Kate popped by yesterday to run through a few things before she officially gets her hands on you lot from this Sunday.

I'm excited for her to get started because she's (1) absolutely lovely and (2) going to take really good care of you all....it's good to know you're being left in safe hands.

Don't forget Kate is running a special offer of £5 off your first treatment until 24th April. If you'd like to book in with her, just follow the usual steps of booking via my website and you'll just be booking in with her instead: https://riasandsptandmassage.co.uk/contact-%26-bookings

Hello everyone

I’m really thrilled to say that a really lovely human has agreed to cover the Healing Room Sunshine Cafe & Yoga while I’m away from the end of March! If I could have described exactly the kind of person I hoped we’d find to look after you all, I think Kate is it, so I’m super happy to be leaving you in her capable hands in a few weeks time.

We’re still pulling everything all together and I’ll update further in the next few days (including some special offers) but I just wanted to introduce you all to Kate!

Kate’s treatments are all about finding rest, balance and space - a wonderful reset for the body and mind.

“I see lots of clients who are busy and juggling so much, it's nice to be able to offer a quiet and peaceful space to take the time to rest, relax and restore, leaving the session feeling rejuvenated.”

Kate offers holistic deep tissue massage and restorative relaxation massage for nourishing the body - combining a fusion of techniques to ease aches, tension and make space in the body leaving you with an increased sense of wellbeing and a feeling of blissful relaxation.

“My background is in Nursing, Nutrition, Health & Wellbeing, Social Prescribing and charity work – I have a love for helping people to nourish and care for themselves, so much can be achieved with good body work and massage and I thoroughly enjoy seeing clients to help with their wellbeing journey.”

“I have a huge love for the sea, being on the beach, swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, walking the coastpath. Cornwall is an incredible place to live and work and feel so lucky to have put my roots down here.”

Customer Feedback:

“I’m busy passing on your details as it was one of the best massages I’ve ever had, it was really special, thank you so much”

“It was lovely to meet you and your massage was wonderfully therapeutic at a very tough time. Your massage gave me renewed energy and I felt more cheerful. Somehow it made me feel that I could cope with whatever life was throwing at me. My previously sluggish digestion is transformed and functioning much better now”

"It was wonderful and such a calming experience. My posture feels better, and I can really feel a difference in my shoulders. Thank you so much!"

Hello!

I wanted to share some exciting news with you all. I’ll be heading off to Australia and New Zealand from the end of March for a few months of a little travel and adventure .. and hopefully some massaging of some rugby players if all goes to plan 🙂

It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while and while I’m really excited, I’m aware it also means a temporary pause in my usual work with you all. I’m so grateful for the continued support you all give me, and I want to make sure I see as many of you as possible before I go.

Bookings between now and mid March are filling up so please don’t wait too long before booking in. I’ll almost definitely open some extra spaces in March to fit everyone in. If you can’t find what you need, just drop me a line.

I’m also looking for someone to cover my beautiful space at Sunshine Cafe & Yoga while I’m away. If you’re a therapist, or know someone who might be interested, please get in touch.

Appointments are currently closed on my bookings page from 20th March onwards, and I’ll keep you updated as plans take shape.

Thanks so much 😍
Ria

Happy twixtmas to you all, I hope the festive period has been kind to you so far. I’ve been busy this past week giving my room a few layers of paint of paint, a damn good clean and a little touch of Ikea!

It’s looking pretty beautiful in there, right in time for a few days of twixtmas massage.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon xx

Hello!

It's the Sunshine Cafe & Yoga Christmas Market this Sunday and I thought I'd join in with the fun by running some mini massage taster sessions for the afternoon! I'm thinking a lovely little neck and shoulder destress might be much needed at this time of year!

Appointments will be 20 minutes long and will cost £15 a you can head into the cafe afterwards to grab a complimentary herbal tea.

I'll have a sign up sheet on the day but if you'd like to book a time in advance, just drop me a message.
