Our Healing Room is a space for you to let go, restore and heal. With cosy lighting, aromatherapy and music that lulls you into peace and rest. Our practitioners combine energetic and hands-on healing that helps you align your physical, emotional and spiritual health. It’s about bringing you back to you. Sometimes we fall out of ourselves. Our therapies will help you back up.
Whether you’re coming to relieve pain, reduce stress or just take some time to escape the noise, our practitioners would love to chat to you about what they offer (find their details below). Because it’s never a one-size-fits-all approach.

ABOUT RIA
Ria is a soft-tissue therapist, with a Level 5 diploma in Sports and Remedial Massage. She is also a member of the Institute for Sports and Remedial Massage and has been a practicing therapist since 2016.
She has struggled with back pain since a playground accident when she was 9 years old. Her pain has ranged from mild to severe leaving her frustrated at times and unable to do all the things she wants to. This is where her interest in human anatomy, movement and healing stems from and why she wants to help people feel better and move better.
She is also a qualified personal trainer and works with customers of all ages in the Truro and Falmouth area.
She’s a regular gym goer and has just started gig rowing again after a 6 year break.

TREATMENTS:
Sports massage, deep tissue massage, soft tissue therapy - Ria could describe what she does in a number of different ways however it all comes down to giving you the very best treatment possible to leave you feeling as amazing as possible afterwards!
All of her treatments are based on individual customer needs and no two massages are the same. She listens to her customers and takes time to understand what has brought them to her for treatment in the first place. It's important to Ria that you work together to make sure your treatment is as effective as possible.
Sports massage isn't about squashing her customers into submission! Everyone is different and she’s keen to move people away from the idea that sports massage is a painful and unpleasant experience. Yes, it can be a little uncomfortable at times, but she works with her customers to make sure you manage discomfort to keep painful moments to a minimum!
She is a massive believer in the benefits of hands-on treatment - it's a hugely powerful thing. She also recognises the benefits of taking some time for yourself for a little self-care. Taking an hour out of your busy schedule once a month for the opportunity to lie down on a massage couch, close your eyes and relax can be just what is needed to look after both your body and mind a little better.
Ria has learnt over the years how much of an effect the mind has on the body and how it influences our experiences of pain. Part of her treatment often includes helping people understand how and why their body feels pain in the way it does. If you're unsure about whether she’s the right therapist for you, please feel free to get in touch for a chat.
