Compass Rose Therapies (*formally thespace@) is a wellbeing service initially set up by the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea (RBKC) to provide Complementary Therapies as a direct response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy on 14th June 2017. The service was initially created and opened on the 1st August 2017 to provide a safe place for giving individuals time and freedom to rest their minds, senses, and spirit, whilst offering a safe space for promoting healing.

 

At the start of Compass Rose Therapies journey, 3 therapists (Esther, Georgina and Tammy), with a shared vision, provided therapeutic complementary treatments to victims and their families along with affected adults of the Grenfell fire communities, including all the support services and their staff. Compass Rose Therapies provided these services from central locations in West London including the NHS service's Exmore Surgery at St Charles Hospital.

 

Compass Rose Therapies has since grown from when we first opened our doors and we now have a team of 10 highly trained, certified therapists, all holding required DBS checks and relevant insurance policies. We offer a vast range of complementary therapies providing carefully chosen treatments designed to improve emotional wellbeing focusing on stress, anxiety and physical pain levels such as Full Body Massage, Aromatherapy Massage, Reiki, Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Chirokinetic etc. 

Compass Rose Therapies are based at various locations across Greater London & Cambridgeshire.

Since opening the service Compass Rose Therapies have worked alongside a number of other support services creating solid relationships, these include: RBKC’s Key Workers, Grenfell Health & Wellbeing Services, Grenfell Family Support Officers, Place To Be (P2B), Grief Encounter, Cruse Bereavement Care, Winston's Wish and the NHS IAPT team, among many others. The locations where Compass Rose Therapies are situated are places where people come along and know that they are not isolated and are welcomed, supported, and made to feel part of a wonderfully diverse community. These peaceful space’s enable families, friends and neighbours to come together.
