RN Massage Therapy

My nearly 19 year old son has got himself qualified in Sports Massage Therapy and is starting his own business 👏🏼
… well he is sharing my workspace until it’s not mine anymore 🤣

Rory is passionate about sports, recovery and rehab and this is only the start really of big things to come from him. He has big plans and we would appreciate all the support - so if you’re on Instagram give his page a follow and possibly a share if you can.

Thank you ❤️

Just a little dirty chai thought 💭 that I wanted to share with you….

We live in a world so captivated by what we see that sometimes I think we forget to look a little deeper.

We’re constantly being told how we should look…how we should age…what we should wear and what our bodies should be. As though our reflection in a mirror could ever tell the whole story of who we are nevermind determine our worth.

But a face is only the outside of a person. It doesn’t tell you about their morals or their values, maybe their kindness or their loyalty or even the battles they’ve silently fought.

And perhaps that’s the saddest part really…that we can become so consumed by beauty that we forget to notice goodness or kindess.

Because faces change. Bodies change. Looks fade.
Time leaves its little fingerprints on all of us. The things we once thought made us beautiful will eventually fade, maybe soften or possibly shift completely.

But the way you made someone feel… that stays.

The kindness you showed.
The love you gave.
The compassion you offered when nobody was watching.
The little pieces of yourself you left in the hearts of others.
The way you leave those a little bit better than how you found them.

Those are the things that become timeless.

A beautiful face may catch someone’s eye but a beautiful heart leaves a little piece of itself behind.
And I think that when all is said and done, that is the kind of beauty worth carrying through this life. ❤️

⭐️One whole hour to yourself⭐️
… to switch off completely, just you and your thoughts … with some delicate relaxing music in the background .. and not having me bend your ear for the full appointment ( great selling point .. for I can talk).

I know what it feels like to be burnt out.. equally I know what it feels like to just want left alone in peace. So I’m offering this gorgeous little one hour escape, available to book from September .. because filling your own cup is necessary ❤️🫶

It’s time for a little refresh in my work room…
What do you think of the proposed new colour scheme?
A little lighter, a little brighter and a little space to share 👀

✨Just introducing myself (again)… wouldn’t you know that I’ve a tonne of work to be at so I am procrastinating as normal.

✨I’m Rioná, and I’m passionate about helping people feel more at home in their bodies. As a sports massage therapist (and trainee counsellor), I’ve seen how life’s stresses, worries, responsibilities or activities can settle into our muscles and nervous systems.

✨I work with a whole range of different ages, and different work roles, and believe that everyone benefits from massage work.

✨My treatment room is a place where you don’t have to be anything other than yourself. Whether you’re carrying physical tension, feeling overwhelmed, or simply in need of some time to recharge, my goal is to help you leave feeling lighter and more like you again.

✨I believe massage shouldn’t be a luxury or an afterthought and should be an integral part of how we honour ourselves (you can’t pour from an empty cup and all that).
Every treatment is tailored to you, delivered with warmth, professionalism (questionable at times) and a genuine desire to help you feel your best.

⭐️Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or queries

Hello June 🌿✨

A new month, a softer reminder to come back to yourself. June is a good time to shake off the heaviness, stretch out what’s been held too tightly, and let your body remember it’s allowed to feel good again. Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated… sometimes it’s simply lying down, breathing a bit deeper, and letting someone else do the knot-undoing for a while.

Available slots for the week posted in my story 🫶

Tailored to you 🤍

Dry cupping is a helpful additional therapy that uses plastic suction cups to help release tight muscles, improve circulation, reduce tension and support recovery.
It can be especially beneficial for many players and other athletes who put their bodies under constant strain through training, matches and gym work…helping to ease muscle soreness, improve mobility and speed up recovery time.
But cupping isn’t just for sports people; it can also help anyone dealing with stress, tension, back pain, headaches or general muscular tightness. Many clients describe it as a deep release that leaves the body feeling lighter, looser and more relaxed. As always, treatments are tailored to each individual and their body’s needs ❤️‍🩹

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

A gentle reminder that behind every “I’m fine”, every smile or every “aw I’m grand” there can be a story we don’t see.
As a student counsellor currently in placement, I know only too well the quiet weight that people carry every day often without anyone realising.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it’s so important to have spaces where you feel safe, seen, and able to simply be.

My massage room is more than just a place for physical relief… I try to make it a calm, supportive space where you can relax, breathe, sleep if you want and let go, even if it is just for a little while. Your wellbeing matters, both physically and emotionally.

My messages are always open if you need a chat. And if you’re struggling and need a little extra support, I’m here to gently and discreetly help signpost you in the right direction (one more year till I’m qualified 🤞)

You are not alone, even when it feels like you are 🤍
