Sarah Davies Therapies Holistic & Clinical Massage Therapist. Specialising in chronic pain for women. Nantgarw | Pontypridd

My mission is to remind you just how good your body can feel by easing aches & pains with a relaxing deep tissue massage. I want people to know that a good massage doesnโ€™t have to hurt to be effective and deep tissue massage is gentle enough to be relaxing, yet deep enough to ease stubborn muscles. I stand against massages that hurt or make you feel uncomfortable, and work towards providing a blended treatment of different therapies that are perfectly tailored to your needs.

I was talking to a client over the weekend about supplements & perimenopause, and I mentioned my GP recommended Calcium for hormones, but I couldn't remember why. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Calcium can help reduce emotional and physical
symptoms by supporting hormonal balance.

How Calcium Helps:

๐Ÿ’œ Neurotransmitter support: Calcium helps regulate
neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which
control mood, irritability, and depression.

๐Ÿ’œ Hormonal interaction: Ovarian hormone shifts during the menstrual cycle affect how your body absorbs and processes calcium.

๐Ÿ’œ Physical relief: Adequate calcium helps relax muscles and stabilize nerve function, which can lessen cramps, fatigue, and water retention.

Calcium needs to be taken with D3 for absorption, and best taken with food, without any other minerals.

As a clinical therapist, I'm registered with Lamberts for 'professional grade' supplements, and get a good discount off RRP.

If anyone would like the full list of what I take to help with PMT/PMDD, let me know.

Or, if you'd like to know the price of anything, I don't take a cut and pass the discount on.

(It's always best to consult a medical professional before taking supplements.)

Being a perpetual life-long student and mum, September always feels like the start of a new year for me.

Training with Rebecca: Strength + Wellbeing Coach, she's set me a double challenge this month.

1. Walk to work 3 times weekly
2. Daily 20 min Salute to the Sun routine

So, I want to share a challenge here too.

What 1 small thing can you do this month that will take you closer to your goals?

If accountability helps, share it here, and check-in weekly.

It might be something small a few times a week, or something daily.

It could be to help physically or mentally.

If you're not sure what your goals are, we can set some during your next appointment.

Setting small goals makes aspirations manageable by providing quick wins that build lasting motivation, confidence, and momentum.

Plus, who doesn't love a dopamine boost!? ๐Ÿ˜Š

Here you'll find no hidden charges. No sneaky 'upgrades', and no pushy sale tactics.

All my treatments are one price, allowing you to Mix & Match treatments, depending how you feel on the day.

So, if your treatment includes any additional tools, you won't be charged extra. ๐Ÿ’œ

Who is Sarah Davies?

I'm a 46-year-old Mum of two. ๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘ง

I'm plus-sized - so you'll never be judged on your body.

I'm a hippy a heart (yes, I do hug tress). So, my treatments can include energy / somatic work if that's something you're interested in.

My daughter is Autistic, so, understanding Neurodiversity is important to me.

I'm Neurodivergent myself, so it doesn't matter if clients tic, stim or struggle to relax.

I *probably* have ADHD, so even after 19 years as a physical therapist, I still want to know EVERYTHING about the holistic and clinical approach.

I'm Perimenopausal - ask me about brain fog and I probably won't remember!

I lift weights, so anything connected to muscle function and nutrition is my side quest. ๐Ÿ’ช

I class myself as a Nerd, so get on well with Geeks. ๐Ÿค“

I probably use emojis too much - this one is my favourite: ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I have a deep aversion to Ai - it makes me feel uneasy.

My favourite area to massage is the neck, because it's intricate and detailed work. ๐Ÿ˜

I got into massage because I was asked "What would I do if I didn't get on the Clinical Psychology course?"
I facetiously replied "I'll massage people's problems away instead!" (I didn't get on the course).

I don't consider myself a Feminist, but an Equalist, and proud to be 'woke'.

I aim to provide a perfect balance between holistic and clinical treatments. Which is a challenge, but I love it!

I have Alopecia following the birth of my daughter. I refuse to wear a wig, because I have nothing to hide, and I'm not ashamed of it.

At 46, I'm still learning the importance of boundaries and preventing burn-out.

Finally, I absolutely, wholeheartedly love my job. I'm greatful every single day, and view it as a privileged pleasure to walk beside people on their journeys.

๐Ÿ’œ

P.s Grace - the plant has made a full recovery since the heatwave (I also name my plants).

Q: What happens when a ND massage therapist can't massage because her kiddo is on bed rest?...

A: She signs-up for more training, of course!

Yep, following a rabbit hole of looking for local ADHD support groups, I didn't find any, but instead found an advert to train as a ADHD coach. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

From September they'll be no clinic on Tuesdays.

Coaching is all about collaborative goal setting, so, it ties in nicely with what I do now with Rehab.

If you struggle with ADHD issues, keep me I'm mind, as I'll be looking for 2 practice clients towards the end of the year.

P.S. Massive thanks to all the comments & messages of love and support. Ffion is making a great recovery. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’–

TAI CHI & CLINIC CANCELLED TODAY!

We spent last night at the hospital.
Ffion (12) had a seizure. Thankfully they let her come home early hours, but, she needs constant monitoring until she has more tests.

I'll be contacting everyone who's due in this week to reschedule, I'm just going to take each day as it comes at the moment.

I'll keep this page updated.

We were so lucky to have the sensory room at the Heath to help her recover. The Paeds staff were amazing.

I'll welcome any advice or tips on seizures or epilepsy.
