A little personal update 💚

I’ve been keeping many of you updated over the past few weeks, as the plan was always to return to the Dursley clinic. Unfortunately, the recent change in ownership came with a rental increase that has more than doubled, which was a real shock and not something I was expecting.

I’m honestly really disappointed, as I had hoped to continue working there, but in order to make it viable I would have had to raise my treatment prices significantly — to a level I just can’t justify.

Because of this, I’ve made the difficult decision to step away from the Dursley location.

At this stage I don’t have a full plan in place for Dursley, and I’ll be taking a little time to reassess my options and figure out the best way forward.

In the meantime, I will still be available for:
• mobile treatments
• appointments in Cheltenham, where I work part-time (more information on this will be shared soon)

To all of my Dursley clients — thank you so much for your support over the years. It truly means more than I can say. I’m really sorry I wasn’t able to offer treatments there before this change, but perhaps I’ll see you again in the future.💚

With love,
Robyn

Hi everyone, just a quick update 💛

Unfortunately, there’s still no real update at the moment as things have been delayed, which is understandably quite frustrating.

In the short term, I’ll be offering at-home treatments, or you’re very welcome to book in at the Cheltenham studio if that works for you.

As soon as everything is up and running again, I’ll be in touch with everyone individually to get appointments rescheduled.

Thank you so much for your continued patience and support — it really means a lot, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all again soon 😊

Hi everyone, just a little update for you all 😊

The new owner is expected to officially take over next week, with contracts due to be exchanged this Thursday — very exciting news!

In the meantime, I won’t be in direct contact with the new owners until everything is finalised, which is completely understandable. The good news is that all therapists have been invited to stay on, which is really reassuring.

There may be a short transition period over the next few weeks, which could cause some minor disruption to my schedule for the remainder of April. I already have bookings in place, and I’ll be in touch individually if any appointments need to be rearranged.

If needed, I can also offer sessions at the Cheltenham studio or mobile appointments as a backup option.

I’ll keep you all updated as soon as I hear more, but hopefully everything will continue to run as smoothly as possible with minimal disruption.
Thank you so much for your patience and support — stay tuned! 💛

Hi everyone,

We’ve recently received confirmation that the sale of Tashi Centre is progressing, with contracts due to be exchanged on 16th April.

We will still be continuing to operate from the centre, however there will be a transitional period while the new owners arrange things such as insurance and other setup requirements. During this time, there may be some temporary changes or limitations.

If you currently have any vouchers, we strongly recommend getting booked in as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment, as we’re not yet 100% certain how everything will work during the transition.

I’ll of course keep you all updated as we learn more. Thank you so much for your continued support and understanding.

Best wishes,
Robyn

Well… surprise, surprise 🫠
I’ve developed tendinitis in my right wrist. Occupational hazard of a hands-on job, hey?

Repetitive movements + lots of pressure + not always practicing what I preach = irritated tendons.

So here’s what I’m currently doing in the acute stage:
🖐 Wrist in a brace for support
⬆️ Elevating it (it’s a little swollen)
🧊 Regular ice to help with inflammation
🚫 Avoiding anything that aggravates it

Early management makes a huge difference — this is exactly what I tell my clients to do, so now it’s my turn to listen!

Once the acute stage settles, I’ll try to book in with my therapist for some dry needling because there is absolutely no way in hell I’m attempting to needle my wrist with left hand 😅.

Moral of the story? Even therapists need therapy sometimes 🤍

Cold and flu season is in full swing 🤧
If you’re anything like me, a simple cold can easily turn into a sinus infection—blocked sinuses, pressure headaches, facial pain… not fun.

💆‍♂️ Massage can help support sinus health by:
• Encouraging lymphatic drainage
• Reducing congestion and facial pressure
• Improving circulation around the head, neck and sinuses
• Relaxing the muscles that contribute to tension headaches

If you’re feeling congested, run down, or prone to sinus issues, a targeted treatment focusing on the neck, face and lymphatic system can be really beneficial.

As always, massage isn’t a substitute for medical care—if symptoms are severe or persistent, please see your GP.

Stay well, drink your fluids, and look after those sinuses!

Client update ✨

As some of you may know, the owners of the Tashi Centre are currently in the process of selling the business. The potential buyer is interested in running the centre as it currently stands, which is really positive news for everyone.

At this stage, there is a possibility that contracts may exchange around 1st April, which could mean a short period of transition. Nothing is confirmed just yet and I'll share updates as soon as I have more clarity.

For now, I am still working as usual. If you currently have a voucher, please do get in touch or book online sooner rather than later to avoid any potential disappointment.

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support - it really is appreciated. 💚
