We are located in the heart of Santurce, right in front of Ciudadela. From the moment you step through our doors, we aim to create a soothing, peaceful space where you can take a break and relax into your healing journey. Although we run a tight ship in terms of our schedule, we have also stocked our waiting room with ample reading materials, a tea station, and a kid’s corner, in order to make your visit with us as integral an experience as the journey we wish to embark on with you.
