A LITTLE About...
Welcome
Topaz Holistic Retreat is a calm, nurturing space I have created for you to slow down, reconnect with your body and support your overall wellbeing. My work is holistic, results-led and deeply restorative — combining skilled, intuitive hands-on therapies with natural and organic products to support both physical health and nervous system balance.
I specialise in Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage, Thermal Stone Fusion Therapy, Natural Facial Therapies, Therapeutic Massage and Reflexology. Every treatment is personalised and unhurried, allowing time for your body to soften, respond and restore.
What to Expect
From the moment you arrive, my focus is on your comfort, warmth and ease. Treatments take place on heated, adjustable massage couches with fresh linens, soft blankets, gentle lighting and soothing ambient music. Subtle aromatherapy and thoughtful attention to detail help create a sensory experience that allows you to fully relax.
I work exclusively with high-quality natural and organic skincare and oils, chosen for their effectiveness, gentleness and suitability for sensitive skin and pregnancy where appropriate. Whether you are seeking deep relaxation, support with circulation and lymphatic flow, improved skin vitality or simply time to rest and be cared for, each session is designed to leave you feeling grounded, supported and renewed.
Meet The Therapist - Julia
My path into holistic therapy began after many years in the fashion industry, where I experienced first-hand the pressures of fast-paced, target-driven environments. High stress led me to explore complementary therapies for my own wellbeing, and their impact inspired a change in direction and a return to study.
I qualified as an ITEC Massage Therapist in 2001, followed by Reflexology in 2002, and have since worked across mobile practice, health clubs, salons and wellbeing clinics. From 2008 to 2016, I ran my own holistic salon in Honor Oak Park, and between 2018 and 2021 supported stroke survivors as part of the rehabilitation team at King’s Hospital.
Today, I specialise in deeply restorative, hands-on therapies that support the nervous system, improve circulation and lymphatic flow, and help the body rebalance naturally. My approach is intuitive, unhurried and collaborative, combining therapeutic results with sensory relaxation using natural and organic products wherever possible.
Above all, my intention is to offer a calm, supportive space where clients feel listened to, cared for and able to fully switch off.
I am a full member of the Complementary Therapists Association (CTHA), membership number II71145297.
