Suzann Esposito
In my free time -
In my free time, I love to play cornhole with my husband and fellow cornhole family. It is such a fun and relaxing game that we both enjoyed. I also enjoy watching my son play baseball for Lake Erie College in Ohio. It is amazing to see him develop his skills and grow as a player. And when I am not playing or watching sports, I love to curl up with a good book and get lost in a great story. Reading is the perfect way to unwind and escape from the stresses of everyday life.
When did you realize you wanted to open your own business?
During a girl’s day with a friend, I visited a salt cave and was amazed at how much it helped with their respiratory issues. I did some research and found that salt therapy, also known as halotherapy, had been used for centuries to treat respiratory and skin conditions.
I was so excited about the idea of opening my own salt therapy business, and after months of planning and preparation, I was finally ready to open their doors.
As more and more customers are starting to come in and share their positive experiences, the word has begun to spread. People were noticing a significant improvement in their respiratory health, and some even reported relief from skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Love about owning own business?
When I first decided to open my own holistic salt therapy business, I had no idea how much it would impact my life. I had always been interested in natural remedies and alternative therapies, but I never imagined that I would be able to turn that passion into a successful business.
As soon as I opened my doors, I was amazed at how many people were interested in trying salt therapy. Some were dealing with respiratory issues like allergies or asthma, while others were struggling with skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. But no matter what brought them to my business, I was determined to help them find relief.
But what I love most about owning my own business is the sense of fulfillment it brings me. Every day, I get to help people feel better and live more vibrant lives. And there's nothing more rewarding than seeing the smile on someone's face when they realize that they're finally finding relief from a chronic condition.
About me?
My name is Suzann Esposito and I have been married to Jerry Esposito for almost 26 years. We live in Beech Grove, Indiana, a small town that is full of friendly faces and tight-knit communities. We have one son, Garrett, who is the pride and joy of our lives. Garrett plays baseball for Lake Erie College in Ohio and we couldn't be more proud of his accomplishments.
Through all the ups and downs of parenting and marriage, Jerry and I have always supported each other and held each other up. Our love for each other and our son has only grown stronger over the years, and we are grateful for every moment we get to spend together as a family.

Dr. Robyn Wright
I’ve been immersed in healthcare for as long as I can remember. After earning my undergraduate degree at La Salle University, I managed a series of weight loss centers and even started my own health coaching business before entering medical school. In 2018, I earned my medical degree from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, and upon graduation, I completed a year-long residency in primary care. With over two decades of professional experience, my journey has taken me through various roles, from front desk reception to back office administration, and even a pharmaceutical rep. Yet, it was during my time in weight loss centers that something truly clicked.
Witnessing individuals try various approaches, often with little or no success, was an eye-opening experience (some even went great lengths for weight loss surgery, and still gained their weight back). As a naturopathic doctor, I found that by addressing underlying health concerns, following healthy eating principles, and making lifestyle adjustments, my patients were truly able to transform their health!
Seeing my patients revel in their results with pride and joy is what motivates me to strive for excellence as your naturopathic physician. My goal is to equip YOU with the knowledge to take control of your health, address the root causes of your concerns, and guide you towards achieving sustainable, transformative results.

SaDarin Hays
Darin Hays, is a licensed social worker (LSW) who is passionate about walking with his clients to empower them. His clinical focus is working with adolescents and young adults who may be dealing with anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, anger issues, and other emotional regulation issues. Darin uses many concepts from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma focused-cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) to provide practical tools which may include mutually agreed upon homework. He utilizes family systems theory, and the exploration of childhood development and trauma history that may have an impact on the client’s present day by using some aspects of modern psychodynamic approaches. Darin is QPR certified and has been trained in Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy. Many times people come to therapy overwhelmed and perhaps even questioning if they should be seeking help at all. Darin wants to partner with you to find the treatment that will work best for you in this process and remind you that there is hope and that you do matter. Darin believes that the most important aspect of the therapeutic experience is the presence of someone who will listen and care for you no matter what you may be facing. Darin is also a devoted Christian and would love to discuss anything pertaining to faith if you would like to bring up those conversations in session. Darin earned his Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies from Ozark Christian College and his Bachelor of Social Work from Missouri Southern State University in 2022 where he graduated with the outstanding graduate award. He went on to earn his Master of Social Work from The University of Arkansas in 2023 where he earned the MSW student award of excellence. Darin is presently under the supervision of Lisa Franklin, LCSW and is an LSW in the state of Indiana.

Sabrina Hickey
Sabrina Hickey is a Regional Development Manager with PAX Program of Academic Exchange, a non-profit foreign exchange organization placing over 700 students in American homes each year. She’s a resident of Franklin, Indiana, happily married for 24 years, and a mom of three boys! She has a passion for people, community, leadership, diversity and global impact. An alumnus of Leadership Johnson County’s signature program, she loves networking in the community and volunteering with the LJC Youth Leadership Academy because inspiring and mentoring young leaders is “her bag.” Outside of work and LJC, she is a boisterous supporter of the Franklin Community Schools Band programs! She quotes LJC’s Tandy Shuck for a great reason why hosting exchange students matter more than we think and just a priceless thought on life itself😊
“It is so easy to take things for granted in our lives, especially the smaller, hidden one; they are hiding all around us just waiting to be discovered. Today, look for the magic in those small things and in small blessings. Treasure those things, thank those people and experience those moments, because they are what truly make your life special.” Now take those moments and look at them from an outside perspective… consider how magical these small moments could be to an international exchange student who may have never experienced them before. Hundreds of PAX students await to hear the good news of where they will spend their 2024/25 exchange year. Could that be with you? Consider hosting one of our PAX students listed below or any student in our database: https://tinyurl.com/studentfinder
