Sarah Davies Therapies

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 doesn’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.

What's your listening age?

Mine is 46, not bad, a year older then my life age. I'm happy to be stuck in the 90s. 😅

Finally, I know the genre for the music I play in clinic - Trip Hop and Drone. 🤷‍♀️

I'm not aure about listening to 217 different genres, I'd struggle to name 5!

This hit me right in the feels...

Posted by my trainning provider for Psychotherapy regarding their stance on Anti-oppressive practice.

Anti-oppressive practice means recognising oppression and working to rebalance the power dynamics, in this instance between client and therapist.

In other words, acknowledging it's the client who is the expert of their life - we as therapists are the companions who walk beside them until they get to where they want to go.

This beautiful ethos also sums up my stance as a massage therapist.

I don't think of clients coming to me to be 'fixed' they come to enter a place that allows for space, understanding, processing and healing.

Whatever is going on for you in your body or mind right now is not 'wrong', you're not broken.

The chronic pain, stress, anxiety - it's a byproduct of your environment. They are mental and physical reactions to the world you live in.

Sometimes, you can't change that environment, and sometimes, you just need a little space, or a little nudge to help you understand your environment.

And sometimes you just need space to close the door to the outside world, take off your mask and get back in touch with your body and mind. 💜

Look what a generous & talented client has handmade for me to sell at the clinic to raise money for charity!

These cute Guardian Angels come on a key hook, or mini clip to attach to zips or bags.

All she's asked for is 50% of the proceeds to go to Air Ambulance Wales, and I haven't chosen the other charity yet (I'm open to suggestions).

They come in a wide range of colours and only £1.

They'll make perfect little stocking fillers.

Thank you Cheryl Hopkins, I hope we can raise some money for you. 💜

The race is on!

After years of trying different massage mediums, looking for the right scent, glide and grip. I've finally found two both I and clients love. 😍

The one on the right is a muscle blend with Arnica, Ginger and Black Pepper to ease tight muscles and aid recovery.

The left is a relaxing blend of Frankincense, Geranium and Bergamot that engages the senses, helps with mental relaxation and smells devine!

Both of these were opened on the same day. I wonder which will run out first?

Which would you choose? 💜

I had a little health win this week at the Dr's (that's so rare for me).

Talking to the nurse during my annual check, she said:
"I can tell you go to the gym!", when I asked her how she knew? She replied: "I can see it in your blood work!" 😮

I lift because it helps me with:
💜 Low mood/ anxiety linked to perimenopause
💜 Strengthen my bones
💜 Builds my muscle, so I can keep client's muscles in check. 😉

Nobody talks about the benefits lifting has on the blood (lowering blood pressure, turns surgar into fuel & boosts white cell count). So it feels like a massive added hidden bonus.

So I'm wondering if there are other women I know who lift, either at the gym or at home, and if anyone would be interested in started a chat group?

I thought it could be a place for motivation, accountability, to share the highs, lows, gains, losses and the good recipes for hitting those protein goals.

It could also be a space for those who are looking to get started, and maybe even a buddy group for those looking for company.

I never thought I'd be a "gym bunny", but I can sure relate to the T-shirt that says "I'd rather be at the gym" 🤣

I've spoken to at least 20 clients this month about going to the gym, and I'd love to keep those conversations going. 💜

We had a lovely afternoon with Tai Chi & Tea for Menopause Awareness Month.

This time we discussed symptoms including itchy ears, (which I didnt know was connected) anxiety, the marina coil (that I'm still on the fence about).

Talking about unspoken topics with people who understand is so important.

Massive thanks to those who atteneded, Cllr Cathy Lisles - for Hawthorn & Lower Rhydfelen for organising, and Pontypridd Museum for hosting. 💜

Finding neon tape in the random aisle of Aldi means Mr Bones gets a makeover. 😅

Any ideas what I'm trying to recreate?

Hint: if you're a client, you've heard me talk about it ALL the time. 😉
