Lucy Fear Massage & Wellbeing.

Advanced Massage Therapist based in Chepstow, S Wales. (Maitri School of Craniosacral Therapy 2007). Male and female clients. Can do home visits.

I offer treatment for a wide variety of conditions and free consultations. Feel free to enquire further info I was inspired to complete my Advanced Diploma in Massage Therapy when my mum was diagnosed with cancer many years ago and I really wanted to help alleviate her lymph oedema. I was also working with disabled children at the time and soon realised that massage could hugely benefit their mobility and associated symptoms. Since qualifying in 2007 at the Maitri School of Cranial Sacral Therapy in Stroud, I have treated a number of people, young, and old, male and female with various symptoms and conditions. These have included stress relief, ibs, asthma, cancer and much more. I get great pleasure from treating my clients and seeing the benefits and value it had brought to their lives and conditions. My treatments are largely based on Swedish principles, however, I use various techniques to suit a course of treatment that is tailor made to an individual's needs. I continue to learn and study techniques to benefit each client and their condition, to give them a client centred treatment.

Confessions of a Massage Therapist Part 1.

28/01/2026

Shout out to all the peri-meno Queens out there 👑
Some days are worse than others, hey!?

Well… I’m feeling it today.

That familiar sense of unsettledness in my gut, waking with elevated cortisol — pretty standard for me around each 28-day (or thereabouts) cycle. Probably low in iron again, and an endless to-do list on top of it all.

Life is hard at times… but it can feel even harder when you’re navigating peri too.
Some of us are more sensitive than others to the changes.
Some of us experience bigger waves of hormones throughout the month.

It can be truly debilitating

As wellness practitioners, we are often extremely self-aware.
We usually know what supports us.
We understand the tools, the practices, the science and the nervous system…

But we are human too.

Knowing what helps doesn’t mean it’s always easy to do.
And sometimes, even with all the knowledge in the world, we still struggle.

So, if you can relate, I see you. I hear you.
And I want to share 10 things that help me cope and ride out the wave until the next one 🌊

1. Stay hydrated
I really mean it — at least 3 pints of water a day (tea and coffee don’t count).

2. Five minutes of meditation daily
With conscious breathwork.

3. Reduce sugar and caffeine intake
Both can make agitation and anxiety worse.

4. Restorative yoga
Lying in supportive, gentle poses. (Happy to share my favourites!)

5. Gentle movement
Running or walking for me — and sometimes dancing like nobody’s watching 💃

6. Abstain from alcohol
Completely, if possible.

7. Hugs 🫂
A hug longer than 30 seconds increases oxytocin

8. Supportive supplements
Magnesium glycinate, ashwagandha, collagen, vitamin B complex, vitamin D, iron, lion’s mane. (Always check what’s right for you.)

9. Self-Reiki
Giving myself Reiki helps bring balance.

10. Release the guilt
Sometimes the goal is simply surviving the wave — and that is enough.

And I aim to do most of the above in or surrounded by nature.

Sending love to every one of you riding this journey 🤍
You’re not broken. You’re not alone. You’re powerful — even on the hard days.

Kiara couldn't wait to be the first one to receive thai yoga on my new kapok mattress.

🌿 What is Thai Yoga? 🌿

Thai Yoga, also known as Thai Yoga Massage, is a traditional bodywork practice with roots in ancient Thai medicine, Ayurveda and Buddhist philosophy.

It is a fully clothed, mat-based practice that combines assisted yoga-style stretches, gentle rocking and rhythmic pressure applied along the body’s energy lines (Sen lines).

Unlike conventional massage, Thai Yoga involves guided movement and passive stretching, helping to improve flexibility, joint mobility, circulation and energy flow while supporting deep relaxation of the nervous system. Because of the passive nature, it is often called 'lazy yoga' and both hands and feet are often used.

The practice is often used to reduce stress, relieve muscular tension, support posture and encourage overall physical and emotional balance.

It is an absolute favourite with my clients and I love seeing their confidence grow when their mobility grows too.

It has just dawned on me that this year marks 20 years since I completed my initial training in Advanced Massage Therapy at the School of Craniosacral Therapy. At that time, I was still working in education and in the charity sector, mainly within disability services. Along that journey I met so many remarkable people and learned deeply about the challenges individuals face—not only with their health, but also in accessing the care they so often have to fight for.

I worked within school SEND departments, watching children grow and flourish as they were supported to reach their full potential. I also walked alongside families caring for children with complex and often life-limiting conditions, sharing in both their joys and their heartbreaks. It’s no wonder I remember every one of them.
Each person shaped how I see others and helped develop the empathy and compassion that I now carry into my practice every day.

When I started my massage business and set up my own full-time clinic nine years ago, it was built on everything I had learned from those years of supporting others. Since then, I’ve continued to study, train and grow across different areas of massage therapy and wellbeing. This has allowed me to develop a truly blended, holistic approach—so I can offer the very best care to each person who comes through my door.

I hope that my own mind body will allow me to continue practising for another 20 years. My promise to my clients is that I will keep learning, keep evolving, and always offer the very best I can.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me, shared their stories, and allowed me to be part of their journey.
I will always remember you, and I am grateful to every single one of you.

Being back at work means being back with this beautiful view.
There is a beautiful stillness here today.

A bit of tree-hugging in the Forest of Dean today 🌳 How wonderfully hippy of me. Hard not to feel grounded surrounded by all this. Deep roots, quiet strength and a reminder to breathe, soften and reconnect with nature.

21/12/2025

Our Story

After studying Sociology at Gloucestershire University and gaining an Honours Degree I have worked both in the Disability and Education sector, primarily with children and their families. In 2007, I completed an Advanced Massage Diploma at the Maitri Foundation of Cranial Sacral Therapy which took a couple of years of the study of anatomy, physiology and pathology in order to have the understanding and skills required in order to treat a wide number of complaints through massage. Until recently, massage was my second 'job' to education and I worked as a mobile therapist, visiting clients in their own homes and 'pop up' clinics in the locality. Due to family circumstances, and an opportunity to have the use of a permanent treatment room in St Mary's Arcade, Chepstow, I made the decision in September 2016 to devote my time solely to my therapies. I have since continued my educational development by becoming certified in a number of further therapies that complement my existing qualification. Becoming a medically certified Rock Doc in January 2017 has allowed me to be involved in a number of prestigious sporting events as a medical practitioner across the UK.

I offer a highly qualified multi disciplinary approach to my treatments which provide fully prescriptive plans to suit each client's specific needs. Each consultation will include a posture, mobility and medical history assessment followed by a mutually agreed treatment plan which may focus of a number of disciplines including Remedial, Swedish, Sports, Shiatsu, Acupressure and Thai Yoga Massage, Manual Therapy and Soft Tissue work as well as techniques such as Myofascial Cupping and Rock Doc medical practice. All treatments can be offered as part of your prescriptive treatment plan or as a stand alone treatments.

I take great pride in my work and am able to see clients of all ages, men and women including babies and pregnant ladies. I have an advanced DBS disclosure and am fully insured. I endeavour to ensure that my therapies are accessible to those that need it most, and therefore like to maintain close links with the community and ensure that my prices are competitive. I offer discounts to public sector workers including teachers, NHS staff, Emergency Services and the Military.
