Owner and Operator

Kim Carr Swords, BCHHP, CHN, CHHC, AIPCC

Kim opened Salt n’ Sauna Wellness in 2019 after years of navigating the healthcare system. Through her own diagnoses, a life-threatening scare, and her daughter’s special needs, Kim learned the importance of being an advocate for herself and her loved ones. She set out on a mission to heal herself naturally and birthed Salt n’ Sauna Wellness from her own personal health journey from “near death” to “you’re in remission”, and extended her knowledge and belief in holistic healing to the people of Alpharetta, Georgia, and surrounding areas.

Learn About Her Journey

From Illness to Wellness: The Power of Advocating for Your Health

Salt n’ Sauna Wellness was founded in 2019 out of my own healing journey with chronic illness—and the determination to become the healthiest version of myself possible. I had struggled my entire life with allergies, sinus infections, ear infections, and hypoglycemia. This was my normal—shots, medications, and constant respiratory issues—paired with a love/hate relationship with sugar.

As I got older, years of athletic wear and tear began to catch up with me, and after a severe MCL tear came the turning point—I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease and Celiac Disease, both autoimmune diseases. I thought I had already faced enough, but what happened next was life changing.

Just weeks after starting medication for Graves’ Disease, I became critically ill and was rushed to the ICU—less than an hour from death. The medication I was prescribed for Graves’ Disease caused one of the most severe reactions on record in over 60 years of its use, resulting in druginduced agranulocytosis, sepsis, tachycardia, hypotension, neutropenia, acidosis, and complete immune system failure. Three doctors told me I would not survive. It took over 10 days before my white blood cells began to rise above zero.

When I finally left the ICU—frail but alive—I wasn’t defeated. I was determined. That trauma became my wake-up call. I realized that traditional medicine wasn’t my only option, and that I needed to take charge of my own healing. My doctor gave me two choices after leaving the ICU: remove my thyroid or die. I chose neither but instead followed my own path. I chose to trust my instincts, take a natural approach, and rebuild and heal my body through holistic methods. One year later, my Graves’ Disease was in full remission—a feat no doctor believed was possible.

The driving force behind my determination was my children—especially my oldest daughter, who is special needs. She is my light, my fire, and the reason I refused to give up. My sons are my balance and strength, supporting me every step of the way. They have been my greatest motivation to live fully, heal deeply, and inspire others to do the same.

My passion for research and wellness began long before my illness, as a young mother learning to advocate for my daughter. Through her, I learned one of life’s most powerful lessons: you must advocate for yourself and your loved ones. You must be informed, ask questions, and never stop learning. That lesson became my foundation when my own life was at stake years later.

Armed with decades of experience and a renewed sense of purpose, I became quintuple-certified as a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Holistic Nutritionist, Holistic Health Coach, Health & Wellness Coach, and Autoimmune Certified Coach.

Through years of study, research, and hands-on healing, was born a mission rooting in healing and transformation, and Salt n’ Sauna Wellness was founded—a place where others can detox, restore, and discover their own path to optimal health through natural, drug-free, and effective modalities.

Detoxification is the foundation of health and longevity. In today’s environment, exposure to toxins is unavoidable—they’re in our air, in our water, and in our food. They are everywhere. The key to optimal health and a vibrant, healthy life lies in helping the body eliminate those toxins and restore balance.

At Salt n’ Sauna Wellness, we focus on modalities that promote deep healing and detoxification, including Halotherapy, Far Infrared Sauna, Chromotherapy, and Red Light Therapy. These therapies support respiratory health, heart health, cellular repair, immune function, mental health, skin health, and overall vitality.

Infrared sauna therapy, one of the most important breakthroughs for health, has been lifechanging for me and countless others dealing with autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivities, and more. It’s one of the most powerful natural tools available for restoring the body’s ability to heal itself, and probably the most important avenue for detox and living an abundant life today.

Halotherapy, Far Infrared Sauna, and Red Light Therapy, along with diet and lifestyle have become the catalyst for changing my life for the better. Each time I visit my doctors, they’re amazed by my continued recovery and resilience. When my remission was confirmed, my endocrinologist said, “You’ve done what medical science could not. I’m not going to give you advice, I’m not going to tell you what to do, because I couldn’t have gotten you to where you are today. No doctor could have. Keep doing what you’re doing—and you’re going to be aok.”

That moment confirmed what I now live for every day—to teach others how to heal, to advocate for themselves, and to empower them to become the healthiest version of who they are meant to be. Your body is wired to heal and be healthy, you just have to find a way to let it.

Salt n’ Sauna Wellness was created from this journey—a vision to bring together the most effective, science-backed natural modalities in one welcoming space where people can heal, restore, and thrive. What began as a personal quest for survival and renewal has evolved into a mission-driven business dedicated to empowering others to take control of their health. As Salt n’ Sauna Wellness continues to grow, our focus remains the same: to provide holistic, non-toxic, results-driven therapies that help every client become the healthiest version of themselves— body, mind, and soul.

Today, I proudly keep six autoimmune diseases—Graves’ Disease, Celiac Disease, Thyroid Eye Disease, Hashimoto’s, Pernicious Anemia, and Lupus—in full remission by living a clean, intentional lifestyle and incorporating the Salt n’ Sauna Wellness modalities into my daily routine. These practices aren’t just part of my business; they’re the foundation of how I live, heal, and thrive every single day.

I’m SO thankful to have found Salt n’ Sauna! Owner, Kim, always has a smile on her face to greet you and is genuinely interested in answering your questions and having discussions about wellness. Her own story of recovery is remarkable and it led me to quickly put a path in place for myself and the healing that my body (and mind) are needing right now. I’ve become slightly addicted to how much better my entire body feels after the sauna sessions and I’m now healing myself 4-5 times a week. As a hospice worker who wants to maintain the physical and emotional stamina to help others, I’m learning the best way I can continue to help others is to invest in self-care. The salt treatments they offer have been awesome to experience as well, and I love the overall peaceful and tranquil environment that Kim has created. I highly recommend Salt n’ Sauna!
