The City Zen Sanctuary offers professional therapeutic bodywork in Edinburgh, including Shiatsu, Deep Tissue massage, and Back, Neck & Shoulders treatments, supporting people with stress, tension, pain, and ongoing physical or emotional strain.

Clients book different treatments depending on what they need in the moment:

• Back, Neck & Shoulders massage for focused relief of tension and desk-related strain
• Deep Tissue massage for chronic tightness, restricted movement, or muscular discomfort
• Shiatsu for more holistic support, working with the nervous system, energy balance, and overall wellbeing

All sessions are tailored to the individual and begin with a short consultation. Depending on your needs, treatments may combine elements of different approaches to achieve the most effective outcome. Shiatsu treatments are usually received fully clothed.

Many clients come to the City Zen Sanctuary when they:

• Feel stressed, overwhelmed, or physically run down
• Experience recurring tension or pain that keeps returning
• Want more than a relaxing massage and are seeking therapeutic support

I’m Greg, a qualified pharmacist with over 10 years of experience working in healthcare, and the founder of The Holistic Pharmacist.

My work brings together my background in health and physiology with hands-on treatments designed to support physical recovery, relaxation, and overall wellbeing. I offer massage treatments and infrared light therapy that help reduce muscular tension, improve circulation, and give the body space to reset.

Many of the clients I work with lead busy or physically demanding lives - whether through work, training, or everyday stress. My treatments are designed to support the body when it’s under pressure, helping to release tight muscles, encourage recovery, and promote relaxation.

Each appointment begins with a short consultation so the treatment can be adapted to your needs on the day. Some sessions focus on deeper work to address areas of muscular tension, while others are more restorative, helping calm the nervous system and bring the body back into balance.

My aim is to provide treatments that are thoughtful, professional, and grounded in an understanding of how the body works, while creating a space where clients can fully relax and switch off.

Treating the body, supporting the mind.
