The Spa/Wellbeing centre offers comprehensive treatments for both the mind and body, recognising that people with terminal illnesses need mental health support as much as physical careboth equally essential for overall wellbeing. Our holistic approach addresses the emotional challenges that accompany physical symptoms, providing a sanctuary where psychological healing is prioritised alongside bodily comfort.

These treatments have been carefully selected to complement clients experiencing terminal illness who cannot receive standard spa treatments available in the market.

Following consultation, clients are guided to our innovative pod-shaped spaces, each designed with the intention to evoke the comforting, protective qualities of an embryonic experience. The physical treatment rooms feature gentle curves and encompassing walls that create a sense of safety and nurturing. These massage pods are bathed in soft, adjustable mood lighting that can be customised to each client's preference, creating a cocoon-like atmosphere that allows complete surrender to the healing process.

Our therapy rooms maintain the protective pod structure while opening dramatically upward through double-height spaces. Floor-to-ceiling glass extends from the first floor to the roof, allowing natural sunlight to cascade down and fill the space with gentle, healing light. This architectural decision creates a profound sense of connection to the outside world while maintaining the feeling of safety, symbolising the balance between introspection and openness that mental healing often requires.
