Massage Therapies at The Upminster Sanctuary
Massage is one of the most natural ways to support the body.
At The Upminster Sanctuary, we offer a range of massage therapies, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and aromatherapy massage, each designed to help relieve muscle tension and improve circulation.
Whether you’re holding stress in your shoulders, experiencing general stiffness, or simply seeking relaxation, massage can help the body soften and restore a sense of ease.
Through skilled, therapeutic touch, massage encourages better flow, reduced tension, and overall physical wellbeing.
Sometimes the body responds best when given the space to unwind. 🌿

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is a traditional therapy that uses gentle suction cups placed on the skin to encourage circulation and release areas of tension.

By creating a light vacuum effect, cupping helps support blood flow, ease tight muscles, and promote natural movement within the body. Many people choose it to support muscular discomfort, stiffness, or areas that feel held and restricted.

At The Upminster Sanctuary, cupping is offered as part of our holistic approach to physical wellbeing, working with the body to restore flow and encourage balance.

Sometimes the body simply needs help letting go of what it’s been holding.

Support for life’s turning points.
Life doesn’t always change dramatically, sometimes it shifts quietly. A new chapter, a loss, a relationship change, a career move, or simply a feeling that something isn’t quite as it was.
At The Upminster Sanctuary, counselling and psychotherapy offer a safe, confidential space to explore these transitions with professional guidance and care. It’s a place to reflect, process emotions, and better understand your thoughts and patterns, without judgement or pressure.
Life’s turning points can feel uncertain, but they can also be opportunities for clarity and growth.
You don’t have to navigate them alone. 🌿

Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho
Is the original teachings of Reiki

Translates to “Improvement of the mind, then the body with Usui’s Reiki Healing Method”

Most people think of Reiki as purely a hands on healing modality when in fact firstly it is a spiritual practise.

Usui Reiki Ryoho is all about turning into the self and finding stillness with daily practise and living the Gokai (Reiki Precepts).

If you would like to start your spiritual healing path I would be honoured to guide you. My next Level 1 is 25th and 26th April 2026. All of my students become part of a Reiki Community with monthly shares in The Upminster Sanctuary Barn.

On Sunday 19th April 2026 at 10:30am, we’re opening a gentle space for our very first Wild Church Meeting, a morning to step out of the rush, stand with the Earth, and remember what it feels like to simply be.

No religion involved. No money required. Just a shared intention to honour Mother Earth, breathe a little deeper, and connect with like minded hearts.
Refreshments will be waiting in our Sanctuary Barn afterwards.
To join us, contact Julia Massey on 01708 251124. 🌿

We’re not quite in spring yet.
But you can feel it coming.
The light lingers a little longer. The air feels slightly different. There’s a quiet sense of something shifting beneath the surface.
This in-between season is a gentle reminder that change doesn’t arrive all at once. It begins slowly, subtly, almost unnoticed.
At The Upminster Sanctuary, this time of year is about preparation rather than pressure. Supporting your energy, restoring balance, and creating space so that when the new season does arrive, you feel ready for it.
Not rushing forward.
Just quietly realigning. 🌿
