The Owners
Breathe Easy Salt Spa is locally owned by Rob and Stacy Gebhardt and actually began as a dream when their son, Myles was diagnosed at three weeks old with Cystic Fibrosis. The disease changed their lives and the life of their son forever. On that day in April 2009, the Gebhardt’s vowed they would do whatever it takes to give their son the best quality of life.
Although they currently work with an amazing team of physicians, they have researched additional therapies that might enhance Myles’ treatment. Their research pointed them in the direction of salt spas, which are a relatively new phenomenon in the States but widely used throughout Europe. Now, three years later, their dream to provide salt treatment to those with respiratory issues, chronic sinus infections, or anyone with a desire to live a healthy lifestyle are a reality.
