We are very close to Hornsby Mall & Westfield Shopping Centre. Sanctuary Lifestyle Clinic is a wholistic family medical & psychological practice located on Sydney’s Upper North Shore, 3-5min walk from Hornsby Railway Station. We are very close to Hornsby Mall, Library and Westfield Shopping Centre. The building we are in is called the Avanti Complex and is between the BP service station and Bob Jane T-Mart. At Sanctuary, we focus on promoting the health and well-being of your whole person – mind, body and spirit. Our dedicated practitioners integrate conventional and complementary approaches using wherever possible lifestyle, preventive and nutritional aspects of medicine. We spend longer, more detailed appointments where necessary to try and treat the cause rather than just the symptoms. We make sure your treatment plan is personalised and right for you. The clinic is located very close to public transport - 2 mins from Hornsby Railway Station. There is easy disabled and pram access via the lift.
