"The St. Francis prayer resonates with me because it emphasizes peace, compassion, and selflessness, offering a guide to live with love, understanding, and a deep sense of purpose."

This innovative approach has not only provided relief for numerous health conditions but has also earned The Salt Room accolades such as the Best of Las Vegas, with features in major publications including the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Los Angeles Times.
