Pain or feeling unwell? I’ve got you.

Total body wellness in McMurray, PA South Hills of Pittsburgh

You are built to move.

Life has a way of compressing, creating tension and pain, and introducing emotions and mind-sets that our body and mind hold.

My mission is to help you restore and revitalize the healing capacity already INSIDE you by working WITH your body. I do this using holistic, whole person bodywork and movement methods tailored to your needs.

Specifically, I can help you settle the nervous system, clean out the cellular gunk, create space in your super suit, and renew the glide and slide of your tissues so you can move more efficiently and effortlessly leading to adaptability and resiliency.

Meet Cheryl.

Going through my own low back pain and GI issues starting in the late 1990’s and continuing for decades on and off completely changed my view how the human body works and led me to take a deep learning journey in 2016. I had to explore because the conventional ways of dealing with it were not working well. I wanted to wake up and not feel stiff in my 30’s. I wanted to be able to trust a fart again. (yep - right here on my home page, it’s getting real.)

These new-ish perspectives and practices have helped my body and mind heal from the dis-ease and discomfort. Healing takes time for the body to work its marvels. There were ups and downs and many layers of the healing process, all to teach me many lessons and gain insights to the human body and mind.

I am here to create a healing space and for your body to be heard.

I offer manual therapy, gentle movement practices, information, resources, self-help strategies and the rest is up to you.

Kind Words

  • After Covid, I had pain in my ribs from coughing so much that didn’t go away for a very long time. Nothing seemed to help and everything hurt; taking deep breaths, walking/exercising, even lying down.  I tried a number of different therapies and it wasn’t until seeing Cheryl did I have immediate relief from the constant pain. I was even able to exercise and lift weights right away without the constant nagging pain. I could lay down to do chest press exercises, sit ups, etc. immediately afterwards without any pain whatsoever.  I could not believe it.  Cheryl was so gentle and she uses light touch techniques. Her method to access & pin point the source of my pain was incredibly effective.  It did just the trick!  Thank you Cheryl!  What a life saver and a blessing you are!  - SA

  • Cheryl is the best! I went to her with a lot of hip pain. She thoroughly examined my body and my symptoms and was very friendly and patient. After my appointment, I immediately noticed the level of my pain had instantly improved. I thought she did an amazing job and was very knowledgeable on the Bowen techniques. I would definitely give her a 5 star rating.

  • I have experienced a variety of massage and bodywork styles, but Cheryl has been the best fit! Her unique blend of Bowenwork, lymphatic drainage support, and other massage techniques help me relax and heal like no other approach has. I'm so thankful to have found such a trustworthy and caring practitioner.

  • Cheryl's expertise in Bowen and lymphatic massage is impressive! She has been able to relieve my back and neck pain and decrease significantly the chronic swelling in my legs. Cheryl is kind and gentle and really listens and is concerned for her patients. I was doing chiropractic treatment before but Cheryl's treatments have given me much more lasting relief. I highly recommend Lucia Health!

  • Cheryl at Lucia Health is so wonderful. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and keeps each session gentle and relaxing. I see her monthly for lymphatic drainage massages which help with inflammation, but when I casually mentioned some back pain I had been having after a bad cough, she knew exactly what to do to help - after one session my back and cough were both nearly gone. I would recommend her to anyone!

She is extremely knowledgeable about the skeletal and connective tissue systems. She is also a very caring and calming person who is very passionate about the wholistic approach to healing. I would recommend her highly.

    - Nicole

  • I have worked with many providers both medical and alternative practice to manage my complex health concerns. Cheryl is unlike any provider I have worked with. She treats my whole person, not just my body. Cheryl has a deep understanding of the intricate human system. Cheryl is kind, patient, and compassionate. She asks good questions and listens carefully to the answers, which along with her muscle/joint testing inform the treatment. She is attentive to how the body/mind react during treatment and moves treatment along accordingly. My treatments vary from visit to visit depending on how my body and mind are feeling. I've experienced Bowenwork, Craniosacral Therapy, Manual Lymph Drainage, and Myofascial Therapy under Cheryl’s gentle care. These treatments have helped bring healing for my chronic digestive issues, neck and should pain, and general anxiety. If you are ready to change your life and heal your body, reach out to Cheryl. You will not be disappointed!
