Wellness on the Central Coast

What this place is

The Portal is a small wellness studio, not a spa and not a gym. The Frequency Lounge holds infrared boots, gloves and a belt, leg compression, a vibroacoustic cushion, audio visual entrainment and a 4D massage chair, and sessions there start at $15. Alongside it are therapy bays for longer vibroacoustic and infrared sessions, aura photography that takes about fifteen minutes with no appointment, and intuitive readings with Simone by appointment.

Most people find us once on holiday. The ones who live here tend to come back, which is what the membership is for.

Coming back is the point

A single infrared session is pleasant. The reason to live nearby is that the things we do here work better repeated: recovery after a long week on your feet, a standing half hour that is yours, a quiet room when the house is not quiet. That is an awkward fit for one-off pricing, so there is a membership instead, with points you spend on whatever you actually use.

Never been in?

Walk in during open hours. An aura photo takes about fifteen minutes and needs no appointment, which makes it the easiest way to see the place without committing to anything. If you would rather book a time, the therapy bays and Simone's readings are both reservable online.
