Better off than we found you
Welcome to our Hidden Haven. Our core philosophy is to leave people better off than we found them, and that's what we are building here.
We see massage as a brilliant way to step inside your body and take care of yourself: forced time away from your phone and your busy life, to reconnect with yourself.
We are a safe space for people to look after their bodies, receive caring touch and feel supported in their self-care routine.
The Joshua sleep test
Massage has been ruined for me. Almost every time I lie down at a spa, I’m analysing every stroke, critiquing the pressure and quietly redoing the routine in my head. Relaxed? Barely.
So every therapist on our team has had to pass the Joshua sleep test: get the most critical client in Cape Town to drift off on the table.
Every one of them passed. I’d like to say I put up a fight.
How we look after you, and our team
A maximum of 5.5 hours of massage a day
Therapists in top spas are often required to work 8 hours or more. Ours work a maximum of 5.5 hours of massage per day, so we have time to look after our own bodies and you get our full attention.
We check in after every session
We follow up with each client after 48 hours to check in, see how you’ve adjusted to bodywork and gain feedback for future appointments.
Our therapists are paid well
Generally 2 to 4 times the hourly wage of a luxury spa massage therapist.
A non-sexual service
We are a professional massage studio and our aim is self-care. This is a non-sexual service. Please respect our boundary.
Inside Expand Health
We are honoured to be a part of Expand Health, Cape Town’s first longevity and preventive healthcare clinic. It sits where preventative medicine, nutrition and performance-focused wellness meet, and its model is built around strengthening long-term health before problems emerge, rather than treating illness after the fact.
