The Original Idea
Urban Sanctuary was started by two friends with a vision of a place where people could be renewed and restored without having to leave town or go on vacation. A boutique day spa with the elaborate service menu and beauty of a resort spa and the comfort and ease of home.
The perfect place to Unwind.
Beginnings
Candice Courcy and Allen McArthur co-founded Urban Sanctuary in 2004. They brought their vision of joy, beauty, and kindness to Athens Georgia. This vision contributed to the growth and success of Urban Sanctuary.
