East meets West at Port Jeff Salt Cave, a salt cave located in downtown Port Jefferson, New York, that offers salt inhalation, Reiki, guided meditation, and crystal bowl sound therapies. Founded by husband-and-wife team Rich and Marcy Guzman—registered nurses with more than 35 years of combined experience—Port Jeff Salt Cave is 266 square feet of antibacterial, antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory space. Employing a continuous fresh air exchange system, the cave is a sterile environment where you can go for alternative and holistic health therapies and experience an overall sense of improved well-being.

For many years, Marcy worked at a private home infusion company managing a Manhattan sales team. Her experience there led her to Weill Cornell Presbyterian Hospital, where she was asked to create and direct a Reiki program for the out-patient oncology department.

Reiki is a two-part Japanese word that means universal life source energy (rei) and personal life force energy (ki). A hands-on energy balancing technique, Reiki is used to reduce stress, normalize respiratory and heart rates, reduce inflammation, and enhance the immune system. Utilizing these techniques, Marcy was able to provide an effective, non-pharmacological pain management treatment to patients receiving chemotherapy. 

Marcy has since brought her Reiki practice to Port Jeff Salt Cave, where clients can experience the wonders of Reiki in the salt cave. In addition to Reiki circles, Port Jeff Salt Cave also offers salt inhalation therapy. Also known as halotherapy, salt air inhalation therapy is a drug-free way to improve respiratory problems, including allergies, sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis, and even the common cold. Spending just 45 minutes in the mineral-rich cave can also lead to improved skin conditions, digestive disorders, and other inflammatory conditions.

Clients can choose to participate in guided meditation and vibrational therapy. During guided meditation sessions, Marcy will help you quiet your busy mind and explore the present moment. Meditation has been shown to increase attention span and focus ability as well as boost the immune and cardiovascular system. During vibrational therapy, Marcy uses crystal sound bowls to cause every cell and atom in your body to vibrate, which ushers clients into a state of relaxation.

Every therapy offered at the Port Jeff Salt Cave is designed to improve and enhance your overall well-being.
