FAQ

Nüe-atelier is the welcome and orientation space for the Sanctuary.

It is a calm, private entry point designed for reflection, discernment, and early clarity - before the Sanctuary experience is gently revealed.

A. What is nüe?

nüe is our Restoration Sanctuary for women.

It is a private, structured, multi-phase sanctuary designed to support calm restoration across one’s Mind, Body, and Spirit.

Therapeutic insight, clinically informed care, physical support, aesthetics, and sensory refinement are held together within a single, discreet structure — shaped to your needs, capacity, and tier.

Throughout the experience, thoughtful pleasures and aesthetic detail are interwoven as essential elements of restoration, rather than treated as an afterthought.

nüe does not offer a menu of services or access to independent providers.
Each pathway is shaped through Alignment & Entry Mapping and clinically informed review, with support introduced only where it serves the individual as a whole.

Care is coordinated, not selected.
Support is integrated, not accumulated.

B. Who is nüe for?

nüe is designed for women who are already functioning, capable, and reflective — and who are seeking:

  • clarity, balance, and alignment

  • structured calm and containment

  • restoration following periods of transition, overwhelm, or self-neglect

nüe is particularly suited to women who have already done some personal or inner work, and are now seeking coherence, ease, and quiet structure — rather than effort.

The Sanctuary is not crisis-led. It is designed for women who want restoration that is deliberate, curated, and held.

C. Is nüe a clinical or therapy service?

nüe is not an emergency service, and it does not provide crisis care.

The Sanctuary is a structured restoration environment. Where therapy or clinically informed elements are included, they are:

  • tier-dependent

  • optional and clinically indicated

  • delivered by carefully selected, appropriately registered practitioners working under their own professional standards, registration, and indemnity

Practitioners engaged through the Sanctuary operate as independent professionals and remain responsible for the care they provide.

If urgent or acute mental health support is required, nüe is not the appropriate service and would be advised to access local emergency or specialist support.

Non-clinical services offered within the Sanctuary may be experiential, educational, or supportive in nature and do not constitute medical treatment.

Providers delivering these services remain responsible for their own professional conduct and insurance.

D. Alignment & Entry Mapping

What is the Alignment & Entry Mapping?


The Alignment & Entry Mapping Form is a reflective questionnaire exploring key areas of your current life — including lifestyle rhythms, sensory needs, nervous system capacity, and present supports.

Your responses help us recommend the tier that best aligns with your needs, capacity, and readiness.

Why does nüe require an in-depth Alignment & Entry Mapping?

Depth creates clarity.

The Entry Mapping invites you to pause and notice the details that shape your daily life — rhythms, preferences, and patterns that are often overlooked.

Inspired by the Japanese principle of omotenashi (thoughtful, anticipatory care), this understanding allows us to design a pathway that feels:

  • coherent

  • balanced

  • precisely tailored to you

This gentle thoroughness is what makes the Sanctuary feel considered from the very first step.

E. How much does it cost?

There are three distinct investment stages within the nüe Sanctuary:

(1) Entry
(2) Alignment & Entry Mapping
(3) Pathway Investment

Each stage reflects a different level of depth, pacing, and personalised care.

1. Entry

Entry into the Sanctuary is by invitation only, via either:

  • Standard Invitation

  • Priority Access Invitation

Access is intentionally limited to preserve quality, pacing, and depth of care.

Priority Access Invitation

Priority Access Invitations are prioritised throughout the Sanctuary and allow earlier progression into the Alignment & Entry Mapping stage.

The Priority Access Fee is £250.

This fee:

  • Covers the Alignment & Entry Mapping

  • Prioritises your position ahead of Standard Invitation guests

  • Ensures a considered pace of care and adequate attention for every client

A limited number of Priority Access Invitations are released each month.

Standard Invitation

For Standard Invitation guests:

  • Entry is complimentary

  • Access to Alignment & Entry Mapping is offered only once an invitation has been formally extended

  • Entry is subject to monthly capacity availability

Standard Invitation guests are required to cover the Alignment & Entry Mapping fee of £130, which supports:

  • Assessment of readiness and nervous system capacity

  • Lifestyle rhythm and support needs

  • Recommendation of an appropriate tier of care

2. Alignment & Entry Mapping

The Alignment & Entry Mapping is a reflective, in-depth process used to determine readiness, pacing, and pathway suitability.

