After many years of living in Vermont and vacationing in Maine, James and Jennifer decided to make Maine their permanent home in 2018. With James bringing a background in sales and Jennifer coming from the dental field, they began brainstorming their next chapter.

Halotherapy became a meaningful part of Jim and Jen’s own wellness routine. They were deeply impressed by its benefits, the natural, non-invasive approach, and the simplicity that delivered real relief for a variety of conditions—all while providing a deep sense of relaxation. Inspired by their experience, they embarked on an in-depth journey of research and planning, driven by a desire to share this wellness practice with their new community. What began as a personal discovery soon grew into a true passion—and The Salt Works and Spa was born.

“We are incredibly excited to offer dry salt therapy to the community,” said Jen. “The feedback from our clients has been amazing—many are seeing real improvements in managing symptoms of allergies, asthma, sinusitis, and COPD. But it’s not just for those with respiratory or skin conditions. We also have guests who come simply to relax and feel good. Just being surrounded by and breathing in the salt creates an incredible sense of calm and well-being. We invite everyone to stop by, see the salt room, ask questions, and experience the benefits of dry salt therapy for themselves.”

James is naturally handy and enjoys spending his free time working around the house, while Jen finds joy in her flower gardens and just about anything outdoors. Whether it’s long walks on the beach, kayaking through the marshes in Wells, catching a baseball game (Jen’s a huge fan!), or simply exploring all that coastal Maine has to offer—they now get to enjoy it all on their own schedule, not just while on vacation.
