ECM Sun Lounge Set to Open in Warkworth Just in Time for Summer

A new tanning and red light therapy studio, ECM Sun Lounge, is poised to open at Riverview Plaza in Warkworth in the coming weeks. The launch is strategically timed for the arrival of summer, catering to those looking to achieve a sun-kissed look.
Owner Kate Sheehan, a local resident and mother of three, emphasizes the studio’s commitment to providing a luxurious tanning experience. “ECM is more than just a place to tan – it’s a warm, welcoming retreat where cutting-edge tech meets feel-good vibes,” she explains. The space, formerly a doughnut shop, has been transformed into an inviting environment featuring plush interiors, soft lighting, and soothing music.
The studio aims to deliver the safest and most luxurious tanning experience available in the region. To achieve this, ECM Sun Lounge employs EU-compliant hybrid beds that combine gentle UV exposure with red light therapy. This innovative treatment is known for its benefits, including enhanced collagen production and muscle recovery. Sheehan notes, “This means clients tan faster with less UV, reducing the risk of burning while achieving a natural, sun-kissed glow.”
Sessions at ECM Sun Lounge are tailored to individual skin types, ensuring a personalized approach to tanning. Clients can expect expert care as they prepare for holidays or simply seek to enhance their everyday appearance. “Whether you’re prepping for a holiday or just want to look like you’ve already been on one, we’ll help you achieve that effortless, tropical ‘vacay’ bronze,” Sheehan adds.
The studio will offer both casual sessions and concession cards, making it accessible for various clientele. Bookings are now available, and Sheehan expresses her enthusiasm for contributing to the community’s health and confidence. “I want to make the whole community tanned, healthy, and glowing with confidence,” she says.
As ECM Sun Lounge prepares for its opening, the local community can look forward to a unique and modern approach to tanning, blending technology with a relaxing atmosphere.
