Beauty

New wellness in London and beyond

By Sarah Joan Ross on 23/9/2020

The world is so out of balance right now, and with a lot of uncertainty comes anxiety.

However, we not only need to take one step at a time but it might also be the time to seek out the best spaces, places, and people who can inspire.

So whether it's time to hit refresh, reset and restore some inner calm, help you get back on track, return to work or change career, or overhaul the diet and lifestyle – whatever that might be – here are the latest hubs to discover in the capital and beyond.

​The Soke | Fulham

​The Soke | London SW3

USP: A stylish private clinic offering 360 support in mental and physical wellness

Where: 241 Fulham Road, London SW3 6HY

(Opening Monday 28 September with session commencing in October)

Price: from £275


The Soke may look like an interior designer's residence, but it's home to a new private clinic integrating mental healthcare, wellbeing support and performance coaching.


With its multi-disciplinary team of experts, the services on offer include psychotherapy, menopause support, leadership development, family therapy, couples counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy and coaching, along with psychological health and assessments, as well as workshops and talks.


Much like a spa space, there will be low-lit 'quiet pods' where you can spend up to half an hour before or after your appointment, along with Alpha-Stim devices: clinically proven (and approved by the NHS) to treat anxiety, insomnia and depression.


CEO Maryam Meddin says, 'We are all acutely aware of the need for stigmas around mental health to change, but as long as service providers continue to adopt a clinical culture, it will remain impossible for people to avoid self-diagnosing as ill and in need of "medical" intervention. The time to modernise the sector is long overdue. We must encourage mental health to be given the same consideration as physical health – those who most often go to the gym are not doing it because there's something wrong with them; they do it in order to improve their wellbeing. The same standard should apply to emotional and psychological fitness.'

​House of Wisdom  | London NW1

​House of Wisdom | London NW1

USP: A creative, nurturing space in central London with a focus on mental ⁠health and wellbeing.⁠

Where: 350 Euston Road, Regent's Place, London NW1 3AX

Price: £22 per session, or five sessions for £35 available here.


House of Wisdom is a social wellness space dedicated to helping you on your self-discovery journey, self-empowerment, and personal transformation.

Luca Maggiora, one of the founders, says, 'It's a social wellness space, dedicated to helping you on your journey of self-discovery, self-empowerment and personal transformation. Our minds are just as delicate as our bodies, full of knowledge and wisdom, yet we don't give them the love and care they deserve. Our programmes are based on ancient practices, supported by modern science. From breathing classes and sound therapy to meditation and movement classes, House of Wisdom will help you reconnect with your true self and find the balance between mental and physical wellbeing.'


Super-interesting classes from their wellness menu include sunflow, which combines yoga and dance; empowerment lessons – where you can learn how to set short-, medium- and long-term goals, ease anxiety and increase confidence.


Along with breathwork, meditation, sound healing, various yoga classes (from beginner to advanced), it's also a place to learn the worth of self-love power.


Another popular course is the Non-Linear Movement Method, a somatic movement practice that releases, soothes and helps deepen the vitality, joy and pleasure of life.


The technique has been developed over the past 20 years by world-renowned embodiment teacher Michaela Boehm as seen on the Netflix documentary '(un)well' and is available exclusively in the UK at the space.

​The Healing Hub | App & Website

​The Healing Hub | App & Website

USP: The Healing Hub® is an app and website that offers guided tracks with 8-D technology to help you overcome whatever life throws at you.

Where: Available anywhere

Price: 10-day free trial, then from £5.99 per month subscription


The Healing Hub is the culmination of 30 years of research by Nikki J Owen, a transformist coach with over 2,000 clients to date. She employs a range of techniques that span from a quick 10-minute booster to sessions lasting almost two hours.


From theta healing for emotional and physical wellbeing to serenity, where you feel calm, safe, and secure; there's something for every modern-day affliction.


There are also tracks dedicated to weight loss, reducing alcohol or coffee dependency, building courage, confidence, resilience, and expanding your potential.


The tracks come alive with a mix of background music, bells, and chimes, along with sounds taken from nature and guided breathing with Nikki's vocals that offer positive encouragement and direction.


You might feel a sense of levitating, tingling, or calm and heavy – or simply nod off – depending on your state of mind or specific playlist.


Nikki says, 'Regardless of your past traumas, however many years you've had them, regardless of your current problems, you can always change how you feel and behave very, very quickly. By dedicating time to your daily practice, you'll soon discover a happier and more relaxed you as you release negative feelings and buried emotions.'
