TREATMENT SPACE
Let's face it, healthcare offices are not exactly known for their attention to aesthetics. Whether it's a loud open therapy gym or a dark, sterile exam room, it'd be hard to describe these spaces as therapeutic. We believe physical spaces affect how we feel and our healing. We are excited to welcome you into our warm and inviting treatment space at Sonder Mind & Body in downtown Greensboro. We feel confident you'll appreciate its beauty.
