A beauty salon owner has completed specialist training to massage people with cancer after losing her mother to the disease two years ago.

Lucy Smith, who has owned Urban Beauty on Church Street in Rugby for ten years, decided to train with top oncologists in Gloucester so she could provide the service to clients in Rugby.

The 35-year-old said she had seen the effects of cancer first hand after her mum, Margaret Taylor, died aged 61.
