The therapy centre opened its door in March this year on Commercial Street, Pontypool and aims to help with people’s mind and body.

Frances, a qualified therapist said: “To know you have made a positive difference to the quality of life for others is extremely rewarding.

“I feel very proud to have a growing client base with some travelling to me from Newport.

“It’s always been a passion and I’ve been driven and determined to have my own business especially expanding to take on a premises together through Covid and now with the economic crisis.
