introducing sanctum.....

It's finally happening....
This is part dream, part career move and all about the future.
As of Wednesday 20th October, Sanctum Body Skin Soul will be opening its doors to the world.
Or at least to Launceston and her visitors!
I think I have been planning this business for the better part of 10 years - ever since I took my first massage course.
The lease is signed and the furniture has arrived - our spare room and hallway have been taken over with chairs, tables and lamps!
I am finishing with my current work in a few days and so I can't jump right into the space and start setting up - that will come next week.
Other than some fresh paint, we don't need to do much for the fitout. I want to put a shower in one of the rooms at some point, so that I can offer spa body treatments as well - but for now, we will open with lots of massage on offer, aromatic facials and a lovely little retail area full of local designer goodies, herbal teas and comfy chairs!

We are finalising little things like a telephone and eftpos - fun fun. The stationary and website are coming together and I already have my first two bookings in on that first day! Now I just need to fill the rest of the week!

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who is going out of their way to help up make this dream come to life. Will keep you all updated as we go.

Oh Annie, how wonderful! Congratulations and I do hope it goes stupendously well for you. There's something to be said for plans that take a while to mature - all the better for waiting for.