Completion of this stage does not obligate progression into the main Sanctuary pathway.

3. Pathway Investment

Should you choose to proceed into the main Sanctuary (nüe), a separate pathway investment applies.

  • Entry-level pathways currently begin from £6,000 GBP
    (approximately $7,600 USD | AED 28,000)

  • Most pathways sit within a five-figure investment

  • Final investment reflects:

    • Duration

    • Depth

    • Level of professional involvement

    • Integration of in-person elements, where appropriate

Important Note on Capacity

Capacity to enter the Alignment & Early Process is aligned with cohort placement.

Where capacity is available:

  • Priority Access clients receive a private access code

  • A link is issued to complete the Alignment & Early Mapping

  • Upon confirmation, clients enter the pre-cohort stage and receive a consignment number

Where monthly capacity has been reached:

  • Priority Access clients receive confirmation and next-step instructions

  • Our team will contact you within 2–5 working days

  • Entry windows are issued within up to 8 week timeframes, depending on availability

Entry windows remain open for a short, defined period to maintain momentum and flow.

Pre-Program Holding Period

During any holding period prior to cohort entry:

  • Priority Access clients receive a complimentary pre-program gift

  • This marks arrival into the Sanctuary and supports early settling and orientation

F. Is my information confidential?

All information is stored securely, handled in accordance with UK GDPR, and never shared without your explicit consent.

G. Tiers & Enrolment

How does tier selection work?
After completing your Alignment & Entry Mapping, we provide a recommended tier based on your unique needs and capacity.

You may upgrade or downgrade your tier before completing payment.

Can I change my tier later?
Once payment is complete and your pathway begins, your tier becomes fixed. This is because each tier is carefully structured and practitioner availability is reserved in advance.

How long is each nüe pathway?

Each nüe pathway varies in length depending on the tier selected.

Pathway duration is determined in advance and reflects the depth, pacing, and sequencing of care within that tier.

You will be provided with your confirmed start and end dates before your pathway is activated.

H. Cohorts & Tier Timing

What is a cohort?

A cohort is a small group of clients whose pathways begin within the same cycle and progress through their phases within a similar rhythm.

Cohorts are intentionally kept small to protect:

  • continuity of care

  • depth of practitioner involvement

  • quality and pacing of the experience

Although clients may begin within the same cohort cycle, nüe is a private, individual experience.

You will not meet other clients, and your personal details are never shared.

How often do cohorts begin?

Cohorts typically begin on a four-week cycle.

Your cohort start date depends on:

  • tier capacity

  • specialist availability

  • sequencing and preparation requirements

Once enrolled, clients enter the Orientation & Onboarding Phase.

Within 24–48 hours, you will:

  • receive confirmation of your cohort assignment

  • be provided with your pathway start and end dates

  • gain access to the Orientation area of the platform

  • be invited to complete onboarding forms

Will I have to wait to start?

There is a Pre-Cohort Care Period, typically 2–3 weeks before cohort activation.

This period is an intentional part of your care — not a delay.

During Pre-Cohort Care:

  • guided orientation content is shared

  • gentle reflective prompts may be offered

  • practitioner availability is coordinated internally

  • neurodivergent and sensory accommodations are confirmed

  • scheduling preparation takes place

You are supported throughout this phase.

What is the difference between cohort assignment and activation?

Cohort Assignment
Your place is reserved, your start date is confirmed, and your pathway is prepared.

Cohort Activation
The structured, practitioner-led phase formally begins.

At activation:

  • your main-phase practitioners are introduced

  • booking access opens according to your tier

  • Mind, Body, and Spirit work begins in a coordinated rhythm

You will receive a clear activation email confirming this transition.

When will I hear from my practitioner?

Your main-phase practitioner will introduce themselves once your cohort is activated.

