Our Story

We are passionate about helping our clients find all-natural relief from a variety of ailments.

We are the Nowakowski family! Ryan and I have been married since 2008. We have three beautiful children — Nolan, Teagan and Tenley — two dogs, three cats, two leopard geckos, two mini horses, three goats, and more than 20 chickens. We love spending time with our animals, hiking, traveling and hanging out with our friends.

Ryan and I were introduced to salt therapy in 2019 when I decided to try it with my kids to help with chronic sinus and ear infections. After a few sessions, we all started to feel a difference. We began going once a week until COVID shut down the world.

Since then, it has been my dream to open up my own salt therapy spot. I truly believe in salt therapy and the difference it can make in our lives and our children.

In 2009, my family and I started a non-profit organization, Your Choice to Live, Inc. The non-profit organization's primary focus is drug and alcohol prevention education.

Since its inception, I have been sharing my story of being a sibling of someone who uses substances. In 2022, I published my first book, The Shadow Child: Living with a Sibling's Addiction.

In 2022, after 12 years of providing drug and alcohol prevention throughout the Midwest, I decided it was time to step down and follow my dream of opening my own salt therapy place. That dream became a reality in May 2022 when we purchased our space in Oconomowoc, WI.
