Specialist & Clinical Massage Treatments at The Retreat, Brecon
Safe, supportive care when it matters most.
At The Retreat Brecon, Donna offers a range of specialist massage therapies for people needing a gentler, more clinical approach - including those affected by cancer, pregnancy, surgery or chronic conditions.
​
As a qualified Clinical Aromatherapist and certified practitioner in specialist modalities, Donna provides personalised treatments in a safe, calming space with care, compassion and expertise.
Oncology Massage – Gentle Support During & After Cancer Treatment
£35 (35 mins) | £45 (45 mins) | £65 (60 mins)
If you’re living with cancer - or recovering from treatment - and feel that gentle, therapeutic touch could support your well-being, I warmly invite you to reach out for a personal, confidential conversation.
As a qualified oncology massage therapist, I offer safe, deeply nurturing treatments tailored to your unique needs and current health status.
Whether you’re undergoing chemotherapy, post-surgery or in remission, every session is designed with your comfort, dignity and care in mind.
This specialised form of massage is not only gentle - it is purposeful. Oncology massage can help to:
· Ease muscular tension and physical discomfort
· Calm anxiety and emotional overwhelm
· Improve sleep and restore inner calm
· Support emotional resilience and body confidence
I’m happy to collaborate with your Consultant or healthcare team if needed to ensure your treatment aligns safely with your care plan.
You deserve a place where you can feel supported - physically and emotionally. A space to soften, rest, and just be.

Pregnancy Massage – Nurturing Support for Every Stage
£35 (35 mins) | £45 (45 mins) | £55 (60 mins)
​
A soothing, tailored treatment designed just for mums-to-be.
​
Pregnancy Massage offers gentle, nurturing support from the second trimester onwards, helping you feel more comfortable, connected and cared for as your body changes.
You’ll be safely positioned - either on your side or leaning into supportive pillows - so you can fully relax while I ease the common aches and strains of pregnancy.
This calming treatment focuses on:
· Relieving back pain and muscular tension
· Soothing tired legs, feet and swollen limbs
· Encouraging deeper sleep and relaxation
· Offering space to rest, reset and bond with your baby
Every session is adapted to your needs on the day, prioritising your comfort and safety throughout.
Postnatal massage is also available when you feel ready. If you’ve had a natural birth, you can usually enjoy massage right away. After a caesarean section, it’s best to wait a few weeks until your body has begun to heal.
Whether you're preparing to welcome your little one or navigating the early days of motherhood, this is your moment to feel held, supported, and restored.
McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release® (MSTR) – Gentle, Effective Scar Therapy
£35 (35 mins) | £45 (45 mins) | £55 (60 mins)
Scars may fade, but the effects they have on the body and mind can linger.
​
McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release® (MSTR) is a gentle, specialised technique that works to soften, release, and improve the function of scar tissue - no matter how old the scar may be.
Using precise, pain-free movements, MSTR supports your body in restoring natural movement, easing discomfort and even addressing emotional blocks often held in scar tissue.
This treatment can help:
· Improve range of motion and mobility
· Ease tightness, pulling sensations or pain
· Support healthy lymphatic flow and circulation
· Realign tissue, reduce adhesions and improve skin tone
· Release stored emotional trauma associated with injury or surgery
Whether your scar is from surgery (such as C-sections, joint replacements or mastectomy), burns or injury, this therapy offers a safe and supportive way to heal; physically and emotionally.
Every session is tailored to your needs, and I’m happy to collaborate with your healthcare provider if appropriate.
This is compassionate, restorative care - from the inside out.
Every client is unique - and so is every treatment.
If you’re unsure which option is right for you, Donna is happy to chat in confidence and recommend the best support for your needs.