This timing is intentional and supports:

  • clarity of roles

  • clean therapeutic boundaries

  • a coordinated and contained start

Throughout Pre-Cohort Care, you will have access to the nüe concierge team for administrative or scheduling questions.

J. Neurodivergent (ND) & Trauma Support

Do you support neurodivergent or sensory needs?

Yes. Neurodivergent (ND) support and trauma-informed recovery coaching are available across all tiers, where indicated.

These supports:

  • are non-clinical

  • are non-diagnostic

  • focus on regulation, pacing, coping, and stabilisation

They do not constitute psychotherapy or medical treatment.

Will I need to complete any pre-screening?

For certain sessions — particularly movement-based, physiotherapy-informed, or neurodivergent-adapted work — you may be asked to complete a short pre-screening questionnaire.

This ensures safety and appropriate adaptations.

K. Psychotherapy Assessments & Therapy

Is psychotherapy included?

Psychotherapy within nüe is tier-dependent and not included for everyone.

Lower tiers

  • Psychotherapy assessments only

  • May be delivered by advanced trainee therapists under clinical supervision

  • Limited to assessment and formulation

  • Psychotherapy is not part of lower-tier pathways

Higher tiers

  • May include a fixed number of Art Psychotherapy sessions, agreed prior to the pathway

  • Delivered by appropriately registered and licensed Art Psychotherapists

  • Offered only where clinically appropriate

Where further therapy is indicated, standalone continuation packages may be offered after completion of the pathway, subject to a separate agreement.

L. Missed Sessions, Cancellations & Rescheduling

Because practitioner time is reserved specifically for each client, missed sessions and late changes affect availability and continuity of care.

Appointments included within your tier

  • If you cannot attend a session, you must notify the concierge team and/or your practitioner as early as possible

  • Late cancellations and no-shows are treated as sessions delivered

  • Sessions missed outside the notice period are not refundable and may not be replaceable within your tier schedule

  • Rescheduling is subject to practitioner availability and the fixed timing of your cohort pathway

Recommended notice periods

  • Where possible, at least 48 hours’ notice is requested to reschedule

  • For certain in-person or partner-delivered services, longer notice periods may apply and will be communicated in advance

If you are unwell or there is an emergency

We understand that unexpected events occur.

Where appropriate:

  • a reschedule within the same cohort window may be offered

  • If you need urgent help now, please use our UK emergency numbers page.

All exceptions are considered case-by-case, depending on practitioner availability and the structure of your tier.

M. Pausing, Deferral & Leaving

Can I pause my pathway?

nüe is designed with respect for real life, capacity, and rhythm.

Where appropriate, a temporary pause may be considered by agreement. Pauses are intended to support rest, transition, or changing circumstances, and are approached with care rather than urgency.

Pauses do not automatically extend the overall duration of your pathway unless explicitly agreed in writing.

If a pause is agreed, the pathway resumes within a subsequent cohort for the remaining duration originally allocated. Timing is guided by practitioner availability, cohort structure, and the integrity of the experience.

Travel does not usually require a formal pause. Where travel is necessary during your time with nüe, your pathway is paced accordingly. Short settling periods before and after travel are intentionally built into the experience to support integration, physiological recovery, and nervous system regulation.

Pathways are not designed to be rushed, forced, or treated as fixed schedules. The emphasis throughout is on appropriateness, readiness, and care.

What if I choose to leave partway through?

Once a pathway has entered a Tier, fees are non-refundable due to reserved practitioner time, committed scheduling, and advance preparation.

If a client chooses to step away early, completed elements of care remain valid. Unused components cannot be transferred, deferred, or refunded.

N. Repeating a nüe Pathway

Can I complete a nüe pathway more than once?

Clients may repeat a nüe pathway after completing a previous one.

Many find that returning at a later stage allows them to engage with their wellbeing from a new level of clarity, stability, and capacity.

Is Alignment & Entry Mapping required again?

A new Alignment & Entry Mapping is required for each pathway entry, as circumstances, needs, and readiness change over time.

When can I return?

