In 1997, Sally & Richard Faraway took over a tiny, ailing health food shop called Sunrise which had been established in 1985. It was their dream to turn Sunrise into a complete natural health service, run to a high standard of ethics, providing healthy foods, supplements and remedies to maintain the good health of its customers, combined with a clinic full of professional therapists to help restore the health of those who had become sick. Today, our centre offers  what we set out to provide, and the range of services is growing each year.
Our centre remains unique in the Southend,Rayleigh,Rochford and Hockley area. Nobody else offers our comprehensive range of products and services, and we work hard to ensure that all we provide is affordable but never compromising our standards in pursuit of price. All therapists are highly qualified, experienced, licensed and insured, and our clinic is licensed by Essex County Council and Rochford District Council.
Sally Faraway is a qualified Aromatherapist and masseuse, and manages the clinic. Richard Faraway holds the National Association of Health Stores Diploma (distinction) and manages the shop. The shop staff are suitably qualified to give advice. We offer friendly, patient and free advice to anyone who asks. Our mission is always ‘people before profit’.

Sunrise is at the centre of Hockley, there is FREE PARKING for one hour behind our Centre (SatNav SS5 4AZ), we are 5 minutes walk from Hockley station on the Southend-LondonLiverpool Street line, buses 7,8,18 and 407 stop just outside, so we are easily accessible from Southend, Rayleigh,Rochford,Hawkwell, Ashingdon and Basildon. We have wheelchair access and everything is on the level ground floor.
