Aghalee-based wellness business Natural Salt Therapy is expanding rapidly, offering natural relief for respiratory and skin conditions to individual and commercial clients across Northern Ireland.
Over the past year, Natural Salt Therapy has benefited from support from Go Succeed. Following this support it has provided more jobs, introduced technology to enhance skin-focused treatments and through digital engagement connected with a wider audience across Ireland and the UK.
Founded by Sylvia Darragh, Natural Salt Therapy has built a growing reputation as a leading supplier of salt therapy rooms to hotels and spas throughout the UK and Ireland. It is one of only a few businesses on these islands dedicated to Halotherapy - a drug-free, holistic treatment using salt-infused air to help ease conditions such as asthma, COPD, eczema, and long-COVID.
Councillor Claire Kemp, Chair of the Regeneration and Growth Committee at Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, praising their progress said: “Natural Salt Therapy is a fantastic example of the innovation and entrepreneurial spirit we’re proud to support across Lisburn and Castlereagh. Sylvia’s drive to grow her business and introduce cutting-edge wellness services locally and internationally is inspiring, On behalf of the council I wish Sylvia continued success as she seeks to increase demand for salt rooms in new sectors and locations.”
Operating from their purpose-built salt therapy rooms in rural Lisburn and Castlereagh, Sylvia and her team welcome individuals, families and community groups seeking effective natural wellness treatments. Alongside this, the business designs, constructs, and installs custom salt rooms for top wellness destinations including Galgorm Resort, The Montenotte, The Kingsley, and The Lodge on Loch Lomond.
Founder Sylvia Darragh credits this success to strategic investment in skills, operations, and customer care and support through Go Succeed.
Slyvia added: “I’ve learned to focus on what really matters to grow the business. This means investing in people, improving processes and delivering an excellent customer experience. We’re not just offering a service - we’re building trust, wellness, and long-term relationships. The Go Succeed mentoring and support was invaluable and really supported the growth of our business.”
Natural Salt Therapy is now working on a digital transformation strategy to support future growth and is exploring opportunities to expand into new markets, with a long-term goal of becoming the leading name in salt therapy across the UK and Ireland.
