The Celtica Wellness Sanctuary is a place where you can find many ways to invest in your current and future whole body and mind health.

I’m Kat, the founder of the Celtica Wellness Sanctuary, and I built it because it’s a place I really needed and I’m sure others will too.

In early 2023, with three boys still fairly young - the youngest born during the pandemic - and a full-time tech role, like many I was finding balance really hard. I needed a complete break from routine but definitely was not ready to retire. I faced the question I’ve heard many friends of mine ask themselves - what else would I do? After almost 30 years in technology I was starting afresh.

I knew I wanted to build something real from the ground up. Most of all, I wanted to be in an environment that was calm and nurturing, and also at this time of life I was feeling like I wanted to understand how to better take care of myself. I started with bodywork school, which gave me a great foundation in anatomy and the healing arts.

Being a British expat, I’ve been seeking experiences that you would find in London and around the UK that are different to spa and wellness experiences here in Bay Area. I wanted to bring some of that goodness to San Francisco, my chosen hometown.

I’m heavily inspired by the other West coast - where I grew up, in Wales and you’ll see the influence of the natural rugged coastline all around the Sanctuary.
