THE HIP AND MYSTICAL WELLNESS BOUTIQUE

-

JUST a stone’s throw from Kensington Palace — where Harry and Meghan were living until they moved out this week — Notting Hill’s Ilapotheca­ry wellness boutique could have been tailor-made for Meghan.

It sells beauty products based on numerology, a mystical concept which suggests our life is guided by numbers and that each one has a unique energy.

By finding out which numbers correspond to your life, you can predict its course.

Ilapotheca­ry founder Denise Leicester, a former nurse, started out with the organic Ayurvedic skincare range Ila — a Hindu priest even helped her choose the right location for her Oxfordshir­e production centre. It is stocked in spas around the world and Gwyneth Paltrow and Natalie Portman are fans.

Ilapotheca­ry — where singing crystal bowls and gongs (pictured) promote inner calm — opened last year, and Harry and Meghan were seen leaving the store last week. What they did is unknown, but Ilapotheca­ry offers treatments which it calls ‘therapies for modern life’, including energy healing involving chakra balancing.

Another massage therapy apparently promotes the flow of breast milk and assists in childbirth recovery — this may soon appeal to Meghan. Prices range from £75 to £210.

The pair are in good company — Prince Charles is an advocate of alternativ­e medicine.
