My treatment methodology.

Arrive —

A calm, welcoming space where you can slow down, breathe and simply arrive as you are. No pressure. No expectations. Just space to begin.

Reconnect—

Through skilled hands-on therapy, trauma-informed bodywork and Sacred Somatic Journey®, we’ll work with your body, not against it, to ease pain, regulate your nervous system and help you reconnect with yourself.

Restore—

Whether you’re returning to sport, recovering from injury, seeking deep relaxation or exploring personal healing, each session is designed to support lasting change, helping you leave feeling lighter, calmer, stronger and more at ease.

Sacred Somatic Journey®

  • A trauma-informed blend of bodywork, breath, awareness and energy work, supporting deeper reconnection with yourself.

During a Sacred Somatic Journey®, you may experience:

  • Deep relaxation

  • Gentle movement or spontaneous body responses

  • Emotional release

  • Greater awareness of sensations within the body

  • A sense of lightness or spaciousness

  • Moments of clarity or insight

  • Increased connection with yourself

  • Deep rest and integration

There is nothing to achieve and nothing to force. Together, we simply create the conditions for your body to do what it already knows how to do.

Holistic & Restorative Massage

Slow down, release tension and allow your nervous system to rest.

Holistic Massage Can Help With:

  • poor sleep

  • general relaxation & wellbeing

  • down-regulating your nervous system

  • reduce anxiety and stress

The restorative power of regular massages can be underestimated. Many of my clients return on a regular basis for a restorative massage and love to lay back and relax in my warm and tranquil studio to relieve the stresses of work and the hectic world outside.

Many people who are going through cancer treatments find that gentle and relaxing massage helps them cope with the rigours of their treatment regime.

NOTE: Please chat with your cancer care team before booking.

Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation

As part of an evidence-based approach, I can assess and treat all manner of soft tissue and musculoskeletal issues. Helping you recover from injury, reduce pain and move with confidence

This can help with:

general aches and pains,

as well as longer-term chronic conditions, including;

  • Sporting and climbing injuries

  • Neck and shoulder pain

  • Migraines

  • Lower back pain

  • Hip, leg and foot pain

  • Reduced or poor joint mobility

I can also develop in consultation with you an ‘at-home’ rehabilitation program to aid recovery and reduce the risk of further injury.

This is Me.

Hi, I’m Simon, founder of Eryri Massage Therapies.

My journey has taken me from the mountains to the treatment room, combining over 20 years of experience teaching and leading in challenging environments with a passion for helping people reconnect with their bodies.

I’m a Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist specialising in sports therapy, injury rehabilitation and trauma-informed bodywork. My professional development includes Trauma-Informed Practitioner training, Sacred Somatic Journey® practitioner training, energy work, Tantra practitioner training, and ongoing study in nervous system regulation. Together, these have deepened my understanding of the relationship between the body, mind and emotions.

My approach is gentle, intuitive and client-led. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing persistent pain, seeking deep relaxation or exploring personal growth through Sacred Somatic Journey®, my aim is always the same, to create a safe, supportive space where you can reconnect with yourself and move towards greater ease, balance and wellbeing.

I believe the body holds incredible wisdom. Sometimes it simply needs the right environment to listen, release and restore.
