Cancer-Aware Sanctuary

A safe harbour for those navigating cancer treatment & recovery

Many standard beauty treatments are contraindicated during active cancer care. Waters Edge holds specialist oncology touch certification, so we offer gentle, evidence-based therapies — modified for ports, lymphedema risk, neuropathy and fragile skin — with absolute respect.

  • Certified oncology-trained, Gentle Touch™ therapy
  • Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, organic products
  • Discreet skin-health & mole-awareness checks
  • Sensory-safe, low-stimulation environment

Karen — the heart & hands behind Waters Edge

With over fifteen years of advanced clinical training and a deeply personal commitment to oncology-safe care, Karen founded Waters Edge to offer something rare: medical-grade results without ever losing the human touch. Every client is treated as a whole person, never a transaction.

“I wanted to create a place where science and serenity sit side by side — where someone in the middle of treatment, or simply in need of stillness, feels completely held.”

— Karen, Founder & Lead Aesthetician

Words from our sanctuary

Karen at Waters Edge is simply unmatched. I’ve visited Harley Street clinics before, and the care, hygiene, and knowledge at Waters Edge is miles ahead. My skin has never looked so clear and radiant. You feel so safe and truly cared for from the moment you walk through the door.
Sarah M. · QUAD Laser & Medical Peel
Finding Karen during my chemo treatment was a godsend. Most salons turn you away because they lack the proper insurance or training. Karen was kind, gentle, thoroughly informed and gave me back an hour of pure, tranquil peace when I needed it most. I cannot thank her enough.
Gemma T. · Cancer-Aware Gentle Touch Massage
The Million Dollar facial is worth every single penny! My makeup went on like liquid silk for my sister's wedding. Karen's clinic is immaculate, smelling like a luxury seaside retreat, and she never tries to push products you don't need.
