Prenatal Treatments at sanctum

All of sanctum's Therapists spent a weekend in Hobart at a certified course for Pregnancy Massage recently - upgrading our skills and knowledge to ensure we give our Clients the best possible care.
We left Launceston at 5.30am and didn't return till 8pm the following day!  Whew!
Very intense, but very worthwhile - we now have some great new tricks to help out our Mums-to-be with any aches and pains throughout their pregnancy.
It also really highlighted the need to ensure that Therapists are thoroughly trained and qualified.  This course covered the current treatment protocols for treating pregnant Women throughout the three trimesters, dispelled some long held myths and showcased some common mistakes.
Basic training in Relaxation or Swedish Massage is not enough to ensure a safe and effective treatment for pregnant Women and even most Diploma' tend not go into any depth on this subject - a three hour lecture cannot give a Therapist the skills (or confidence) to perform the best treatment.
Ask about training, qualifications and experience when looking for your Therapist.  Our Mums need to feel completely confident and comfortable.

sanctum now offers treatments throughout all three trimesters - always determined by the health of Mum and Bub. 
After a detailed consultation, our Therapists can determine the best route to treat any presenting concerns from lower back pain, stiffness through the hips, sciatic pain and neck and shoulder issues.  Even swelling of the legs, poor circulation and emotional stress can be relieved through the use of Massage Therapy.
Something we all got from the course was that a relaxed, calm Mother can make for an easier more enjoyable pregnancy and birth - anxiety is not conducive to the health of either Mother or Baby.
We can also offer advice for partners in regards to massage throughout the pregnancy and labour.
For more information or to make a booking - contact us now and see how sanctum can make this pregnancy as easy and enjoyable as possible.

Product Focus - Inner Earth Soaps

Winter Woods on Timber Soap Rack - delicious aroma of Balsam Pine and Cranberry

We were very excited to receive our order from the lovely Erin from Inner Earth Soaps yesterday.
We met Erin through the wonderful universe of the soap blogs before she took the big step of going full time with her soap making - and we're really glad that she did!
With time being a challenge, we've not been able to keep up with demand for our own range of Olive Oil Soaps - and not wanting just any soaps in sanctum, it was an easy choice to bring on board Erin's great range of hand made soaps.

Pomegranate; Orange Clove and; Jasmine Soap Bars

We chose 6 different soap bars this time around, each with it's own distinctive colour and fragrance - we think they look great and hope your Cients and Visitors will too.
Being mainly based on Olive and Coconut Oils - these soaps are gentle on the skin and last well, provided they can drain and dry well between uses.
sanctum already smells wondeful just by having them in the store!

Winter Woods; Sandalwood Vanilla and; Kakadu Soap Bars

new stock in store

These candles are something we've been wanting to do for quite some time - the challenge has been finding the containers.
These we found at a local Kitchenware store - we're hoping we can organise to get them for a better price in the future so we can keep offering them for sale in store.

Moroccan Tea Glasses (also known as 'Turkish') are a lovely glass to begin with - but we really love how they look as candles.
We kept the wax its natural soft white as we think that the glasses are the stars of the show and we filled them with some of our most popular fragrances (French Pear, Vanilla Pomegranate & Black Currant, White Tea & Ginger, Lemon Myrtle, White Tea & Berries and Manuka Honey & Lavender).
There'll only be twelve available in at sanctum (when we reopen on the 10th) so get in quickly if they catch your eye as much as they do ours!
