Visit "The Healing Tent"
Located in South Asheville (Arden)
I'm loving red light therapy, and I wanted to create a healing space separate from my home and found this amazing blow-up tent. It was quick and easy to blow up, I added the purple string lights, and I just love the space - I think you will too! ~ Coach Wanda Marie

Relax, Release and Heal
DIY (do-it-yourself) Healing is on the table inside the Healing Tent. There is a massage table with a red light mat for full body coverage. Red Light Therapy (RLT) uses low-level, 630-700nm red/near-infrared light to boost cellular energy and reduce inflammation, enhancing physical healing and pain relief, among other benefits. A total body wellness session is typically done 3 times a week for 20 minutes and cost roughly $25-$200 per session with a healing practitioner.​
Red Light Therapy Benefits
Key Benefits of Red Light Therapy
-
Pain Relief & Healing: Improves circulation, treats arthritis, muscle soreness, joint pain, and accelerates wound healing and helps with weight loss.
-
Skin Health: While generally safe, red light therapy can cause temporary skin irritation as it stimulates collagen production to improve texture, reduce wrinkles, and treat acne or psoriasis.
-
Hair Growth: Increases blood flow to hair follicles, promoting growth in thinning hair.
-
Other Potential Uses: Researchers are studying its effect on reducing cancer treatment side effects (like mouth sores) and systemic inflammation.
How It Works
RLT is often called photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level laser therapy (LLLT). The red light particles (photons) penetrate the skin (about 5-10mm) and are absorbed by the mitochondria in cells, strengthening them to perform better, improve repair, and reduce inflammation. RLT is considered non-invasive, non-toxic, and generally safe, as it does not use UV light.
-
Temporary Effects: Minor, temporary redness or skin irritation may occur.
-
Safety Precaution: It is advised to consult a healthcare provider, especially if you have chronic health conditions or are pregnant.

Not Just for Physical Healing
The Healing Tent is more than a space for physical restoration—it is a sacred sanctuary for mental and emotional renewal. It offers a retreat for anyone seeking a moment to simply be: to meditate, reflect, or reconnect with themselves. Whether you need a pause after a long day at work, a quiet escape from a bustling household, or a private moment without the cost of a spa or the distraction of a coffee shop or bar, this space welcomes you. It is for the busy parent who has just dropped the children off at school, the individual navigating stress or relationship challenges, or anyone longing for time to think, journal, and recharge. The Healing Tent provides the freedom to reconnect with yourself and realign with your soul—a sanctuary for survival.
The Healing Tent is spacious inside, equipped with chairs for sitting upright, pillows for sitting on the floor, or enjoy stretching out and relaxing on the massage table with or without engaging red light therapy.
