How Do I Find You?
Our studio is quietly nestled down a private driveway in Cambridge East - just look out for our sign at the entrance to guide you in.​
We recommend parking on the street and walking down the driveway if you're able. On your right-hand side, you'll see a button to open the electric gate. Once through the gate, turn left and walk down the side of the main reception building. Go through the side gate, and you'll find the first door on your right—that’s us!
​​
Step into our beautiful reception area, kick off your shoes, help yourself to a warm cup of tea (and maybe a little choccy), and relax before your session begins.
