A 'fully inclusive wellness space' is officially opening in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, this Friday and owners have said it will be a hub for local businesses and inclusive therapists as well as a safe space for people to pop in for a coffee and a chat. The brightly-painted shop on the busy West End in Llanelli is already attracting attention from locals and will offer massage and other holistic therapies, serve coffee and sell products from local Welsh businesses.
The wellness space is run by Llanelli residents Carla Adele Shepherd, 32, and her partner Jay Harley Rees, 25, who both grew up on the same street in Llanelli and went to school together.
"We're excited to introduce this space to Llanelli and we hope it can be utilised for a whole host of things, not just massage", said Carla. "It's a queer-run business, my partner Jay is trans so it was super important to have representation here. We both grew up in the area. Small towns don't have the same kind of representation."
