Claudia Reneè - Massage Therapy
For Women & LGBTQ+ Community 🌈
I am dedicated to holistic massage because I believe in the power of nurturing both the body and the mind. With an understanding of how stress and tension can impact overall well-being, I am passionate about helping people find relief and balance through my therapeutic touch. I find fulfilment in providing a healing experience that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
My goal is to support my clients on their journey to wellness, guiding them towards a state of harmony and connecting them with their body, mind, and spirit.
Treatments only offered to women and LGBTQ+ community.
Benthyg Splott
Borrow - don't buy - from this Library of Things!
Benthyg Cymru is Wales’ Library of Things and has one simple goal; to make borrowing as easy as popping out for a loaf of bread.
Items available to borrow include gardening and DIY tools, camping equipment and much more, all available to borrow for less than you’d expect to pay second hand, and with the opportunity to pay in time instead of cash.
(P.S. Benthyg, pronounced ben-thig, is a Welsh word meaning borrow or lend.)
