Thriyv is Manchester City Centre’s CQC registered leading longevity, wellness and aesthetics hub — and the only one where your treatments are overseen by a GMC-registered doctor with a surgical background.
We built Thriyv because we were frustrated by the same thing our clients were: fragmented services, inconsistent standards, and wellness spaces that looked the part but lacked clinical substance. Thriyv fixes all three.
Whether you’re here for cryotherapy, anti-wrinkle injections, fat freezing, or a full recovery protocol — every service at Thriyv has been selected, structured and clinically validated by Dr Callum Shields MBChB MRCS.
One roof. One team. No compromises.
Say goodbye to trekking between multiple locations for your wellness fix, and say hello to your new favourite place to relax.
Dr Cal graduated with honours from the University of Liverpool Medical School in 2019, placing in the top 5% of his graduating cohort.
He began his clinical career in Manchester before specialising in Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) and Head & Neck Surgery — earning membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) and accumulating extensive surgical experience in the NHS.
That surgical background is central to what makes Thriyv different. ENT surgery demands a precise, working knowledge of facial anatomy — including the blood vessels, nerves, and glands that sit directly beneath the skin. That’s the same anatomical knowledge that separates safe aesthetics from unsafe aesthetics.
Driven by a desire to raise the clinical standard of aesthetic and wellness medicine, Dr Cal joined Thriyv as Medical Director — overseeing all treatment protocols, clinical governance, and the aesthetic services delivered at the clinic.
Every treatment at Thriyv is shaped by his expertise.
Jess graduated from the University of Chester with a degree in Paediatric Nursing and developed her surgical expertise as a scrub practitioner — mastering a wide range of operating theatre techniques.
A committed patient safety advocate, Jess has contributed to research programmes improving ENT surgical care for children globally, and has spoken at the world’s largest paediatric ENT conference.
At Thriyv, Jess brings that same surgical precision and patient-first ethos to aesthetic treatments — delivering natural, confidence-building results with a meticulous attention to safety at every stage.
Alicia holds a degree in Financial Services and brings a background spanning professional services, hospitality, and health-focused business management. As Thriyv’s Clinic Manager, she ensures the day-to-day operation of the clinic runs to the same high standard our clients experience in the treatment room.
Alicia is a genuine advocate for the services Thriyv offers — her interest in health, wellness and balanced living isn’t performative. Outside the clinic, you’ll find her on horseback or on a Pilates mat.
Liv is a final-year Business Studies student and young entrepreneur with her own developing e-commerce brand. Liv’s work on her own business, and her background in competitive showjumping, has instilled a commitment to maintaining high standards and a strong appreciation of the discipline required to maintain peak physical performance.
Liv brings her experience and her understanding of the importance of recovery to THRIYV, and is responsible to helping deliver THRIYV’s advanced wellness treatments. Liv takes pride in her knowledge of our clinical protocols, and is there to help our clients navigate their wellness journeys and achieve the revitalisation they’re seeking.
Every aesthetic treatment at Thriyv is administered exclusively by GMC or NMC-registered medical professionals. Every wellness protocol has been reviewed and clinically validated by our Medical Director, Dr Callum Shields MBChB MRCS.
That means you’re not relying on a therapist who completed a weekend course. You’re in the hands of practitioners who trained in NHS operating theatres, understand facial anatomy at a surgical level, and are held to a professional code of conduct by their regulatory body.
All aesthetic clients are screened for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) prior to treatment — because patient safety is not optional, and some people need a different kind of support before they need a treatment.
Thriyv was built by bringing likeminded people together. People who wanted a space where they could rest, recuperate and reset, and build towards a healthier more productive version of themselves. After chatting with our nearest and dearest (and anyone that would listen to be honest!), we realised that we weren’t alone.
We also realised that whilst Manchester is THE best city to live in, and the people of the North are unmatched, making friends and finding likeminded people who don’t just want to go on night out after night out can be challenging.
That’s why at Thriyv, community is everything to us, and we aim to be a safe and welcoming space for those looking to take their health and wellness game to the next level, and surround themselves with people who want the same!
From our run clubs, to our social mixers or promotional events, Thriyv is a community driven hub that aims to help you not only level up your recovery and reach your goals, but find others who share the same mindset and want to go on that same journey.
Thriyv is staffed by medical professionals, and as such we’re committed to operating an ethical service across our portfolio. As mentioned, our medical professionals are all registered with a designated professional body meaning they are held accountable for their practices. That’s why all of our aesthetic services are administered by registered medical professionals only, and our wellness services have been review and their associated protocols crafted with oversight from our medical professionals.
All of our aesthetics clients are screened for Body Dysmorphia Disorder (BDD), to enable us to identify potentially vulnerable individuals and help them seek help from professionals with experience in managing these conditions. Whilst we will always champion an individual exercising their right to pursue aesthetic treatments, Thriyv will not proceed with treatments where is it not assessed to be in the clients best interest.
But what does this mean? At it’s core, it mean’s Thriyv’s priority is helping you achieve your goals but in a way that does right by you. No unnecessary upsells, no services with exaggerated claims and unvalidated results. Just high quality services that are right for you and your goals and delivered in a clean, safe and professional environment by appropriately qualified and trained staff.
Thriyv also understands there is a lot of information out there on longevity, wellness and aesthetics, and that it can all be quite overwhelming. With this, there is massive margin for individuals seeking treatments and services that they not only don’t need, but may be counterproductive to them meeting their goals. That’s why Thriyv is committed to providing our clients and the public with free educational content across our social and media platforms, so that you can make informed decisions – whether you decided to join the Thriyv family or not!
Heat, cold and compression are key pillars of the recovery cycle, and we found visiting multiple places the specialised in a single element fatiguing when trying to level up or wellness and longevity journeys.
Thriyv’s longevity, wellness, aesthetics and skincare services have been hand selected and implemented to create a unified solution, all housed under one roof. Whether it’s contrast therapy, recovery from professional sports and competitions, or helping unlock clear and glowing skin, the services across the Thriyv portfolio are highly complementary.
