After building a cult following in Melbourne, Shape House has landed in London at Marylebone’s Takroni Clinic. Known for its sculptural approach to lymphatic drainage, treatments here go beyond de-puffing – they work to reduce inflammation, boost circulation and calm the nervous system. Highlights include Pump Flow, a full-body massage blending cupping, fascia release and breathwork to boost circulation and immunity; Pump Face, a facial massage that lifts and revives tired skin; and Pump Detox, designed to tone and sculpt with acupressure and lymphatic techniques.

Stride is the UK’s first diagnostics-driven health membership designed to take the guesswork out of your wellbeing. Founded by an ex-Olympian, it’s a clever, data-led platform that tracks everything from your DNA and gut health to biological age and inflammation, then tailors supplements and expert advice to match. The concept is simple but game-changing: test at home, get your results and receive a bespoke plan that evolves with you. With full retesting available every six months, Stride feels like the Oura Ring for your inner health – intelligent, personalised and made for those serious about optimising their health.

Unplugged – the UK’s original digital detox escape – has just unveiled its latest cabin, Elsa, set on a peaceful Cornish estate overlooking Bodmin Moor. It’s the first of the brand’s off-grid hideaways to feature a private, wood-fired hot tub, perfect for stargazing. As ever, phones are locked away on arrival, replaced by an old-school Nokia, Polaroid cameras, compass and map, encouraging guests to fully switch off. Inside, expect eco-luxury touches like Piglet bedding, a cassette player with Calm sleep stories, and a fire pit for screen-free evenings. With woodland trails from the doorstep and coastal walks nearby, Elsa promises a truly restorative retreat.

For West Londoners looking to slow down, stretch and build strength, new studio Yoke is one to have on your radar. The calming, design-led space offers a thoughtful blend of movement and mindfulness designed to help you feel good. The schedule spans Reformer Pilates, yoga, strength training, mobility and low-impact conditioning, while breathwork, meditation and sound healing sessions are also on offer for those craving a deeper reset. Post-class, head to the in-house café for adaptogenic lattes, restorative herbal teas and protein-packed smoothies, all designed to replenish and renourish.

Tired of ‘healthy’ smoothies filled with hidden sugars, Elevate founder Julia spotted a gap – and made it her mission to change the game. Elevate is London’s first nutritionist-designed, science-backed drinks bar. Opening this month in Bank, the light-filled space feels more LA than London but what really sets it apart is the menu – a tight edit of smoothies, shakes and functional lattes, all formulated with a nutritionist’s eye. Expect cacao adaptogen blends, turmeric shots, and iced matcha with a hint of MCT for sustained energy. Backed by investors from Joe & The Juice and cult US health brand Erewhon, Elevate is set to become the new go-to for the wellness crowd.

Parisian label BA&SH is leaning into the wellness space. Its new capsule of activewear is unfussy but elevated – think soft technical leggings, delicate ruched bras and wrap hoodies, all in muted shades like old rose and washed ebony. BA&SH is also launching Wellness Escapes – elevated retreats hosted in some of France’s most beautiful settings, from Biarritz to Ramatuelle. Expect sunrise yoga, breathwork and nourishing food.

Australian brand SWIISH has landed in the UK. Founded in 2012 by two sisters, the brand quickly built a global community thanks to a bestselling book, and a wellness range followed in 2016. Long before wellness was a trend, the sisters were on a mission to help others feel vibrant and empowered – a decade later, and the brand boasts thousands of five-star reviews, frequent sell-outs and a loyal customer base that swears by its glow-boosting, energy-elevating supplements. Today, the range includes cult favourites like Supergreen Superfood Powder, Glow Marine Collagen and Brain Fuel, and the UK launch also introduces the brand’s latest innovation, NAD+ Booster, created to enhance vitality and longevity.
