Physical Treatments

In addition, we have a simple three-step process to get you back to full health.
- Option one – Select the Therapist you would like to visit if you already know them. If you’re new to us and don’t know who you need to see, just select ‘not known’ and we will find the perfect therapist for you.
- Option two – Choose your treatment if you know what you need. If you would like multiple treatments, select the most important one first and when one of our therapists contacts you, if your chosen therapist doesn’t provide the additional service, they will know who to refer you to.
- Option three – Enter any details you think would help us find the perfect therapist or treatment for you, or just enter your contact details and hit submit. That’s it!
Your preferred therapist will contact you directly to book your appointment and confirm, or contact you with alternative dates if unavailable.
Lastly, we cater to the local residents (and those from further afield) and we are easily accessible to the surrounding areas including Brentwood, Romford, Hornchurch and Ockenden, with many travelling from further afield.

The Upminster Sanctuary and Its History
The Upminster Sanctuary for Complementary Healing & Teaching is the dream child of our founder Julia Massey.
Julia is an experienced Aromatherapist, Reflexologist, Spiritual Healer and Teacher who in 2007, had the fortune of meeting His Holiness, Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama.

In 1971, Julia had a vision to create a haven for a holistic healing centre and set about acquiring the land, having found the ideal location, set in rural surroundings within two ley lines. However, it was some time before the dream became a reality.
The Upminster Sanctuary officially opened offering clients the opportunity to find contentment and relaxation in beautiful surroundings.
She single-handedly landscaped and cultivated the tranquil garden that all our clients enjoy today, providing, as she puts it…
“A peaceful haven where clients can feel rejuvenated and restored.”
