Our story
About Steph and The Therapy Studio
One therapist, one treatment room, and eighteen years of getting to know how bodies and skin actually behave.
The Therapy Studio is run by Steph Cullen from Fir Trees Barn in Rimington, in the heart of the Ribble Valley. Steph has over eighteen years' experience in sports therapy and massage, alongside advanced aesthetic, skin and wellness treatments. She is a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists and the Cosmetic Treatments and Injectables Association, and is fully insured.
Eighteen years, and still curious
Steph's experience spans sports clubs, sporting events, the fitness industry, gyms, private clinic work, charity events, care homes, community special schools and hospice and palliative care. Established in 2007, she started out visiting clients at home for sports and massage therapy.
Since then the work has grown into a full range of sports, holistic, aesthetic and wellbeing therapies in her private Rimington studio. Every treatment gets the calm space it deserves, with no queue at the desk and no music from the next room.
Steph is genuinely passionate about her work and treats every client with confidentiality, care and attention. Everyone is different, so every treatment is tailored rather than lifted off a list.

Common questions
What happens on a first visit?
A full consultation comes first: your personal details, medical history, the reason for treatment, an assessment where needed and time for any questions. Steph explains exactly what the treatment involves before it begins. On later visits there's a short review of how you got on and then straight into treatment.
Is Steph insured and regulated?
Steph is a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists, fully insured and working to their code of ethics and professional practice, and a member of the Cosmetic Treatments and Injectables Association for the aesthetic side of the clinic.
How do I pay?
Cash before or at your appointment, or bank transfer 48 hours ahead in line with the cancellation policy. Aesthetic treatments need a non-refundable deposit to hold the appointment, with the balance settled straight after treatment.
Is everything confidential?
Yes. Your consultation notes and medical details stay between you and Steph, and photographs are only ever taken or shared with your written permission.
Is the studio accessible?
The treatment room is on the ground floor with parking directly outside. If you have particular access needs, mention them when you get in touch and Steph will talk it through with you.
