Dry salt therapy, also called halotherapy, involves breathing microscopic dry salt particles in a controlled environment like a salt room or sauna.

How It Works
A halogenerator crushes pure sodium chloride into 1-5 micron particles and disperses them as aerosol into the air. You sit and breathe normally for 45 minutes while the salt reaches deep into lungs and contacts your skin.

Key Mechanisms
Absorbs mucus/toxins: Salt acts like a sponge, drawing out allergens, bacteria, and irritants from airways.

Anti-inflammatory: Reduces swelling in the respiratory tract and skin.

Antibacterial: Kills pathogens and dissolves pollutants lodged in lungs.

Benefits for Fern Ridge Clients -
Perfect complement to your Cody wellness services—helps asthma, allergies, sinusitis, eczema, psoriasis, stress, plus enhances EMDR/neurofeedback recovery.

When one partner lives with OCD, relationships can become consumed by cycles of reassurance, anxiety, and frustration that test emotional closeness. Yet with understanding, open communication, and therapeutic support, couples can learn to separate the disorder from the person they love and build resilience together.

Living with a family member who has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be both deeply challenging and eye-opening. Daily routines often revolve around managing rituals or anxieties that others may not fully understand, requiring patience and empathy from everyone involved. Over time, it can strengthen family bonds through mutual support, education, and a shared commitment to finding balance amid the unpredictability.

Good reminder!

As the first month of 2026 comes to an end, we are reminded of God’s unshakable faithfulness - even in the smallest moments. January may have been filled with new beginnings, hopes, and challenges, but it’s also a time to reflect on the truth that God is already working in and through us, even when we can’t see the full picture yet.

In Philippians 1:6, Paul encourages us with these words:

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

This verse holds such deep truth: God has already begun a good work in you. It’s not about waiting for the perfect moment or measuring your success by your to-do list. The work God is doing in you is a process, a beautiful unfolding that only He can fully complete.

Perhaps this month didn’t unfold exactly as you imagined. Maybe you’ve felt moments of doubt, confusion, or discouragement. But I want to remind you that God is still at work in you. Even on the days that feel like “small steps” or “delays,” He is shaping you for something greater. His plans for you are steadfast, and His promises are sure.

As we close the first chapter of 2026, let us pause and look back, not with regret, but with gratitude for the ways God has already shown His love and provision. We can trust that He is using each season - even the difficult ones - to mold us more into His likeness, and to prepare us for the next chapter.

Let’s take a moment today to reflect on this truth: We are works in progress, but God is always working in us, through us, and for us. Trust that His timing is perfect, and He will see His good work completed in your life.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your unchanging faithfulness in this first month of 2026. We trust that You are actively working in our hearts, shaping us, and guiding us every step of the way. Help us to embrace the work You’re doing in us and trust that You will complete it. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Here is an excellent book recommendation to read!
How to Build Trust and Avoid Betrayal in What Makes Love Last by John Gottman and Nan Silver is a relationship science book focused on how couples can build, measure, and repair trust, and how to recognize and prevent different forms of betrayal, not just sexual infidelity. Drawing on decades of research from Gottman’s “Love Lab,” it explains how everyday “sliding door” moments and communication patterns either strengthen emotional connection or slowly erode it, and offers practical tools for rebuilding trust when it has been damaged

Book of the Month
The Three Rooms: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life by Kevin Murphy is a short, accessible spiritual/self‑help book built around a simple metaphor of three “rooms” in the mind: the Past Room, the Future Room, and the Present Room. Murphy’s core message is that your quality of life depends on which room your thoughts spend time in, and that peace, joy, and alignment with your higher self are only available when you learn to stay in the Present Room.
