HOW IT ALL BEGAN!
​
I started Xquisite Spaces UK four and a half years ago, just as the summer of lockdown 2020 came to an end.
Like many, I found that time incredibly difficult, but it also gave me something rare; the chance to take a step back and figure out what I really wanted to do with my life.
At that point, I was working three part-time jobs, raising a child on my own and feeling completely stuck. I was depressed, burned out and had no idea what the future held. But deep down, I knew I wanted more - not just for myself, but for others too. I wanted to create a space where people could feel part of something meaningful, where they could reconnect with their community and build something positive for themselves and others.
That's how The Hideout came to be. It started as one small studio - a safe space for people to come together, feel included and find a sense of joy and inspiration. Over time, we've grown not only as a business, but as a community. I have been able to employ a small team to help take my vision even further! We now have three beautiful spaces - The Hideout, Sakura and The Zone. I couldn't be prouder of how far we've come. With lots of change and growth happening, the heart of what we do has always remained the same.
​
This business isn't just about the space; it's about the opportunities it creates. It's about helping people take steps towards wellness, community and even starting something new for themselves. Looking back, it's hard to believe how far we've come, but I'm reminded every day that even in toughest moments, there's potential for something amazing to grow.
OUR MISSION
We provide access to an uplifting environment, which creates opportunities for personal development and growth, within the community.
OUR ETHOS
Our ethos, is centred on creating an inclusive and supportive environment, where mental health and physical well-being unite, to inspire positive change. We are committed to accessibility, compassion and collaboration, offering a safe space for personal growth and the amplification of every voice. By empowering our community, with the tools to achieve lifelong well-being, we strive to spread our values of unity and care, fostering a healthier and more fulfilling life for all.
OUR VISION
To create a positive impact, by igniting passion and awakening curiosity to a wider community, through the unity of mental health and physical well-being.
