Lead therapist
Sheree Phelps is the founder of Podium Therapies in Rhiwbina, Cardiff. With over a decade of experience, she is passionate about helping people reduce pain, recover from injury, improve movement and achieve their health and wellbeing goals through evidence-based, hands-on therapy. As one of Cardiff's most highly qualified Clinical massage therapists, Sheree holds a BTEC Level 6 Professional Diploma in Clinical & Sports massage and an ITEC Level 5 Diploma in Sports massage. She has continued to develop her expertise through advanced training in Myofascial Release, Scar Therapy, Dry Needling, Joint Mobilisation, Oncology Massage, Sports Taping & Strapping and other specialist rehabilitation techniques, ensuring every treatment is tailored to the individual. Before becoming a therapist, Sheree proudly represented Team England and Team GB in Olympic rifle shooting, competing at European Championships, World Cups and two Commonwealth Games. Her elite sporting background has given her a unique understanding of injury, recovery and performance, leading to therapist roles at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Polyclinic and with Team Wales at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Sheree has also had her clinical Parkinson's research published in the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder medical journals, the International Therapist Magazine and the Massage World journal, reflecting her commitment to continual learning and evidence-based practice. Whether you're an elite athlete, an active individual, recovering from surgery, managing persistent pain or simply looking to relax, Sheree's approach is always the same—take the time to understand your needs, making you feel listened to and heard, before creating a personalised treatment plan to help you move better, feel better and live better.
"Whether you're in pain, recovering from injury or simply need time to switch off, my aim is always the same—to ensure you feel listened to, heard and supported every step of the way. I love working with people from all walks of life, from children as young as seven to clients in their nineties. Every person is unique, which is why I'm always learning, evolving and expanding my knowledge, so I can provide the very best care and help every client achieve their own goals."
Monêt Bradshaw-Brown
Sports massage therapist
Monêt is passionate about helping people feel, move and live better through personalised, hands-on care. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing everyday aches and pains, improving sporting performance or simply taking time to look after yourself, she aims to create a calm, welcoming environment where you feel listened to, understood and supported. Having competed in rugby union at club, regional and national level, Monêt understands the physical and mental demands that sport can place on the body. Her own experiences have shaped her belief that looking after your body shouldn't start when pain appears – it should be part of helping you continue doing the things you love for years to come. Every treatment is tailored to the individual, taking the time to understand your goals, lifestyle and how your body is responding on the day. Alongside hands-on treatment, Monêt enjoys helping clients understand their bodies, offering practical advice and support so they leave feeling confident, informed and cared for. Passionate about continual learning, Monêt is currently studying towards an integrated Master's degree, further developing her knowledge of anatomy, rehabilitation and person-centred care. She is committed to providing evidence-based treatment that evolves with the latest research, ensuring every client receives the highest standard of care.
"Pain may be the reason someone walks through the door, but it doesn't have to define where they go next. My role isn't simply to help you feel better today - it's to help you regain confidence in your body, understand how it responds, and support you in making choices that protect the life you want to live."
Kymm O'Conner CRM5 Dip, MAR, CNHC
Clinical Reflexologist
After almost 40 years of nursing, the last 17 years as a specialist transplant nurse, Kymm wanted to find a way to continue helping people improve their health, wellbeing and quality of life in retirement. The inspiration came from watching her mum, who had lived with osteoarthritis and longstanding back pain for many years, walk out of a reflexology appointment standing taller and moving more freely than Kymm had seen in a long time. Curious to understand what had made such a difference, she spoke with the reflexologist and discovered Duopody™ Reflexology. The more she learnt about this clinical approach to reflexology, the more passionate she became. She enrolled on the Level 5 Diploma in Practitioner Reflexology at Inspira Academy, graduating with a Distinction and beginning a new chapter doing what she loves most - supporting others. Kymm's nursing career has given her a wealth of experience caring for people from all walks of life, and she combines that knowledge with her clinical reflexology training to provide treatments that are compassionate, personalised and centred around each individual's needs. She has a particular interest in supporting clients with stress, chronic pain, women's health, healthy ageing and improving overall wellbeing. Every appointment begins by understanding what matters most to you. Whether you're looking to ease the effects of a long-term condition, find relief from the pressures of everyday life or simply enjoy time to relax and recharge, Kymm tailors each treatment to your goals and how you're feeling on the day. She believes that good healthcare is about more than treating symptoms - it's about listening, building trust and helping people feel empowered to take an active role in their own wellbeing. Kymm is passionate about creating a calm, welcoming environment where every client feels cared for, supported and leaves feeling more balanced than when they arrived.
I believe true wellbeing begins when people feel listened to, cared for and supported. My goal is to create a calm, nurturing space where every client can relax, restore and take positive steps towards better health.
