A SANCTUARY of beauty and holistic care has opened in the heart of Clitheroe as a unique shrine to both a healthy body and mind. Yet this haven, located in Swan Court, just off the main town centre thoroughfare, already has an established reputation and proven track record as a premier, but friendly, local salon. Clitheroe Beauty and Holistic Health Centre was founded almost four years ago by Mrs Maureen Bracewell in Pimlico Road. Since then, she has worked hard to build a team of first- class health and beauty professionals qualified to offer an exclusively vast range of therapies. Such is the extensive range of treatments now available that additional space was required, which is why the centre has relocated. Yet despite its extensive menu and plush new surroundings, customer care and comfort is the top priority for Mrs Bracewell and her staff, who take pride in a clientele, ranging in age from
