Mags – Sleep Specialist

Sleep is where Margrethe Helles, known as Mags, has spent her career, backed by a Master’s in Psychology and a deep understanding of the science behind rest. Where others see sleep as simply the absence of wakefulness, Mags treats it as its own discipline, one that shapes everything from mood to metabolism when it’s finally working the way it should.

At Sanctum 7, Mags offers a paid sleep consultancy add-on, a 1:1 dive into the specific patterns keeping a guest from truly resting, and the practical shifts that can change that at home, not just for the week.

For guests who’ve tried everything and still can’t switch off, this is often the piece of the retreat they didn’t know they needed.
