The Sacred Nest

WELLBEING CENTRE

Nurturing Families, Carers and Kids

The Sacred Nest is a unique, nature-inspired sensory space in the inner-city of Melbourne. It hosts a variety of therapies and programs that harness the senses to nurture individuals, families, children and teens. It was purpose built with every element carefully chosen to create a special or ‘sacred’ space that reduces over-stimulation to calm the mind and body.

The Sacred Nest welcomes visitors of all abilities. As a carer myself, I understand journey well – the extra demands and isolation that a carer often faces. This experience inspired me to create The Sacred Nest as a place of belonging for other carers and the people that they care for. For more information, go to our Carer’s Page.

Because we experience the world through 7 different senses, The Sacred Nest offers programs that target each of the senses to enhance their function individually and as a whole. Details of our programs can be found on the Services page. We also welcome schools to visit our space and enjoy a tailored class or activity to suit their needs.
