What a wonderful relaxing experience – the whole setting, location was amazing. Olivia’s foot and leg massage was super – probably the best I have experienced. Thank you, I will be back!"

“Self- care comes in many forms.
Whether it’s a moment of peaceful solitude, a long-overdue chat with a friend, or a lively social gathering that fills you with joy...Find that balance. It’s not about favouring one over the other – embrace them all” - Liv
I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the world’s most beautiful spas, managing, training, and crafting unforgettable treatment experiences. Drawing on all that knowledge, my next step? to create a unique wellness space of my own, one that deeply connects with nature—beyond the high-street spa, offering authentic, immersive experiences inspired by stunning landscapes.
In 2023, I convinced my partner, Jared, an architect, to bring this vision to life. After stepping away from his practice for 6 months (though I promised him it would be 4…!), we began construction of the Studio in January 2024 at a farm workshop near Lewes, beneath the South Downs. Despite the challenging weather, our new puppy, Massimo, kept us motivated! By July 2024, the Studio was complete, treatments designed, and products bottled. We proudly launched our first residency in the heart of Sussex, welcoming our first clients.

“Designing with a client who knows their brief...
and has such a clear picture of what must be achieved makes for a simple process… Being married to them helps, but the quality of a design relies on the energy to see it through” - Jared
When Liv first brought the idea of the studio to me, I thought, “Well, this is either going to be genius or a disaster—I’m in”. For me, design is all about understanding and collaboration. When I work with a client who has a clear vision and a strong sense of what they want to achieve, the process becomes much more straightforward. The clearer the picture, the easier it is to transform it into something tangible.
Working alongside Liv brings a unique dynamic to the design process. We have a shared understanding of each other’s vision, which infuses the project with a special energy. It’s not just about the concept on paper; it’s about translating that vision into reality, and pushing through any challenges that arise along the way.
While the clarity of a brief is essential, I believe the true success of any design lies in the energy and commitment we put into bringing it to life. Design is a journey—it requires patience, trust, and a dedication to every step of the process. The reward? Seeing an idea evolve into something real, meaningful, and enjoyed by those who experience it.
