Chamomile in new hands

JUSTINE MITCHELL, owner and founder of Chamomile Sanctuary the luxury day spa at Edinburgh’s West End, has confirmed the sale of the award-winning beauty business to The Secret Beauty Garden for an undisclosed sum.

Chamomile Sanctuary was opened in 2010 by the former lawyer and business consultant.

Justine said: “Making the decision to sell Chamomile was extremely difficult. I have loved building the business and working with the wonderful team of therapists alongside a loyal client base however the time is right for both Chamomile and me.

“The past couple of years have been challenging for everyone. During that period I have developed a wider business portfolio and, sadly, Chamomile no longer fits the way it once did. However, having taken time to ensure that a new owner would appreciate the brand and the values we have created I am confident that the team at The Secret Beauty Garden are well placed to help move it to the next stage. I am so grateful to the staff for their loyalty and support and, of course, to our wonderful clients whom I will miss. I wish everyone well.”
