This is a place where you remember.
Your body already knows how to heal. How to rest. How to move through grief, through transition, through the ordinary moments that quietly ask more of us than we expect.
We just help you find your way back.
Seeking Serenity?
Welcome to Our Holistic Healing & Education Center
Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Wellness
Â
A wellness center, Ayurvedic spa, and sacred space for healing in Point Pleasant the heart of the Jersey Shore.
This is a place to rest, restore, and remember yourself.
Sanctuary by the Sea is a trauma-informed healing and education center on the Jersey Shore where ancient wisdom and modern science meet in service of your whole being. Your nervous system. Your body. Your spirit.
We move slowly here, on purpose. You don't have to push or perform or arrive already well. Whether you're navigating chronic pain, stress, grief, caregiving, or simply a bone-deep longing for more - you are welcome here.
Come in. Breathe. Let us hold the space while you find your way back to yourself.
From My Heart
A Letter From Jeanette
I'm Jeanette.
Mother. Veteran. Practitioner of 25+Â years.
I opened Sanctuary by the Sea because I believe healing happens in relationship - with our bodies, with each other, and with something larger than both.
This space is the result of every hard thing I've walked through and every beautiful thing I've learned on the other side.
I'm glad you found us.

A Community, Not Just a Client List
Sanctuary was built to be a gathering place first. Classes, retreats, and workshops give people a reason to come back and get to know each other, not just check in and leave. Life is easier when you are not doing it alone.
Spaces Shaped Around You
Every room here can hold something different. A quiet corner for meditation on a Tuesday morning. A full workshop with mats and chairs pushed to the walls on a Saturday. The space adapts to what you need instead of asking you to fit into it.
Room to Grow, Especially for the Helpers
Veterans, first responders, caregivers, educators. So many of the people who walk through this door spend their lives taking care of everyone else. This is a place built to hold them too.
Education That Goes Deep
Yoga therapy, Ayurveda, mindfulness, nutrition, self care. The programs here are built for deep learning, not a single afternoon workshop you forget by the following week. Whatever your starting point, there is a next step for you.
Body, Mind, and Spirit, Treated as One
Ancient practice and modern care sit side by side here. Whatever brought you in, physical pain, emotional weight, or a longing you cannot quite name, the goal is the same: to help you find your way back to balance.

AÂ true place of healing for mind, body and spirit. The treatments I have received and classes I have attended have helped me get an even better handle on how to care for myself. I learn SO much from Jeanette every time I'm there. She possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience; her kindness and warm, welcoming personality helps to create the feeling of Sanctuary.
