“My work is not just a career – it’s my calling,” says Jaclyn Vargas, who was driven to pursue a path of healing after first taking her own personal steps to improve her wellness. Faced with a diagnosis of autoimmune issues in 2011 and later, a late-stage Lyme disease diagnosis, Jaclyn embarked on a journey to explore holistic remedies. The transformative therapies she discovered played a pivotal role in her healing, deeply inspiring her to share these powerful tools with others. This passion to support others in reclaiming their health led her to create SANCTUARY SAUNA STUDIO & WELLNESS – an inviting space designed for relaxation, healing, and prevention, where individuals can discover a holistic approach to wellness.
Sanctuary provides services that benefit individuals with chronic illnesses and autoimmunity, as well as those focused on relaxation, recovery, wellness, and longevity. “People come in not because they’re sick, but because they want to stay healthy,” Jaclyn shares. “Whether it’s treating symptoms, working on optimal function, or simply relieving stress and decompressing, these are investments in a longer, healthier life.”
The therapies offered at Sanctuary have been carefully selected for their studied holistic benefits and include infrared sauna, cold immersion therapy, red light therapy, halotherapy, aromatherapy, compression boot therapy, Reiki, Reiki drumming, and sound healing. Each of these modalities is designed to support the body’s natural healing processes, which all contribute to Jaclyn’s goal of facilitating tangible transformations in individuals’ health and well-being. “Just one hour of relaxation can make a big difference in how you feel and function,” adds Jaclyn. “And over time, regular sessions help to keep you feeling balanced and energized.”
Jaclyn brings years of professional experience and certifications to her work. As a seasoned Reiki Master and lifelong learner in energy healing, she combines her personal healing journey with her expertise in holistic health. “This is the work I was meant to do, and I’m deeply grateful to live it,” she reflects. “I get to witness profound changes in the lives of my clients, helping them reclaim their health, find peace, and live with more vitality.”
At Sanctuary, clients discover a welcoming space to restore balance, find relief, and reconnect with their well-being, no matter their challenges. Jaclyn acts as a compassionate guide throughout their wellness journeys, empowering them through the example of her own story. “I’m most proud of never giving up and continually seeking what makes me whole and fulfilled,” she shares. “Creating Sanctuary has been the culmination of that search. Seeing clients experience real transformations fills me with pride.”
Exciting growth is underway at Sanctuary, with the upcoming addition of a new location in Warren, RI. “I’m thrilled about this new chapter and the opportunities it will bring,” Jaclyn says. “This next step will allow for more healing modalities, workshops, and opportunities for growth as I continue supporting individuals on their wellness journeys.”
Jaclyn emphasizes that wellness begins with self-care, not as a luxury but as an essential foundation for a fulfilling life. “It’s not selfish to take time for yourself – it’s an important investment in your mind, body, spirit, and future,” she urges. “As I always say, ‘The best thing you can give yourself is a little bit of your own attention.”
