The Empowered Collective is a central hub which aims to be a location where local women can access beauty, wellness, coffee, community, and social events all under one roof.

Inside, visitors will find luxury skin and laser clinic NudeCo, coffee shop Brewed Coffee Co, and personal training sessions offered by Endurance by Evolve.

Founder Natasha Mendes was inspired to create the Empowered Collective after discovering many of her clients felt they were lacking a space to connect with others.

She said: "When you're doing treatments, you learn a lot about people very quickly - they tell you a lot about themselves and their lives.

"What I quickly realised is that all of us are crying out for a space to be together. We're crying out for the village, we're crying out to support each other."
