Client Testimonials
“Today, I had a wonderful aromatherapy massage with Ri. Such professionalism, such warmth, such care in a lovely room. Her technique, skill and understanding of the human body made me feel relaxed & energised and relieved pain. I booked my next session straight away!.”
Client SA“So happy to be Ri's 1st Grangetown client this evening. Amazing treatment. I highly recommend.”
Client DTM“I booked a session feeling tired and in need of some TLC. Ri is experienced and knew exactly what I needed to feel refreshed - she also recommended more self-care ideas for beyond our session. I have had more sessions since. I highly recommend her as a skilled professional. You will really benefit from her treatments. 5 Stars.”
Client AOS“The holistic aromatherapy massage I received, along with the reflexology, was truly the most beneficial & technically skilled massage I have ever experienced. The reflexology was so caringly and tenderly administered - every touch felt both purposeful & deeply nurturing. Ri gets right to the root of the matter, taking the time to enquire sensitively about my needs and intuitively choosing the perfect oils for me. That's it now - she's the one!”
Client PJ“After giving birth to twins by c-section, three months on felt like the perfect time for a gentle yet much needed uplifting massage with Ri. From the moment I arrived, she made me feel completely at ease. The calm of the treatment room and the beautiful aroma in the air instantly helped me relax. Ri's caring, intuitive touch was exactly what my body & mind needed during this stage of recovery. The massage was soothing, restorative and deeply nurturing - I left feeling lighter, calmer and truly renewed.”
Client ET“With a demanding job that often leaves me with backache & tension, my massages with Ri have become an essential part of my self-care. She has an incredible ability to find exactly where the stress sits and know how to release it with both skill and sensitivity. The combination of her intuitive touch, calming presence and the soothing aromas in her treatment room make every session deeply restorative. I always leave feeling balanced, relaxed and ready to face the week again.”
Client JD“I went to Ri a little unsure about the aromatherapy element but I had tried massage before. The whole experience was far better than I had expected and had clearly been more tense & unwell than I realised! I ended up as a repeat visitor and even fell asleep at the end of a treatment. Everything was explained carefully, it was deeply relaxing and Ri is a fantastic practitioner.”
Client SF“Having treatments with Ri was a godsend. I was so stressed and it was all in my neck & shoulders. After three sessions, I could feel the tension lifting from my body. It has been so much better ever since. I think it may well be down to the treatment but also the knowledge that Ri shares with you about how we hold stress and how it manifests physically. Having this information helps keep my stress and tension at bay. She should be on prescription!”
Client GS“I had 4 treatments of reflexology with Ri in late 2024 at a stressful time. The treatment room was very clean, welcoming and calming with lovely, relaxing music and scents. Ri was always so supportive and empathetic when I discussed my life & health issues, especially endometriosis that I had the reflexology for. She was very knowledgeable and seemed to have lots of expertise in any symptoms I discussed and what would be the best oils and techniques to use to improve them. She knew lots about different types of holistic therapy, such as aromatherapy and different massage styles and techniques. Ri put me at ease and was very easy to talk to as our sessions were always lovely and informal, though she was always professional and respected my dignity at all times. She provided a tailored plan for my individual symptoms that helped over a difficult Christmas period and reduced my stress levels a great deal. I felt so much better after each treatment, leaving the room feeling relaxed, energised and able to deal with the problems I had. I would really recommend Ri as a fantastic reflexologist!”
Client GH“I've been seeing Ri for reflexology sessions to help manage my endometriosis symptoms and the difference has been incredible. She's knowledgeable, attentive and truly takes the time to understand what my body needs in each session. Her space is calming, her technique is amazing and I always leave feeling lighter, more balanced and with noticeably reduced discomfort. Ri is compassionate, professional and genuinely cares about her clients' wellbeing. I'm so grateful to have found her - highly recommend ★★★★★.”
Client BJ“Ri's approach to everything starts with empathy & gentleness. Her effective treatments start the minute you walk into the room: she's open, warm and welcoming, a dedicated practitioner and a good listener. You can expect to leave considerably more relaxed and calmer than when you enter and starting to feel better too.”
