With good parking and overspill parking facilities are available. There is also easy access by car from the A127, A12, A13 and M25.
Each room has been designed to a high standard to provide the therapist with a safe, practical and professional space to work.
The use of soft lighting, gentle music and essential oils creates a calm and relaxing ambiance throughout the Sanctuary.
There is also a pleasant waiting area with a library of amazing books, should your clients arrive early, and they might not want to leave.
For those wishing to host Workshops and Classes both the Apple Barn and Bramble Studio are available!
The Sanctuary is open to welcoming new therapists and tutors who are passionate about holistic healing and teaching. Practitioners can rent therapy rooms or teaching areas at reasonable rates, providing a relaxing environment to offer treatments or conduct classes. However, to ensure alignment with the Sanctuary’s ethos, all therapists and tutors must:
Be fully qualified and experienced in their respective fields.
