Hi there! I’m Cheryl - mom to 2 adult men, a massage therapist & athletic trainer, and nature lover.

Here’s the quick info: I have a PhD in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and have certifications/licenses in massage therapy, athletic training, Bowenwork, and manual lymphatic drainage. I usually take continuing education through Upledger and Barral Institutes (CranioSacral therapy and neural manipulation) and I also completed 3 mentorships - Tensegrity Medicine, Movement Rev, and Missy Bunch. Yep - I love to learn!

Being active and injuring my ankle is what led me to the sports medicine world when I was younger; however, getting sick with repeated GI issues for a LONG time caused me to explore various options for healing. Living with GI issues was/is frustrating and mind boggling. I know how crappy (pun intended) it is to live with GI issues and not be able to do things that bring joy. Navigating persistent and confusing GI symptoms in a system designed to separate conditions, I had to do something different and that’s when I found Bowenwork, then off to nerd mode I went.

Through my own long (and continuing) healing journey, I learned that there is a difference between treating the symptoms and finding cause/s and addressing the nervous system. In addition, I learned that negative scans were a blessing and a reason to find someone who looks at the body through a different or many lenses. There is so much more beyond the musculoskeletal and biochemical worlds.

Exploring bodywork modalities, learning body awareness, and working with naturopaths is what helped me the most during my healing journey. (You can find my story in my blog.)

My goal is to help you help yourself. Meaning 2 things - I am the facilitator to help your body renew its healing capacity and I offer suggestions, life style strategies, and resources for you to support your healing journey.

~All the best to you!

Cheryl

PS. Movement, sunlight, and water fill my cup!
