About us
My name is Sylvia Scully and Sanctuary Massage and Aromatherapy is my business and I love what I do.
After working for nearly 20 years for government departments and universities, I decided to make some big changes in the way I wanted to live my life and trained as a massage therapist in 1994. Discovering the power of essential oils, I then trained as as aromatherapist in 1996. Working for others on a part-time basis for the next 6 years, I finally opened Sanctuary in 2002 from my home in Auchenflower, later moving to lovely leafy Bardon in 2008.
I am a professionally qualified and experienced practitioner and hold current membership of the AAMT and IAAMA and I am registered with a number of different health funds.
"With Sylvia you have a combination of experience, professionalism, empathy, technical skills and a caring, calm and nurturing approach which inspires confidence in her clients and helps you relax from the moment you walk through the door"

Testimonials
I have been a client of Sanctuary Massage and Aromatherapy since I moved from California in 2002. As a qualified massage therapist myself, I found it very difficult to find a good local masseuse. Finally after many expensive disappointments, I happened upon Sylvia's service when I was 5 months pregnant. I have been a happy regular since that time, and she has supported me through pregnancy, breastfeeding, back injury and shoulder injury all with equal ease. Sylvia's easy going professionalism, attention to detail, consistency and thoughtfulness coupled with her excellent technical skills make every visit a simple, nurturing delight. I highly recommend Sanctuary Massage and Aromatherapy to anyone looking for a consistent high quality remedial or relaxation experience.
- Chris J.
Sylvia Scully has been my monthly massage therapist for over 6 years and she is sheer bliss, I thoroughly recommend her. Sylvia is a highly professional, caring person and tailors your massage to suit your needs. The best night's sleep is always after Sylvia's massage!.
- Jodi E.
I have had a massage every 5 to 6 weeks with various massage therapists over the last 15 years and have found no one who compares to the massages I have had with Sylvia. I would recommend Sylvia to anyone who requires a real "deep" tissue massage or just wants a very relaxing experience.
- Jacqueline S.
Oohhhh as I sit here at my teacher desk, I am looking forward to having another one of Sylvia's relaxing but oohhhh it hits the spot (or spots) massages. She works wonders on this Early Childhood Prep teacher's back and from personal experience comes highly recommended!
- Josie Kelly.
I hate junk mail but I received a promo piece from Sanctuary some three years ago. So I decided to make an appointment. Now, there are masseurs and then there are masseurs. All I will say is Sylvia really knows her craft.
- Vangelis Hondroudakis.
I heard about Sylvia's fantastic massages from work colleagues raving about her. Sylvia has a calming presence and her house has a lovely, warm, relaxing atmosphere. Her massages are heavenly; I often fall into a deep sleep as I am so relaxed. I would recommend Sylvia to anyone thinking of having a massage!
- Angie, Sales Representative
Going to Sylvia's is like going on a mini holiday- I start to relax as soon as I walk in the door and always walk out feeling a million times better.

I always look forward to a massage with Sylvia. She is a great therapist and a lovely person, and the surroundings are so relaxing and peaceful. She is very generous with her talents and time.
- Annabel Farrell.
I have been coming to see Sylvia for the last 12 years. Over the period of time Sylvia has become more of a friend than a massage therapist, and is always willing to listen and share life's experiences. She has the intuitive ability to know exactly what aromatherapy oils my body needs at a particular time. Her massages range from relaxing to invigorating, depending on what is required. I always feel renewed after her massages.
- Susan K.
I first visited Sanctuary Massage 6 years ago. Sylvia is always extremely professional in her approach and the surroundings help to make the whole experience a relaxing and peaceful one. In our busy lives and fast world it is comforting to find such a great place and someone who is willing to take the time to make the experience very personal. Thanks Sylvia !
- Vicki.
Sylvia has a special sixth sense, always knowing when I need something extra special. Sometimes I turn up and she has lit the candles in the middle of the day, because of something she "knew". Every massage is personalised, from the aromatherapy oils to how she treats my muscles. It is always a treat and even a half hour seems to go on, and on. CC,
