About Us
Body and mind. Two resolute pillars of wellbeing and the foundation of Hale’s inception. The harmonious fusion of psychology and dance/movement therapy has created a space for the community to nurture their wellbeing through a unique dual approach, focusing on accessibility and authenticity.
Hale stands for Holistic, Assurance, Longevity and Empathy. It is a safe, trustworthy, modern setting where individuals can feel heard and receive care from experts with real solutions. A space where one can grow, heal and discover their uninhibited, vibrant true self.
We care
Meet the Founders
We are two sisters, both with a passion for helping others lead their best lives through accessibility and authenticity. We have spent years learning and growing in our own fields and have seen firsthand how a tailored, holistic approach, in an expert, genuine environment is crucial.
