Therapist praises “beautiful energy” of new Knaresborough home

A therapist from Harrogate has relocated to Knaresborough to join its “thriving” business scene.

Karen Smith of The Balance Smith has taken new treatment space at the Town House in Jockey Lane.

From there, she is offering advanced clinical massage, clinical reflexology and scar release, helping clients to reduce pain, improve function and relieve stress.

She said:

“There is a beautiful energy here in Knaresborough and a thriving independent business community.

“I want to create a space to empower those wanting to take action and invest in themselves on their journey out of chronic pain and stress.”

As well as the treatment space, the new venue has a courtyard garden for post-treatment relaxation.

Ms Smith also plans to offer a series of self-care workshops in future, helping people to take more control of their health and well-being.

Belated celebration for gallery’s Harrogate opening

An art gallery has marked its opening with a celebration at its Harrogate premises — two years after it made the move.

Bils & Rye took on the premises on John Street at the rear of Hotel du vin in 2020, following eight years near the North York Moors.

Its opening was muted because of the pandemic and, after two years trading, owner Nick Bentley threw a party on Saturday afternoon.

It was an opportunity for customers old and new to discuss the work of artists from the Harrogate district and around the UK on show in the gallery. Among those represented were Erin Ward, Joanne Tinker, Jo York, Gary Canning and Robert J Wyatt.
