New Hall Therapies is a small independent spa. Every moment of your time here is about you. Working on an individual basis, we don’t have a team of therapists, there is no noisy salon environment, phones ringing or chatter. I don't cram lots of appointments into the diary. You don’t have to worry about parking, there is ample, free space. It's just peace and quiet…and time, just for you. We offer treatments to help you feel good from the inside out and to encourage your body’s own self-healing responses. Influenced by Eastern philosophies, but adding in our own style, we are about holistic relaxation. From a rustically styled and calming summerhouse therapy room within the garden of our home, New Hall Therapies is continually growing and evolving. We are now are delighted to have an outdoor hydrotherapy pool and are able to offer small group "mini-retreat” packages - a chance to reconnect and enjoy with someone you want to spend more time with.
