Sydney's Next-Gen Wellness Spaces

'Wellness space' isn't just a jazzy term for boutique gyms and beauty salons anymore. With an uptick in the investment people are willing to make to recharge their bodies, minds and souls, there has emerged a wealth of spaces across Sydney designed to achieve just that. From puppy yoga to scalp massages and boutique dental clinics, these next-gen wellness spaces in Sydney are worth the investment. 

Dream Labs by Tokyo Headspa

If serenity is the aim of the game for you then you'll need to make your way over to Tokyo Headspa for the Dream Labs experience. Combining the popular Japanese headspa method with a unique mediative experience, this holistic treatment will have you floating home. Gentle lights, a calming soundtrack, relaxing scents and serene visuals combine with a head, neck, shoulder and chest massage. It's just the ticket to melt stress and attain calm. Heaven on earth.

The One Skin Lab 

You've likely seen the trend of Japanese-inspired head spas taking over TikTok. We're here to tell you that yes, yes, it is even better than it looks. You know the blissful two-minute scalp massage you get at the end of an in-salon hair wash? It's like that but at least ten times better. 

If you're new to the game, head to The One Skin Lab for the Planet Venus Classic CO2 Scalp Care treatment. You'll start off with a scalp analysis that's followed by an hour of rapture involving a head massage, hair wash, carbonated water spa, conditioning treatment, neck and shoulder massage and a dry off. Trust us, you've never had a hair wash like it, and you'll be revelling in the results for weeks to come. 

No matter the condition of your scalp, you're bound to enjoy but if you suffer with hair loss or dandruff, you'll love it even more.

Sage Space 

This luxury, preventative dental studio is the brainchild of Founder, Dentist and Design Graduate Corbin Barry. Corbin found a few too many of his patients weren’t engaging in preventative dental care so decided to put the glam (and calm) back into routine cleans. Kick off your appointment by selecting your beverage of choice on arrival alongside the music or show you'd like to enjoy throughout your treatment. 

With a focus on prevention, Sage Space encourages their clients to begin with the essential ritual which involves a deep clean, check-up and stain removal. For follow-ups, the ritual selection ranges from specialist whitening to TMJ jaw massage. 

Sage Space's ritual offerings are designed to encourage prevention in a way that is most applicable to you. The soothe and protect ritual addresses the effects of grinding and clenching whilst the deep clean involves two appointments and is targeted to deliver a thorough TLC session on your gums. Need a quick little freshen-up before an event? There’s a ritual for that, too. Best of all, the space is a designer dream with gorgeous details abundant throughout.

Puppy Yoga

Good for your body and good for your soul. We can't guarantee you'll get much yoga done but you will score plenty of stress-reducing and mood-boosting snuggles with a whole litter of pups. All the pups come from trusted breeders who are looking to socialise their gorgeous wards so no need to stress there. Locations and times are released the week before so be sure to keep an eye on Puppy Yoga's socials here. 

Sauna Amalfi 

Sometimes a European holiday isn't on the cards but that's not to say you can't carve out a little time to revel in Mediterranean wellness experiences right here in Sydney. The Northern Beaches has recently welcomed its very own luxury sauna and cold plunge studio, Sauna Amalfi, just in time for summer. You can expect opulence from the get-go with serene interiors, luxe details and state-of-the-art facilities.
