Palmer Counseling Services recognizes that mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness requires deliberate attention. Counseling Services offers two relaxation spaces for a quiet refreshing break in your day. The Dendera Sanctuary is located in Counseling Services West Hall, Suite 128, Room C, and the Level Seven Sanctuary is located in West Hall, Suite 303. When you visit the sanctuaries we ask that you respect others and the purpose of these spaces: please turn off cell phones, and do not eat or study while in the sanctuaries.
The Dendera Sanctuary
The Dendera sanctuary is a space for peace, calm, relaxation and rejuvenation amidst the hurry and stresses of your day. This tranquil space contains a plant garden, Interactive Health robotic massage chairs, and a comfortable couch. Across from West Hall, Room 128A, is the Tea Room, where you can refresh yourself with a cool glass of water or enjoy a cup of hot tea.
