# Rodrigues Relaxation > I am a blind massage therapist based in Bristol. ## Posts - [Please Donate to Life Cycle UK](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/uncategorized/please-donate-to-life-cycle-uk/): As many of you know, I’m a blind cyclist, and I’m only able to enjoy this sport thanks to the incredible support of a charity that makes cycling accessible for people like me. Live cycle UK are currently running a fundraiser, and I’d love your help. Every donation made right now will be doubled, which means your support goes twice as far. If you’re able to contribute—no matter how small—it would make a huge difference in helping others experience the freedom, confidence, and joy that cycling has given me. Thank you so much for your kindness and support. https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS000006GK2XYAW - [My strongman/women Journey](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/uncategorized/5240/): I’ve always been drawn to anything that gives me an adrenaline rush and a real challenge. So, I decided to put my strength and resilience to the test by entering the GB Disabled Strongman/Woman competition. For six months, I trained twice a week with a strongman specialist who taught me the techniques I needed to push my limits and get the best results. At the beginning of this journey, I had no idea how it would turn out—but I kept showing up, kept learning, and kept growing. And I’m incredibly proud to say that I earned bronze in my very […] - [My BBC interview about Chris McCausland](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/uncategorised/my-bbc-interview-about-chris-mccausland/): On Monday I was interviewed on BBC Radio Bristol to talk about my friend Chris winning Strictly Come Dancing! - [The new treatment room!!](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/uncategorised/the-new-treatment-room/): I am extremely excited to annnouce that my new treatment room is open for business!

The truth is – those of us sporting frozen fingers are most likely dealing with poor blood circulation. - [Another massage? Yes please!](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/journal/another-massage-yes-please/): All of the physical massage that I provide helps with circulation. However, the hot stone massage I had last week was really beneficial. The days after the treatment I felt less physically cold, generally less lethargic and my whole body felt freer and lighter. - [Hurrah - I feel so much better!](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/journal/hurrah-i-feel-much-better/): Since we last spoke, I have had two massage treatments.

Unfortunately my usual therapist is out of the country and I can really feel my body craving a treatment. - [Making the most of the Autumn Sunshine](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/journal/making-autumn-sunshine/): I have been doing a lot of walking to maximise sunshine during this time of year - getting all the Vitamin D I can. Just being in the gym doesn't always give me the fix I need. - [Getting back in to the swing of things](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/journal/getting-back-swing-things/): My routine: Now I am back from the States, to get back into the swing of things I tried two fasting days back-to-back to see if that might kick me back into my routine. I had never tried it before so was curious to see how it would work for me. My sleeping had been affected due to the time difference and that has led to me feeling hungry during the night, so I wanted to knock that on the head – sleep is so important! On the whole, the fasting days back-to-back worked in the sense that it got […] - [A change of scene, but sticking to the plan!](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/journal/change-scene-sticking-plan/): I have recently returned from competing in the Sailing World Championships in Sheboygan, 100 miles north of Chicago. We were a team of 17 including our coach, and there were four in my boat, a 23 foot sonar. It’s an Olympic class boat. We were out there for 10 days and we came second and returned with a silver medal! Being away from home and putting my body through some tough challenges I expected my energy levels to be compromised, but on the whole due to preparation and expectations I managed to cope pretty well. Drinking water – because of […] - [Water, water everywhere - I must remember to drink!](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/journal/water-water-everywhere-must-remember-drink/): As the days tick on, I seem to be learning more about myself and my general feelings of energy, what is working for me and what I need to reflect on to make different choices. One main change I have decided to do is weigh myself after the second fast day, instead of the first fast day. By doing this the weight loss is greater, therefore spurring me on that the hard work I am putting in is paying off and encouraging me to keep going! Even on days when I am not fasting, I am making different choices. For […] - [My journey so far… slightly peckish, but feeling good for it!](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/journal/my-journey-so-far-slightly-peckish/): So, my health kick-start. How is it going I hear you ask! Below, I have tried to summarise the main points that I discussed in my first blog to give you a feel for how I am finding my journey, including the highs and lows. How is the 5-2 diet going? I am still finding that the 5-2 diet is suiting and going well. The only time on the ‘2 days’ (where I consume 300 calories each day) that I am feeling hungry and rather tired is around 4pm. The chocolate is calling me, but I am resisting! I am […] - [My health and wellbeing kick start - the journey begins!](https://www.rodriguesrelaxation.co.uk/journal/my-health-and-wellbeing-kick-start/): I have decided to practise what I preach and want to make some positive lifestyle changes to improve my own health and well-being.

The mantra I intend to follow is: be kind to yourself, educate yourself about food & nutrition (I am not a nutritionist), keep exercising and understanding ‘you are what you eat’.
