Professional massage therapy in the heart of Cardiff

When was the last time you took some time out for yourself?

For many of us, rushing around from task to task is the norm. There’s always something on the to-do list, and we find ourselves putting everyone else’s needs above our own.

Massage therapy offers the chance to focus on your own wellbeing, even if only for an hour. While you’re on the couch, it’s your time to simply be. To reconnect with your body so you can leave feeling balanced and centred.

My aim is to create a safe and tranquil space where you can take that time to unwind and let daily stress and tension melt away.

Whether you work at a desk and experience tight shoulders, or you’re looking for the chance to quiet your mind, I’ll create a bespoke treatment tailored to your body and needs.

Take a look at the treatments on offer and get booked in.

  • "What a treat for the senses! Tansy's space looked beautiful, felt calming, and smelled wonderful. Tansy greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout my treatment. The oils felt and smelled lovely and I came away from my massage feeling calm, relaxed and rejuvenated. I will definitely be returning for another one soon!

    Jemma

  • "I had a beautiful massage with Tansy last week. She has the loveliest energy, felt really safe and the space was perfect! We had a focus on nervous system relaxation & I left feeling much more aligned! Would really recommend :)"

    Katie

  • "Exceptional massage in a very accommodating atmosphere. Tansy knew exactly where all my tension was and I left the table literally feeling lighter. Would recommend to anyone who wants to feel reset and rejuvenated."

    Kelly

  • "I’ve had two massages with Tansy (with a third booked!) and cannot recommend her or the space enough - I’ve left feeling really relaxed despite visiting in the midst of a stressful life transition period and it’s been super helpful in resetting the baseline to keep at it!"

    Mishail

  • "I have had two fantastic massages with Tansy and I will definitely be making it a regular treat. I leave feeling relaxed, stress free and ready for the day ahead."

    Kirsty

  • "I’ve had 3 massages with Tansy. I’ve got to say they are simply the best massages I’ve ever had! I have suffered with back pain for most of my life and have been to many chiropractors and massage therapists and the best relief I’ve had from my back pain has been due to Tansy and her expertise! She is very professional and knowledgeable but is also very welcoming and kind, and I’ve never felt rushed on any occasion in my appointments! I highly recommend Tansy to anyone."

    Adrian

  • “I had an amazing massage! Tansy was welcoming, professional and put me at ease from the start, I felt looked after and comfortable, and left on cloud 9. After meeting friends that evening, they said I had a ‘glow’ and asked what I’d been up to! I’d thoroughly recommend Lunasa Wellness; it’s close to Cardiff Central, easy to find, excellent value for money and I’m always keen to support independent, female owned businesses. You won’t be disappointed.”

    Rose

  • "Had a great 60 minute massage with Tansy. The place was very clean. Tansy was friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend. Thanks!"

    Dan

  • "I had an absolutely fantastic Swedish massage with Tansy. She is so friendly and really went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and at ease and I love her beautiful massage room which I found very calming. Tansy successfully worked out all the stubborn knots in my back and shoulder and she listened carefully to my focus areas and applied the perfect amount of pressure. I left feeling very relaxed and tension free and can't recommend her enough!"

Frequently asked questions

If you have any questions that aren’t answered here, please feel free to get in touch. You can message me on Instagram or email hello@lunasawellness.co.uk.

  • Swedish massage is a holistic body massage method, and is what many of us envision when we think of a classic massage.

    It involves five main techniques that come together to relax, relieve tension, and promote wellbeing:

    • Effleurage (sweeping and stroking)

    • Petrissage (kneading)

    • Tapotement (tapping and striking)

    • Frictions (deep, very targeted kneading)

    • Vibration (shaking and trembling)

      Whether you're looking for soothing and calming, stress relief, or invigoration, I'll always tailor my massage treatment to your goals, using the techniques that are best for your body and the experience you're after.

  • Absolutely. Everyone is welcome, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community are safe, affirmed, and celebrated in my massage therapy studio.

    I’m also a member of the Safe Space Alliance: https://safespacealliance.com/

  • The best way to see my availability is to check my Setmore booking system.

    Once you’ve found a treatment length and date that works for you, follow the prompts to secure the booking. A 20% deposit is required upfront, with the remainder due directly after your treatment.

  • I understand that, of course, sometimes cancellations can’t be helped. As a self-employed massage therapist, however, it’s important for me to be able to plan my schedule carefully. If it’s possible, I ask that you provide 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule, as this gives me the chance to open up the appointment to another client.

    If you can cancel your booking up to 24 hours before your appointment, you’ll get a deposit refund.

    If you cancel after this time, full payment will still be required.

  • Unfortunately, my studio is not wheelchair accessible. It is up a couple of flights of external stairs and there is no lift.

  • You can wear whatever you wish to your massage appointment, though I do recommend comfortable clothing that’s easy to take off and put on.

    For the treatment, most people undress to their underpants. However, if you feel more comfortable leaving more layers on, that is absolutely fine. My goal is for you to feel safe and comfortable.

    (Please note, underpants must stay on at all times).

  • Your boundaries will ALWAYS be respected.

    Whether you have ticklish feet or simply do not wish contact with certain areas, I will make sure to only work on the body parts you are comfortable with. Please don’t hesitate to say.

  • Your first treatment with me will include a 15-minute consultation, where we will go through your treatment goals and medical history so I can make sure I tailor my service to help you get the most from it.

    This 15 minutes won’t take away from your massage time (so if you book a 60-minute treatment, you’ll still get 60 minutes on the couch!)

    For return clients, the consultation time is shorter - we’ll just run through how you’re feeling, what you’d like from today’s treatment, and whether there are any medical updates I need to be aware of.
