Here in The Sanctuary, we specialize in Musculoskeletal Chronic Pain Relief,  Stress Management, Pregnancy and Menopause Care, Manual Lymphatic Massage for Pre and Post Surgery and Sports and Exercise Recovery  through the strategic application of holistic therapies that encompass the mind and body. Our range of Holistic Massage Therapy Treatments encourages the body’s natural healing process, help relieve pain and facilitate a profound release of stress, allowing the body and mind to achieve a harmonious state.

WHAT IS A HOLISTIC MASSAGE THERAPY

Holistic massage therapy is an integrative approach to bodywork that considers the entire individual—body, mind, and spirit—in the healing process.

Unlike traditional massage techniques that may focus solely on physical tension or discomfort, holistic massage emphasizes the interconnectedness of all aspects of a person’s well-being.

Here in The Sanctuary, we offer a unique and holistic approach to healing by recognizing the profound impact of trauma on the body's energy systems. This approach acknowledges that trauma can leave lasting imprints on your energetic field, affecting your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Our Bespoke Holistic Massage Therapy Treatments utilize and combine a variety of healing modalities including Holistic and Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release Techniques, Nerve Entrapment Release, Bioenergy Healing and Aromatherapy, tailored to your specific needs.

  • A space where your body’s shifts are honoured — whether you’re dealing with hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, anxiety, muscle aches or a sense of fragmentation.

  • A tailored approach: your session is adapted to your unique symptom profile, energy levels and comfort zone.

Evidence-Based Support

Clinical research shows that massage therapy can offer real benefits for menopausal and post-menopausal women:

  • In the referenced pilot study, women experienced significant reductions in anxiety and depression symptoms, along with improved sleep latency and sleep-stage 3 & 4 time. PMC+1

  • The study authors highlight that massage “decreased the severity of subjective sleep disturbance related to menopause… and alleviated symptoms of depression and anxiety.” PMC

  • While this is a pilot study with a small cohort, the findings support massage as a cost-effective, non-pharmacological complementary therapy for menopausal symptoms — making this service a relevant, evidence-informed choice for women seeking relief.
