About Santavia
At Santavia, the mission was to create a serene environment where clients could relax and rejuvenate, taking them to a place that allows them to feel deep peace and tranquillity.
Located in Yeadon, Leeds, United Kingdom, Santavia was opened by Owner & Founder Chelsey Nicole Thomson. Chelsey wanted to create an environment for individuals to experience natural, holistic, and healing treatments for their hair and scalp all whilst focusing on her main goal, which was to provide a safe space and an environment where individuals can be taken away from the rush of everyday life and endure on an amazing sensory experience like no other! Chelsey's passion for natural healing and building powerful mindsets in others was always at the forefront of her mind and this is the reason she decided to open Santavia!.
Chelsey herself has researched and used holistic and natural healing products for many years due to having a condition called Fibromyalgia, so she knows exactly how important it is to build and maintain a strong mindset & the importance of finding a peaceful environment!
Chelsey invested in her skills and qualified in Japanese head spa treatments and to further her skills, Chelsey qualified in a Trichology course. On completion of this course, Chelsey was qualified to identify possible hair & scalp conditions and offer the best possible treatment to reduce symptoms and if necessary is able to advise on GP contact. With our recent expansion, all members of staff at Santavia have been trained to a very high standard also having their very own Trichology qualification, alongside Japanese Headspa, Massage and Level 2 hairdressing.
At Santavia, we do not just focus on the hair & scalp, we offer a unique range of services that include scalp detox, rejuvenating hair spa, mindfulness massage, hydro-Jelly face masks, and advanced facials. Chelsey had previously qualified as an advanced aesthetic practitioner allowing her to incorporate advanced facials into her treatments.
We believe and encourage the power of mindfulness and relaxation to promote overall well-being, and our services are designed to reflect these values. From our amazing Blue Sakura value treatment to our signature treatment Purple River's, each treatment is crafted to provide a unique and beneficial experience for our clients. Almost all Santavia clients will tell you of their incredible therapy experience that we ensure is offered as part of having a Japanese Headspa treatment. After all, Santavia is a safe space that clients love to call 'The Home from Home'.
It all began with a simple idea fuelled by a deep passion for natural healing, wellness and helping other people to refresh, restart and restore their mindfulness. As a small business, we pride ourselves on personal attention and dedication to every detail, ensuring every service is tailored to each clients individual needs. The approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to an excellent & unforgettable experience.
The Creator
"Being someone who has always used natural ways of healing the mind and body, i wanted to create an environment where individuals could attend to take their mind away from everything that places pressure on their mental & physical health. Having the qualifications to provide both mental & physical therapy for those who attend Santavia, is my proudest achievement!
Although we tend to forget about ourselves sometimes, the Santavian experience is a powerful reminder that the biggest investment you will ever make is taking care of your Mindset & Wellbeing!
