Therapeutic and remedial, or simply relaxing
Each treatment is shaped around what you would like it to achieve, from firm work on knots and stiff muscles to a slow, soothing aromatherapy massage.
Therapeutic and remedial
We specialise in helping you to be free from aches and pains, and increasing your mobility.
Deep Tissue Massage
A focused, therapeutic massage that targets muscle knots (also known as adhesions) and specific problem areas in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Firm pressure and slow strokes reach the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. It is used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness and sore shoulders.
Sports and Remedial Massage
Designed to prevent and treat injuries, improve flexibility and enhance athletic performance, for athletes of all abilities preparing for or recovering from sport. Even if you aren't an athlete, sports massage may help muscle pain or restricted range of motion. The strokes are generally faster than a typical massage, and may include compression, trigger point therapy, friction and passive joint mobilisation, as well as MET and PNF stretches.
3 in 1 Massage
A combination of Hot Stone Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Aromatherapy, with the heat from the stones warming and loosening the muscles, allowing for deeper muscles to be worked more easily, and leaving you feeling relaxed and unknotted.
Kinesio Taping
A rehabilitative taping technique that supports muscles and joints without restricting your range of motion, and prolongs the benefits of the hands-on work in your treatment. It is available as part of a Sports Massage.
Relaxation
Essential oils, warm stones and candle wax: treatments for when your body and mind need to relax.
Aromatherapy Massage
After your consultation, and depending on what you would like the treatment to achieve, Lauren mixes a blend of between three and six essential oils in a carrier oil, designed to suit your needs. Depending on how you feel, the oils can be used to soothe, uplift, energise, relax or stimulate.
Hot Stone Massage
A deeply relaxing treatment using smooth basalt stones, slowly heated to the perfect temperature. Lauren holds the stones and massages with them, and uses some as placement stones on problem areas. The stones gently ease away your stresses, leaving you floating away as if on a cloud.
Reflexology
A form of bodywork that applies pressure to the feet and hands. Book it on its own, with a back massage, with hot stones, with crystal chakra balancing, or finished with a head and scalp massage.
Candle Massage
A luxurious, warm candle massage: back of body for an hour, or full body including feet and head over ninety minutes.
Facials
We use products from AA Skincare, and make up masks from scratch using clay powders for those with more delicate skin. All products are chosen to suit your skin type. A facial includes a cleanse, scrub, mask and a moisturising massage. A patch test may be necessary.
TMJ therapy for the jaw, face, neck and shoulders
TMJ Therapy uses a very gentle technique targeting the jaw, face, neck and shoulders. Lauren trained in TMJ Therapy under Tracy Keirnan at Blend Therapy Training, who has developed TMJ Therapy and TMJ SOS in the UK over the last 20+ years.

- Headaches of varying intensity, especially in the area around the temples
- Popping, clicking or grating noises in the jaw joint
- Deep jaw discomfort
- Difficulty opening your mouth, speaking or moving the jaw from side to side

What our clients say

Truly excellent massage. Lauren put me at ease straight away and I could tell she knew what she was doing as soon as she started, as she honed in on knots and issues. I wanted a relaxing massage, but also targeting problem areas. She didn't hurt me at all during the massage & it was so good & relaxing. I certainly felt the work she'd done releasing all the tightness and toxins the next day! Definitely made a big difference. I'll be booking another session soon. Thanks Lauren!
I took my daughter to get a massage as she's been having persistent migraines. Lauren spoke to her and gave her a wonderful massage, explaining what she was working and why. My daughter came out relaxed and sleepy, and very happy. Definitely recommend.
Absolutely divine treatment. Lauren is incredibly professional and her massage was excellent. Can’t wait to return for more pampering!
In wales on holiday. Bad back and Lauren fit me in. I’d give today’s visit 4 1/2 stars because the garden room where Lauren has her studio was very hot - due to the weather; but I’d rather be too warm being massaged than too cold. But that is nitpicking. Lauren was friendly and professional and obviously has a real passion for what she does. She’s well trained, knows her stuff and her talent is exceptional. Thanks

Really good massage. Released lots of tension that had been building up for months. Lauren is lovely and makes you feel glazed and safe.
Lauren is an exceptional massage practitioner. Every massage is different, according to your needs. She has magic hands and intuitively finds the troubling spots. Thank you x
Wow ✨️ feeling very relaxed x lovely relaxing atmosphere x beautiful smelling oils xx would highly recommend xx will be back again soon xx thank you x
Lauren was so welcoming and made me feel at ease. The treatment was sublime,I was on a cloud for the rest of the day, and, slept deeply that night. Already booked my next treatment. Bliss.
This was my 1st booking with Lauren and she certainly did not disappoint. Lauren was recommended by a friend who has seen Lauren on numerous occasions and whilst I was away on a week enjoying Cardigan and its wonderful surroundings I thought I'd stop for an appointment. I had the Reflexology and Back session and by far, was the best massage I have had to date. Lauren was professional, friendly,calm and knew exactly what she was doing. I highly recommend seeing Lauren and I will be back for more when I'm next in town. Thank you :)
Lauren provides such a lovely, warm welcome and you begin to relax as soon as you walk through the door. The treatment was excellent - I have had a very busy, quite stressful few months and walked out feeling relaxed and lighter. I look forward to my appointments with Lauren and book whenever I am able to travel to Wales. Thank you - look forward to my next appointment in November.
