Justina Howard-Bearder
Senior Therapist and Lecturer
My name is Justina and I have worked in the beauty industry consistently, since qualifying over 35 years ago.
I began my career at a local salon, before moving to Clarins, where I started as a Consultant and progressed to Account Development, before becoming the Area Manager for Salons.
I then left to take up partnership of a Salon in Cambridge, where I had a very successful business for 6 years, before leaving to start my family. During this time, I worked as a mobile Therapist, until I took the position of Lecturer and co-ordinator of beauty apprentices at Cambridge Regional College.
Having lectured for over 8 years, I have continually updated my knowledge and skills within the industry.
My career and expertise led to me first setting up Elysium Beauty Salon with Julianne. After many successful years running the training school and beauty salon, we are thrilled to be launching our brand new salon and wellness centre at Clopton Farm, Lower Road, Croydon, Royston.

Julianne Sparrow
Senior Therapist and Lecturer
My name is Julianne. I qualified over 35 years ago and I have worked in a variety of areas in the industry during this time.
I held the position of Senior Therapist at Champneys, before running my own business for many years. I then took the position of Lecturer at Cambridge Regional College and developed a love for teaching.
I then covered the position of Programme Area Manager for Beauty at the college for a year, before then having the opportunity to set up a commercially run spa at the college, for a number of years.
Once this had established itself, I then returned to teaching across all levels.
Justina and I set up Elysium many years ago and are proud to have built a successful Beauty Training School and Beauty Salon. We are now delighted to be launching Sanctum Wellness & Beauty in the lovely setting of Croydon, close to Royston and Cambridgeshire.

“As always facial with Justina was amazing. Super restorative moving into autumn. A lovely peaceful hour out of a busy schedule”
“I am working my way through the treatment list. I had a Swedish massage with Louise this week. It was amazing! My favourite so far. The perfect balance of relaxation and getting rid of those unwanted knots and tension. Thank you! Can’t wait for the next one!”
“Massage was fantastic. So relaxing! And I didn’t feel rushed at the end. I had time to have the lemon water and complementary lemon mousse they provided whilst enjoying the view across the fields.”
