Who are we and what do you do?​

We are your purpose-led, holistic studio in the heart of Hackney, supporting private clients and businesses. Every session supports our mission to provide free therapy for refugee and asylum-seeking women in our community.

​

We offer one-off sessions, memberships, and integrative care packages that combine massage therapy, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, physiotherapy, nutrition, ergonomic assesment, yoga, and Reformer Pilates.

 

Each of our therapists brings years of experience - and a human, personalised approach - to support you in feeling stronger, calmer, and more at home in your body.

​

Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain or simply want a space to recharge, we’re here to help you care for your body and mind — and to make that care meaningful beyond yourself.

​​

We’re specialists in chronic pain, hypermobility, trauma, sports injuries, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, gut and hormonal imbalances, and eating disorders, but also here for anyone looking to feel stronger, calmer, and more at home in their body.

​

We also support businesses in bringing wellbeing to the workplace — offering on-site chair massage, ergonomic assessments, and wellbeing workshops designed to reduce stress, prevent injury, and boost team morale. Read more about it here.

​

Why do we do this work?

All of us at Abuelita’s began this journey from a place of personal healing.

​

We’ve walked through grief, burnout, injury, trauma, chronic illness, and the frustration of feeling unseen by the medical system. But instead of giving up, we turned those experiences into purpose — and built this studio to share what we’ve learned.

​

If our wellbeing journeys can help you feel more whole and support you along the way, we’re happier than ever.

​​​​

Our approach

Science-based. Human-led Community-rooted.

 

We believe in integrative care that’s inclusive, ethical, and grounded in both science and empathy. Whether working together or one-to-one, our team supports people through every stage of life — from prevention and symptom relief to resilience and long-term wellbeing.

​​

Our studio is like no other​

Designed to feel like a cosy living room, not a clinic. Studies show that calming, homelike environments help people relax and get better results from treatment.

 

That’s exactly what we wanted — for you, and for the communities we support through your booking.​ You’ll find soft lighting, earthy colors, and plenty of plants. It’s a place to exhale, feel safe, and be yourself.

​

​​

Our social impact sets us apart

Acts of giving — like supporting your local community — are proven to boost wellbeing and happiness. At Abuelita’s, that’s part of every session.

​

Every session supports us in our dream to offer free care to vulnerable individuals who otherwise will not be able to afford this type of care, and they need it the most. We're proud to offer something different from any other wellbeing studio or clinic in Hackney: purpose-led care that supports the whole person and gives back to the community.

​

This year, your support helps us care for refugee and asylum-seeking women, offering them the care they deserve, but can't even dream of. Read more about our cause here.

Final words from the team​​

Taking care of ourselves in different ways — making time to rest, investing in our physical & health, and connecting with others — is one of the best ways to overcome depression, anxiety, and chronic illness.​​
