Fran Archibald
Remedial Massage Therapist
Over the last few years, I’ve come to understand just how essential self-care is. It’s more than just a luxury — it’s an intentional act of filling your cup, done consistently and without guilt or explanation.
My own journey with mental health has shown me the power of taking time for yourself. Through massage and energy therapies, we can ease physical tension, support muscle recovery, and create a sense of deep inner peace and relaxation.
Healing starts from within. It's time to relax, unwind, and reconnect with yourself. I’m here to support you on your path to total wellness — mind, body, and spirit.

Benefits of Massage
Pain Relief
Regular massage is a great tool for pain management. By targeting sore muscles and tension, massage relieves chronic pain and improves conditions like back pain or headaches. It helps by increasing blood flow to affected areas.
Improve Circulation
Massage enhances blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues, which accelerates healing and reduces swelling.
Massage helps lower cortisol levels and increase serotonin, promoting relaxation and mental clarity. It provides a break from daily pressures, reducing overall stress levels.
Reduce Stress
Promote Better Sleep
By calming the nervous system and relieving tension, massage fosters relaxation and deeper, more restorative sleep.
Enhance Flexibility & Mobility
Loosening tight muscles and connective tissues, massage increases range of motion and supports better posture.
Improve Mental Health
Massage encourages mindfulness and a deeper awareness of the body, helping to centre the mind and promote mind-body connection
