⚓Nutshell Version of Deepa's Story

 For decades, I burned my candle at both ends - as a physician, wife, mom... until a rare autoimmune disease became my tipping point I could no longer ignore.

In those moments of reflection & the stillness that followed, I learned something medicine alone could not teach me ... a spiritual truth both ancient and deeply personal: That true healing is something we allow & it begins from within.

Together with my husband Peter, Co-Founder & CEO, we created Salt & Light Wellness, as a sanctuary here in Springfield. Rooted in faith, guided by science, and inspired by the rhythms of nature. A space to pause, restore, and return to life from a place of wholeness and give back from inner overflow. 

We believe we are called To Be Salt - grounded and essential, preserving what matters and enhancing richness …

And that we are called To Reveal & Shine Light - radiating, illuminating, and igniting what lies ahead ...                                    

Our hope is that Salt & Light Wellness becomes one of your lighthouses - steady, welcoming, and safe …. Guiding each of us back to the Light already within .....

With Love & Light, 

Deepa Cyriac-Thirunelli, MD

Visionary & Co-Founder

🔥 A DIAGNOSIS & A TURNING POINT

“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!”
