ABOUT US
Northern Nevada's Specialists in Lymphedema, Lipedema & Oncology Rehabilitation
Our Team
Dr. Nina Routon
PT, DPT, CLT-LANA
Dr. Nina Routon earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Creighton University in 2013 and has dedicated her career to helping people with complex medical conditions regain function, confidence, and quality of life.
As the founder and owner of Salt + Light Wellness, Nina established the practice in 2024 with a vision of providing compassionate, evidence-based care for people living with lymphedema, lipedema, and cancer-related conditions. She founded Salt + Light Wellness after seeing how difficult it can be for people with lymphatic conditions to find knowledgeable, compassionate care
A Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT-LANA), Nina has advanced training in lymphedema management and oncology rehabilitation. Throughout her career, she has helped develop several lymphedema and oncology rehabilitation programs across Northern Nevada, giving her extensive experience caring for patients with complex and often overlooked conditions.
Nina also has advanced training in Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation and helped launch Northern Nevada’s first Rock Steady Boxing program for individuals with Parkinson’s disease in 2015.
She believes exceptional healthcare goes beyond treating a diagnosis—it means caring for the whole person. Nina is passionate about empowering her patients through education, individualized treatment, and genuine relationships that help them feel heard, supported, and hopeful about their health.
Outside the clinic, Nina enjoys spending time outdoors snowboarding, hiking, and camping, and making memories with her husband, their two daughters, and their dogs.
Dr. Bailey Weston,
PT, DPT, MBA, CLT
Dr. Bailey Weston earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center at Shreveport in 2023. She began her physical therapy career at Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, where she specialized in wound care and diabetic foot care, developing a strong foundation in caring for patients with complex medical needs.
In 2025, Bailey and her husband returned to her hometown of Reno, Nevada, where she joined Salt + Light Wellness. Driven by a passion for helping people with lymphatic disorders, she became a Certified Lymphedema Therapist in 2026 and is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for patients with lymphedema and lipedema.
Before becoming a physical therapist, Bailey proudly served as an active-duty officer in the United States Air Force from 2012 to 2017. During her service, she worked as an Operator and Mission Qualification Training Instructor for the Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS) at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado and later served as an Assistant Professor of Aerospace Studies with Air Force ROTC Detachment 305 at Louisiana Tech University. Her military experience developed the leadership, discipline, and commitment to service that continue to shape her approach to patient care.
Bailey believes excellent physical therapy goes beyond treating symptoms. She values listening to each patient, understanding their individual goals, and helping them feel supported, educated, and empowered throughout their healing journey.
Outside of the clinic, Bailey enjoys rock climbing, hiking, snowboarding, staying active, playing the harp and piano, and spending time with her husband and their family of rescue dogs.
Myra Sarmiento Marangi
Office Manager & Patient Care Coordinator
Myra first came to Salt + Light Wellness as a patient, where she spent 4.5 years experiencing firsthand the difference that specialized lymphatic and oncology care can make. Her own experience navigating complex health challenges gave her a unique perspective on the importance of compassionate, knowledgeable care and inspired her to become part of the Salt + Light team.
With more than 30 years of experience in fitness, wellness, and education, Myra brings a lifelong passion for helping others to her role as Office Manager. Her background includes teaching fitness and wellness programs, working in education, and supporting individuals in reaching their health and wellness goals. She understands that navigating healthcare can feel overwhelming, and she is passionate about making every patient feel welcomed, heard, and cared for from their very first interaction with our office.
As the first point of contact for many of our patients, Myra helps create the warm, supportive environment that is central to the Salt + Light experience. She is dedicated to making the administrative side of healthcare feel a little easier so our patients can focus on what matters most- their health and healing.

ABOUT SALT + LIGHT WELLNESS
Salt + Light Wellness is a boutique physical therapy clinic in Carson City, Nevada, specializing in lymphedema, lipedema and oncology rehabilitation
Our team provides one-on-one, evidence-based care designed to help patients reduce swelling, improve mobility, restore function, and regain confidence after illness, surgery, or cancer treatment
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Salt & Light Wellness was created from a simple belief: healthcare should restore hope.
Too often, people living with lymphedema, lipedema, or cancer-related complications feel unheard, rushed, or told to simply "live with it." We knew there had to be a better way.
We created Salt & Light Wellness to provide exceptional, evidence-based care in an environment where every person is seen, valued, and treated with compassion. We believe healing is about more than reducing symptoms, it's about restoring confidence, independence, and quality of life.
Our name reflects the calling that inspires everything we do. We strive to be the "salt of the earth and the light of the world" by serving others with excellence, integrity, and genuine compassion. Whether you're recovering from cancer treatment, managing lymphedema or lipedema, or working toward better movement and function, our goal is to walk alongside you every step of the way.
Because we're not just in the healthcare business, we're in the hope business.
