Providing a tranquil space to work & heal
At Positive Mind Space, trading as 39A, we offer the perfect environment for independent professionals in the non-beauty therapy industry. This includes psychologists and psychotherapists, consultants and counsellors, sports masseuses and physiotherapists, all growing industries as more doctors and professionals are moving into private practices as NHS waiting lists increase. Our welcoming treatment rooms are based in Warwickshire and surpass all levels of discretion and convenience from those of our competitors. Our rooms are fully-equipped with iPads, sound-proof systems, and refreshments to ensure comfort for both therapist and patient. There is a secure entry system and relaxing client lounge with atmosphere-enhancing audio for all members to use.
We're a dynamic business and know that our freelance clients need the stress taken out of leasing an office. We have our own payment system for our therapists to use, created via our bespoke 39A software. Similarly, room bookings are made online, meaning they're flexible to suit independent schedules. We're transparent with our clients: as well as permanent rental rooms, we also have rooms that operate on an ad-hoc, pay-as-you-go hourly basis, meaning we don't charge for a room that's not in use.
Having successfully established ourselves, we now want to take the next step for our business by upgrading our premises. Currently, we have 6 rooms available to hire and have reached our maximum capacity; with our new premises, we will have 30, which will enable us to accommodate growing demand. With the funds raised in this campaign, then, we will facilitate this relocation and set up furniture and fixtures, as well as hiring an additional member of staff for onsite management.
