Meet Modrn

The first of its kind in Philly, this unique wellness center features an integrative menu of traditional and alternative beauty, wellness and alternative healing therapies and treatments all under one roof.

Owner Alexandra Janelli, a leading hypnotherapist, life coach, wellness entrepreneur and founder of the critically acclaimed Modrn Sanctuary in New York City, assembled a team of experts who work in tandem in traditional and alternative wellness medicines, therapies and treatments.

“I wanted to create a unique space where patrons could relax, rejuvenate, and be taken care of,” explained Janelli, who moved to Philadelphia in 2019.  “Modrn is all about energy and experiences and the treatments are available to help clients look and feel better, more in balance and attuned with themselves and their surroundings."

Within the 1,200+ square foot space, the décor indulges in the senses with its modern aesthetics and blend of traditional and alternative treatments.  When creating the space Janelli stayed away from sterile white and embraced sober colors and calming décor. The goal with her design was to directly influence the subconscious mind by playing with the idea of sensory deprivation. Featuring dark textured crocodile walls, soothing décor, pops of gold and original modern art, Modrn Sanctuary PA is chic yet comfortable, cool but inviting, with an overall ambiance that helps the mind to relax and unwind.

It Moved into a Collaborative Beauty & Wellness Spa
In 2015 the idea for Modrn Sanctuary was born. Her mission was to curate a collaborative wellness space for clients to escape the hustle of daily lives. From idea to execution, Alexandra launched Modrn Sanctuary in 6 months and it soon became one of top names in alternative wellness and beauty first in NYC and then Philadelphia. When creating the ambiance, Janelli played with the influence of the subconscious mind by using elements of sensory deprivation, including black crocodile textured walls, to enhance the experience.
