Dr. Margaret Smiechowski: The True Pioneer of Halotherapy in the U.S.

The Problem of Impersonation and Stolen Project Photos

As halotherapy grows more popular, a troubling issue has emerged: people impersonating Dr. Margaret Smiechowski or using her project photos as if they were their own.

This misrepresentation confuses clients and damages the credibility of an industry built on trust, expertise, and therapeutic integrity.

Dr. Smiechowski’s work has shaped halotherapy in America, and misusing her identity undermines the standards she helped establish.

Misrepresentation and Misinformation in the Halotherapy Industry

Misinformation is spreading rapidly as more unqualified builders and marketers enter the field.

Claims that sound authoritative often come from individuals with no real understanding of halotherapy’s roots or requirements.

When false information circulates, it leads to poorly built rooms, disappointed customers, and a diluted perception of what halotherapy truly is. Protecting accurate knowledge is essential to preserving the therapy’s effectiveness.

Harmful Industry Claims That Mislead Clients

Statements like “a drop ceiling is fine” or “no one will tell you the truth unless you pay them” are becoming common, and they’re damaging.

These oversimplifications ignore the precise engineering, airflow, materials, and environmental conditions required for genuine therapeutic results.

Cutting corners doesn’t just compromise the experience; it misleads clients and lowers standards across the entire industry.

Salt Rooms Built Without Understanding Real Therapy

Too many salt rooms are built with an “if I can see it, I can build it” mindset.

But halotherapy is not just about appearance.

A salt room must be designed to support therapeutic outcomes, not simply look the part.

Without professional knowledge and experience, what gets built is little more than a decorative room, missing the purpose and benefits that halotherapy was created to deliver.

Dr. Smiechowski’s decades of innovation and clinical insight have transformed salt therapy into a respected wellness modality in the U.S.
