The Sanctuary at

With beautiful rooms inspired by South East Asia, The Sanctuary at Hove, 354B Brighton Rd, is the ideal retreat from the stresses of everyday life, work and sports training.

Hello & Welcome,

My name is Melissa Jan and I am a Remedial therapist and the founder of The Sanctuary at Hove.

With a background in Dance and Fitness I have always had a keen interest in the health and well-being of the human body and mind. On completion of my Certificate IV in Massage Therapy, I became passionate about the many uses of massage to improve general well-being and relieve pain and tension. And so, naturally I began my career which has spanned over 10 years running businesses in gyms and physiotherapy clinics in Adelaide and in London UK.

With a need to create a calming and positive environment for my patients to relax while being treated, I founded The Sanctuary at Hove in November 2006. Since then the clinic has expanded to become a central hub for another eight massage therapists to use their expertise and experience in a varied range of modalities to follow one common goal – to help people relax and heal.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to The Sanctuary at Hove.

Melissa Jan,
Founder & Remedial Therapist.
