About Root of Wellness
Massage & Holistic Bodywork
Our story
Root of Wellness was born from something deeper than a career choice — it grew from a lifelong need to connect with people on a meaningful level. Not just physically, but energetically. To truly listen to what the body is holding and help it find its way back to balance.
Ryan Farrugia began his journey in October 2022, driven by a genuine passion for healing and human connection. What started as a calling quickly became a vocation. Through dedicated study and hands-on experience, Ryan built a rich set of qualifications spanning holistic massage, sports massage, lymphatic drainage, Indian head massage, cupping therapy and Reiki — each discipline adding a new layer to his ability to support the whole person, not just the symptom.
At Root of Wellness, we believe that true wellbeing goes beyond the physical. Every session is approached with intention, presence and care — creating a space where you can fully let go, restore and reconnect with yourself.
Whether you come seeking relief from tension, recovery from injury, or simply a moment of stillness in a busy life — you are in the right place.
