About ORA

Rooted in Chinese wellness traditions. Made for life in London.

ORA is a private wellness house in St John's Wood, created for people who want care to feel personal, calm and deeply considered.

We bring together TCM-inspired observation, herbal warmth, purposeful bodywork, water-based skin rituals and the quiet culture of Chinese tea.

These elements are not presented as a fixed formula. They are combined thoughtfully, with clear boundaries and attention to comfort.

ORA is not a clinic and does not replace medical care. It is a place for regular, considered wellbeing in the heart of London.

The ORA approach

Three things we hold to.

  • Personal

    We begin by listening and shape the visit around how you feel today.

  • Purposeful

    Every element has a reason to be there, from temperature and pressure to tea and time.

  • Unhurried

    The experience is calm, considered and never rushed.

Frequently asked questions

Before you book.

Is the Body & Meridian Reading a medical diagnosis?

No. It is a non-diagnostic wellness service for general information and personal reflection. It does not replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Do I need a reading before every treatment?

No. Begin with The ORA First Visit if you would like a more personalised introduction, or book any spa ritual directly.

Is Herbal Steam the same as a sauna?

No. ORA Herbal Steam begins gently and is adjusted gradually around your comfort and the treatment that follows, rather than using one fixed high temperature.

Can I book Herbal Steam if I am pregnant or have a health condition?

Please contact us before booking. Herbal Steam is not suitable for everyone, and our team will confirm whether it is appropriate for you.

Can I visit the Tea Gallery without a treatment?

Yes. Everyday tea is available during published Tea Gallery hours. Tea tastings and private Gongfu experiences should be booked in advance.
