Testimonials

We were so lucky to find Tanja to do my daughters formal makeup. The result was absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to try other treatments. Many thanks

Staff are highly knowledgeable and have been able to assist me with my problematic skin. They seem to genuinely care and I don’t feel like I’m just another number to them. The salon is clean and the environment is calming. I would happily recommend this place to friends + family.

Always a perfect tan!

I can’t speak highly enough of Tanja and Rob . From day one they have gone above and beyond to make me look and feel amazing for my special day. Tanja organized a pre-wedding regime that not only made my skin look and feel flawless but my confidence to be higher than it has ever been to walk down the aisle on the most important day of my life. My makeup was stunning, very natural but beautiful, and lasted all night long x I highly recommend Tanja for any skincare treatments or special occasions x Thank you so much sanctum skin health beauty xxx

Tanja and Robert are both very professional. If you are preparing to get married Or are looking for someone who really understands skin types I would highly recommend Tanja. Tanja did my makeup for a wedding I attended. It was natural looking as requested and lasted all afternoon and night. I can’t recommend Sanctum Templestowe highly enough.

From the second I walked in the door at sanctum I knew i picked the right salon to help me get my skin “wedding ready” The team were all so helpful and the services I received were amazing, my skin has never looked so good! Cant recommended them enough.

I just turned 68, and I can count the number of skin treatments I’ve had on one hand – and still have fingers left over. My partner convinced me to get a laser skin treatment for the severely sun-damaged skin on my completely bald head and blotchy face. I expected an expensive, ineffectual treatment, but I got a whole lot more than that. The staff were superbly professional, and the proprietor, Tanja, and partner, Rob, were welcoming and helpful. What shocked me was the results, however. They were beyond my expectations, by a long shot! After only one treatment, there was a real, noticeable reduction on the sun-spots and blotchiness, and I have gotten a number of spontaneous comments from work colleagues who have noticed ‘something different – you look healthier’. I can’t recommend Sanctum too highly to anyone who wants a very professional and effective service.

All the staff are trained at a high level from the products used, health, skin, and overall well-being.

The best wax I’ve ever had! Completely pain-free, professional, and really warm service, amazing pre and post-care; I cannot recommend Tanja and Onnika (sp?) more highly. I will definitely be returning and recommending!

I’m all about investing in my skin and overall health. That’s why I love the holistic approach at Sanctum, they work from the inside out. I leave every treatment feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and more educated. Thank you

My skin has never looked so good. The whole team are fabulous and worked on my skin from the inside out with supplement recommendations as well as in clinic treatments and at home care. I honestly cannot say enough good things about them, I feel like at this rate I will never need botox.

I’ve never had better results in my entire life! I currently have more beautiful skin than I did in my 20s. Sanctum don’t just treat skin concerns topically, their in-house naturopath finds the underlying cause, and skin treatments and products re tailored to suit my specific needs. Life changing!

I had a Skin Consultation and Analysis with Caroline and she was very thorough and informative on not just topical treatments of the skin but the underlying support needed as well. The dermaviduals products she recommended don’t leave my combination skin tight/oily but seem to give back and recreate the spa experience at home which I love! My LED Facial with Hannah was so relaxing and my skin felt the most nourished and looked so glowy, in comparison to previous spa treatments at other salons where my sensitive skin often felt compromised. Thanks, Sanctum, I can’t wait to see the journey of my skin from now forwards!

Tanja is one of the most skilled and professional make up artists in Melbourne! The reason I have been a client of hers for over 15 years! Genuine, personalised service I always leave feeling amazing. Highly recommend Tanja and her Team!

Tanja is amazing. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients is outstanding. As a naturopath she is spot on and picks up on things many have missed. As a therapist, she works miracles. I love visiting Sanctum for a little piece of heaven

I can’t thank Tanja enough. She helped me fall pregnant, control my gestational diabetes, and have a very healthy, stress-free pregnancy. Not just once but twice. I am an older mum and was told I would struggle to fall pregnant. Tanja guided me every step of the way including after the birth to remove excess fluid. Thank you Tanja you are truly amazing at what you do. So knowledgeable and understanding.

Tanja is such a pleasure to be around, she has a beautiful genuine nature and I feel totally at ease letting her do her thing. She takes such pride in her work and I always walk away stoked with the results.

Love the vibe of Sanctum! As soon as I walk in the front doors I’m instantly relaxed and feel fab! The girls are all so friendly and amazing at what they do! Whether it’s my shellac, waxing or spay tans, I am always so happy and impressed when I leave. Highly recommend!

Tanja is a perfectionist , she won’t let you leave until she is 100% happy with her work. She’ll do anything she can to help you, forever going out of her way. 
I’ve always had skin problems, but since seeing Tanja my skin looks the best it ever has. 
I highly recommend anyone going to Sanctum; you won’t be disappointed

I’ve been seeing Tanja for nearly a decade and highly recommend all of Sanctum’s services. My eyebrows are always perfect, carefully and precisely crafted. My skin is better then it has ever been before and responds extremely well to the quality dermaviduals products. I’ve seen other therapists and had treatments at many spas and nothing can match the quality treatments by SANĈTUM.”

I’ve had the best experience with Tanja. Her work is amazing, she’s not only a professional who knows her stuff but is also a beautiful person who makes you feel like you’re a part of her family . My face hasn’t ever felt and looked as good as it does now, thanks to Tanja’s magical work. Keep it up!

My skin feels softer, looks more even, feels fresher and has a glow.

Staff were knowledgeable and very lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed my facial and, through the education the therapist shared, I felt confident that this was the right product for my skin. My skin is less reactive and red… no more dry spots and certainly more hydration

I used to be unsure about spending money on skin and beauty services because I thought it was not necessary. How wrong I was! Tanja makes you feel so comfortable and I always walk out feeling more confident with how I look. My skin has cleared up dramatically and my eyebrows have never looked better. I get compliments on my brows all the time!

SANĈTUM works from the inside out and takes a holistic approach. They didn’t just fix the symptoms – they dove deeper and tried to find the source of the issue. I no longer feel sluggish and heavy. My overall feeling of wellness has improved, my skin glows and my gut has never felt better.

The pride Tanja takes in her work truly sets her apart from the rest. She takes her time and care to make sure she has done a perfect job and will not let you leave otherwise! Her facials are by far the best I have ever had and her true passion for skincare and perfectionism is demonstrated in her treatments. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Myself, my mum and my daughter have been seeing Tanja for sometime. She has extraordinary work ethic, not to mention amazing beauty skills. Best eyebrow shaper I know!!! Microdermabrasion facials are fabulous!! Her attention to detail and care for her clients is second to none.

Tanja is a world class skin therapist who has significant knowledge in skin chemistry and skin care. I live in Germany but every time I am in Melbourne, I try to make time to visit Tanja. Her products are always selected after careful skin examination and leave your skin feeling wonderful.

Tanja is amazing! She’s a woman who has knowledge, skill and passion to help anyone with any skin condition. When I see Tanja, I have so much trust in her to let her do her magic without a worry. Tanja uses products (such as dermaviduals® ) she believes in and will only give advice based on facts.

I have been going to Tanja for 14 years now. The care and passion she has for skin, health and holistic beauty is demonstrated in every treatment and she is truly one of a kind. I highly recommend her and her personalised approach, and could not fault her in any way. I am also loving her new location and set up at SANĈTUM!
