One Month In: The Story Behind Our Membership

October 12, 2025

It’s been about a month since we quietly launched the Skin & Sanctuary Membership. We decided to hold off on a big announcement. No campaign, no countdown - just a simple invitation to clients, friends, neighbours, and people who’ve supported us along the way to come in and find out more.

We didn’t want to add to the noise or create something that felt like another scheme or subscription.

We wanted it to feel considered. Something thoughtful. Something that could help people reconnect with themselves and with the community around us.

And I’ve been genuinely touched by what’s happened since.

Finding our rhythm in Shoreditch

When we moved from E9 to E1, I knew it would take time to find our rhythm again. London moves quickly. It’s easy to love, but it’s also easy to get lost in. I believe though that if you stay still long enough, your community begins to find you.

That’s what this Membership has started to feel like - a small circle of people who’ve made looking after themselves part of their routine again.

Clients tell us that the little card in their wallet has become a quiet reminder to make time for themselves. To book that facial. To call the clinic.To walk into a partner business they’ve been meaning to visit.

That’s exactly what we hoped for.

What it is (and isn’t)

This isn’t (just) about discounts.

It’s about helping people build consistency, creating space for care that fits into their everyday life.

It’s about keeping up with your treatments, your skin health, your sense of living beautifully.

Membership begins like every journey at Skin & Sanctuary does: with a consultation, a skin scan, and a treatment plan designed just for you.

From there, it’s about connection - to your skin, to our team, and to the people and places around us.

And that’s where our brilliant partners come in.

Our partners

Every partner is local and every one of them is excellent at what they do. They bring something personal, passionate, and generous to the table - and together they’ve helped create something much bigger than our clinic walls.

Each of them has offered something special for everyone who visits them with their Skin & Sanctuary e-card.

These offers will change from time to time as the seasons change, but here’s where we are today:

The Cut Gym – a private personal training space in the City, offering 20% off your first sessions and 10% thereafter.

Ciao Bella! – a salon between Liverpool Street and Brick Lane using premium RADICI products, offering 15% off haircuts and blow-dries and a complimentary backwash with any service over £40.

Lorenzo C Hair – based in the Cleeve Workshops, offering £10 off all hair services.

Hermione Hodgson Photography – a Hackney-based photographer who captures people and brands beautifully, offering 15% off photo packages and priority booking.

All of them are East London businesses. All of them care deeply about their clients. Together, they’ve helped create something genuinely special.

What happens next

We’ll keep building this Membership slowly and carefully. No rush. No pressure. Just real connections with people and partners who make a difference.

There’ll be more collaborations, more introductions, membership events, and more reasons to pause and take care of yourself.

Because that’s really what this is about.

If you’re already part of it - thank you for believing in us so early. And if you’re not yet, you can find out more here. Or simply start the way every journey begins here: with a consultation and a chat. The team will help you from there.

A note for Diwali - and all festivities coming our way soon

As Diwali and the festive season approach, we’re reminded that beauty lies in giving - in sharing light, warmth, and time with the people who matter most.

Thank you for being part of ours.

With love
