Naturally Bronzed Brings Recovery Stacking to Long Island With Three Modalities Under One Roof

Great Neck, United States - August 30, 2026 /Naturally Bronzed Wellness Studio/

GREAT NECK, N.Y., Aug. 26, 2026 - Naturally Bronzed wellness studio has opened in Great Neck, NY, co-founded by cancer survivor and sunless tanning artist Sandra Eliyahu and U.S. Army combat veteran and tech professional Edward Korn. The opening marks the arrival of a structured recovery stacking Long Island model built around science-informed modalities and personal experience with illness, caregiving, and loss.

The studio launches with a focus on healthy aging and cellular recovery, anchored by three core offerings: the Merican M6N full-body red light bed, the Clearlight Sanctuary Y infrared sauna, and Echo Refresh molecular hydrogen therapy. The combination reflects a layered, whole-body approach that is drawing attention from practitioners and wellness-focused individuals across the region.

Two Founders, Four Decades Apart

The story behind Naturally Bronzed wellness studio is as distinct as its programming. Sandra Eliyahu and Edward Korn, once high school sweethearts, reconnected after more than 40 years apart - and found that their separate paths through caregiving, illness, and loss had shaped nearly identical convictions about how people deserve to support their own health.

Sandra, a mother of five and a cancer survivor, spent years balancing family life with a steady commitment to movement and resilience, training as a Pilates instructor, Reiki practitioner, and Theta Healing practitioner along the way. Ed, a U.S. Army combat veteran and father of three, built a career in technology and systems while caring for an aging parent and later navigating the loss of his wife. Health became personal for both of them long before it became a business - for Sandra, during treatment; for Ed, while watching his father decline and then losing his wife, Rae. He has since become a Level 1 H2 Advisor certified through the Molecular Hydrogen Institute, directing that research background into the studio's hydrogen therapy protocols.

Together, they designed the Great Neck studio around the equipment and protocols they personally researched and used - built as the kind of private, education-first space they each wished had existed during their own most difficult seasons.

"We both came to this from very real, personal places," said Sandra. "Caregiving and illness taught us what the body goes through and what it actually needs to recover. We didn't build Naturally Bronzed to convince people to live differently. We built it to share the lifestyle that has enriched our own lives."

The Science Behind Recovery Stacking

Recovery stacking refers to the intentional layering of complementary recovery modalities in sequence, designed to compound their individual effects on the body. At Naturally Bronzed wellness studio, clients move through structured protocols: pairing deep thermal sweating in the Clearlight Sanctuary Y infrared sauna with photobiomodulation in the Merican M6N full-body red light bed, then completing the sequence with Echo Refresh molecular hydrogen inhalation therapy for cellular antioxidant support. The approach to recovery stacking Long Island clients experience here is designed to fit within a single studio visit rather than requiring multiple facilities.

"Three memberships. One connected studio," explained Ed. "We wanted to eliminate the friction of visiting three different facilities for sauna, red light, and hydrogen therapy. Stacking these modalities in a single, seamless visit allows our members to optimize recovery time and achieve consistent wellness routines."

The studio positions recovery stacking as a defined wellness category rather than an extension of traditional spa services. Each piece of equipment was selected based on peer-reviewed research interest in its mechanisms. No medical claims are made by the studio, and all programming is framed around general wellness and support for the body's natural processes.

Filling a Local Gap

Before Naturally Bronzed opened, access to red light therapy Great Neck and the broader North Shore of Long Island offered was limited largely to gym add-ons or smaller personal devices. The studio's full-body Merican M6N unit represents a different tier of access - one more commonly associated with performance recovery centers in major metropolitan areas. By locating in Great Neck, Sandra and Ed identified a community with demonstrated interest in preventive health and longevity-focused wellness that lacked a dedicated facility offering this combination of modalities under one roof.
