Traveling is exciting but let’s be honest, it can also be exhausting. Long flights, busy itineraries, and new beds often leave your body aching for rest. That’s where I come in.

Instead of rushing out to find a spa, I arrive with everything you need: a professional massage table, fresh linens, soothing oils, and experienced hands ready to help you relax, recover, and recharge.
My journey as a therapist began in a spa where I worked from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. long, exhausting hours that often pushed me to tears between clients. I would step into the bathroom, wipe my eyes, and remind myself that hard work pays off.
Coming from another country to make a living for myself, I believed that if I kept going, one day things would get better. But over time, the stress, the pressure from my boss, and the emotional toll became too much to carry.To anyone reading this when you go to a spa, please be kind to your therapist. Behind their calm hands and warm smile, they might be carrying so much more than you know family burdens, workplace pressures, or the simple exhaustion of giving their all every single day.
Eventually, I realized I couldn’t continue in that environment. I moved to another spa, thinking the grass would be greener but soon discovered that even synthetic grass can look lush. Still, I worked hard, learned, and grew.
Then came a lightbulb moment.
A beautiful photographer I often treated asked if I could visit her home three mornings a week for massages. Without hesitation, I said yes. I didn’t even own a massage bed at the time, but I went online, ordered one, and started the following week.
I would treat her at 8 a.m., then rush straight to my spa job. Before long, she told her friends, and another client booked me on my off days. Soon, my small circle of clients began to grow and so did my vision.
It was time to take a leap of faith. I prayed, trusted God, and left my job believing that He would guide me into a new season.
That’s how House of Shongy was born a mobile wellness business built from faith, courage, and a desire to bring healing directly to people’s homes across Cape Town.
