Tonya Marin
Holistic Halo Healing LLC, Owner
Unlike many entrepreneurs who launch a business from a long-held dream, Tonya Marin's journey to creating Holistic Halo Healing, LLC was sparked by something different: a powerful, firsthand healing experience and an unexpected call to share it.
After her very first Halotherapy session, Tonya felt a profound shift. Her body felt clearer. Her mind felt lighter. She experienced emotional and mental relief in ways she hadn’t expected. That moment became a catalyst -- not only for her own healing but for her desire to support her family and community in experiencing the same benefits.
What began as personal curiosity quickly evolved into a passionate mission: to bring the natural, transformative power of Dry Salt Therapy to others. Tonya felt driven to create a space where her community, friends, and family could breathe easier, heal more deeply, and feel energetically balanced.
Today, Tonya is proud to offer Halotherapy sessions that support wellness of the body, mind, and spirit. And when she’s not in the salt pod helping others heal, she’s balancing a full and joyful life as a wife, a mom to energetic twin boys, and a full-time technology director -- all roles she deeply cherishes.
Through Holistic Halo Healing, Tonya is honored to walk alongside others on their healing journeys, one breath at a time.

Integrative Nutrition Health Coach & Workshop Facilitator
Hayley H. Skinner, MPH, MSc, INHC
For many of us, there comes a point in midlife when something begins to feel… off. A good night’s sleep becomes harder to come by. Stress feels heavier. Our body feels different in ways that are difficult to explain. It’s not always clear when it started or exactly what has changed—somewhere along the way, in the noise and demands of everyday life, we lost touch with our internal cues guiding us to better health. But those cues are still there, and they are worth listening to.
As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, my mission is to create a supportive, grounded space where you can pause, breathe, and begin to tune back in—so you can make your health a priority again. In our work together, we focus on gently observing patterns, exploring what truly nourishes you—physically, emotionally, and, where it resonates, spiritually—and supporting you in making meaningful, sustainable shifts toward a more balanced and health-promoting life.
In addition to one-on-one coaching, I offer workshops on topics that often arise during this stage of life, including perimenopause, weight-loss medications, cognitive health, and caring for aging parents. These sessions are designed to be both informative and connective—creating space for learning, reflection, and shared conversation.
Whether working with individuals or in groups, all of my work shares a simple but powerful intention:
To create space.
To listen.
To trust your body.
To honor what you need…
So you can begin to feel more like yourself again. If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to reach out to schedule a complimentary 30-minute consultation. I would love to connect with you.
