What we believe in
The Upminster Sanctuary, founded in 1998 by Julia Elizabeth Massey, is a holistic healing and teaching centre nestled in the beautiful rural landscape of Upminster, Essex.
Central to the Sanctuary’s ethos is a profound commitment to the love and care of all its visitors. However, our Sanctuary is best known for its friendly atmosphere and tranquil environment designed to rejuvenate and restore your well-being.
OUR Holistic Healing Philosophy
This dedication is reflected in the wide array of holistic therapies offered, encompassing physical, emotional, and restorative treatments.
Physical therapies include hands-on treatments such as massage, reflexology, acupuncture, and cupping, aimed at addressing bodily ailments and promoting relaxation.
Emotional treatments focus on mental and spiritual well-being, offering services like psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness coaching, and spiritual guidance.
Restorative treatments utilize natural remedies, including aromatherapy oils, Bach flower essences, and herbal medicines, to complement conventional medical approaches.
The Sanctuary places a strong emphasis on aligning with nature, ensuring that all products used, sold, or recommended are environmentally friendly and sustainably sourced.
This philosophy extends to their herbal medicine practices, which utilize plant-based treatments prepared with traditional techniques.
