March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about one of the most common — and increasingly preventable — forms of cancer affecting both men and women. Colorectal Cancer has historically been considered a disease that primarily affects older adults. However, in recent years, doctors and researchers have been sounding […]
March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing understanding of this complex neurological condition and supporting those who live with it. At Sanctuary Wellness Spa, we believe that healing is most powerful when it addresses the mind, body, and nervous system together. While Multiple Sclerosis can be a challenging diagnosis, many people […]
Each year, National Breast Implant Awareness Month creates space for honest, informed conversations about breast augmentation, long-term safety, and a condition that more women are speaking up about: Breast Implant Illness (BII).

In neuroscience, there’s a concept often referred to as the Reptile Brain […]
Let’s be honest. Right now — in America and globally — we are living in intense times. Between ongoing political tension, investigations dominating headlines, immigration enforcement crackdowns, economic instability, global conflict, and nonstop media exposure, many people feel emotionally overloaded. Even if these events don’t directly affect you, your nervous system is still absorbing them. […]
At Sanctuary Wellness, we’re always exploring therapies that support the body’s natural ability to detoxify, heal, and restore balance.

If you’ve ever heard […]