We generally recommend allowing at least six months between completing a pathway and re-entry, to support meaningful integration.

Earlier re-entry may be considered following review. Practitioner matching may differ depending on availability and alignment.

O. Client Location & Classification

For the purposes of travel, accommodation, and logistical planning, clients are classified as follows:

UK-based clients
Clients resident in:

  • England

  • Scotland

  • Wales

  • Northern Ireland
    Clients resident in Northern Ireland are legally part of the United Kingdom but are treated as International Clients for travel and accommodation purposes, due to differing logistics and transport requirements.

International clients
Clients resident outside the UK, including the Republic of Ireland, the EU, and all other countries.

P. Travel & Accommodation

International Clients

Where in-person participation in London forms part of the agreed pathway, travel and accommodation may be included at higher program levels, subject to structure, timing, and availability. All arrangements are confirmed in advance and made directly by nüe.

Tiers 2–4

For International Clients participating at Tiers 2–4, nüe may provide:

  • Economy Class return travel to London
    (flight or Eurostar, depending on route and availability)

  • Accommodation for up to 10 nights at a selected 4-star or boutique hotel in Central London

Travel and accommodation are provided within an overall allowance confirmed in advance as part of the individual pathway agreement.

Tiers 5–6

For International Clients participating at Tiers 5–6, nüe provides:

  • Business Class return travel to London

  • Accommodation for up to 6 nights at a selected 5-star hotel in Central London

  • Arrangements are aligned with the individual pathway and confirmed prior to commencement.

Booking notes (International)

  • All bookings are arranged directly by nüe

  • Funds are not issued directly to clients

  • Extensions, upgrades, or additional nights may be arranged independently at the client’s expense

UK-Based Clients (England, Scotland, Wales)

Where in-person participation in London forms part of the pathway, UK-based clients resident outside Greater London may receive travel and accommodation support.

Rail travel

  • Train travel to London only

  • First Class return tickets

  • Flights are not provided for UK-based clients

Accommodation (UK)

  • Tiers 2–4:
    4-star hotel accommodation for up to 10 nights, where required

  • Tiers 5–6:
    5-star hotel accommodation for up to 6 nights, aligned with International Clients

Accommodation is selected by nüe. Client preferences may be considered where they fall within the approved budget and are discussed during the pre-cohort period.

nüe does not assume responsibility for individual perceptions of hotel standards but selects the best available options within structure and availability.

Q. Disability & Access Support

nüe welcomes clients with a range of access needs and is committed to thoughtful, inclusive care.

At this stage, nüe does not provide:

  • 1:1 in-hotel or travel support

  • Overnight or on-site personal assistance

  • Dedicated caregiving or chaperone services

Clients who require personal care or continuous support are encouraged to arrange an appropriate companion or carer independently.

Clients are encouraged to disclose access needs during Alignment & Entry Mapping so that feasibility and appropriateness can be reviewed in advance.

R. Language & Accessibility

The nüe framework is delivered primarily in English.

Some practitioners also speak:

  • Arabic

  • Shona

  • Spanish

  • Greek

  • French

  • Portuguese

Language matching is considered where possible but cannot be guaranteed.

S. Partnering with nüe

We welcome interest from exceptional specialists and collaborators who share our ethos of calm, structure, discretion, and elevated care.

We are particularly interested in partners who:

  • Work with depth rather than volume

  • Value containment, boundaries, and thoughtful pacing

  • Are experienced, well-governed, and aligned with a premium, client-centred approach

This includes practitioners and collaborators across Wellbeing, Clinical, Creative, and Sensory disciplines (for example: florists, chocolatiers, fragrance specialists, musicians, and other artisans), where aligned with the ethos of the nüe framework.

Please note

Due to the care and discernment with which we review partnership enquiries, responses typically take 2–6 weeks. We will be in touch only if there is a potential fit.

Contact: potentialpartnerships@nue-atelier.com

nüe focuses on alignment rather than isolated self-care, bringing mind, body, and sensory support into a single, tailored structure.
London allows access to a rare concentration of expertise, making this level of cohesion both intentional and niche.
