rooms, the spa prioritizes client comfort. Deliberately designed on a smaller scale, the salt rooms are a distinctive feature of their wellness facility. Opting for two compact spaces, as opposed to a single larger one, serves a specific purpose. Unlike larger communal caves where it may take up to 45 minutes for the halo generator to distribute salt, their intentionally smaller rooms enable a high-quality session in a shorter period of time. This strategic approach ensures efficiency and effectiveness in their salt therapy offerings. The duration of their sessions are tailored to cater to individual needs, offering flexibility with options of either 25 or 50 minutes. The shorter 25-minute session is ideal for those seeking regular maintenance, focusing on maintaining optimal respiratory function. On the other hand, the extended 50-minute session is good for individuals battling more acute challenges. 

The inclusion of BEMER devices, a rarity in the industry, further enhances the spa’s unique offerings.

The Power of BEMER PEMF Devices: A Fascinating Story

Kari shares a captivating story about how BEMER partnered with a cycling team in the Race Across America. Remarkably, cyclists using BEMER routines in a recovery van during the race set a world record and finished two and a half days ahead of other teams. The devices aid not only in athletic recovery but also in injury rehabilitation, surgery recovery, and overall blood flow improvement.

NASA and BEMER have partnered in the joint development of a prototype of a space suit, which improves microcirculation while preventing bone and muscle atrophy during space missions. It underscores the technology’s importance in stimulating blood vessels when deprived of Earth’s electromagnetic field. This therapy should also assist recuperation after space travel. 

The device, with its subtle stimulation of blood flow, is universally beneficial. BEMER products are currently used globally by over hundreds of thousands of consumers, hospitals and clinics, and professional athletes.
