DEEP TISSUE BODYWORK AND MASSAGE

Cherie is regarded and qualified as not just a Massage Therapist, but a Bodyworker. With over 35 years experience, she is passionate about Bodywork, specifically for pre and post surgery, injury prevention and recovery. Every session is aimed at bringing comfort and balance to the body.

What’s the difference between bodywork and massage?

Massage is generally for relaxation, or addressing specific muscular conditions. 

Bodywork addresses specific issues such as:

• Posture
• Flexibility
• Chronic and acute pain
• Scar tissue tethering
• Trigger points

With little to no use of oils, lotions, or even being undressed.

Dependant on your condition, history and pain, Cherie will incorporate the following Bodywork techniques if needed to tailor the treatment to your specific needs:

• Shiatsu
Zero Balance
• Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST)
• Alexander or Feldenkrais techniques
• Somassage® Neuromuscular Therapy
• Myofascial Release (MFR) or Myofascial Induction Therapy (MIT)
• Reiki
• Hot stones
• Reflexology

Plus many other therapies can be used interchangeably.

Modern Bodywork is primarily based on Rolfing, Hellerwork - based on Rolfing, and Soma - drawn from both but with a more wholeness approach, are all examples of Structural Integration Therapy.

What makes Cherie's work different?

Not only is Cherie in love with her practice, she is continually refreshing her knowledge, techniques and styles. Cherie's ethos is that this is work that you do together, for your body to be able to feel a greater state of balance, to then kickstart your own selfcare routine. Reiki - the energy healing therapy - always underlays whatever type of therapy Cherie practises – her clients always say that she has "magic hands"!

Cherie is not a fan of the no pain, no gain philosophy. She believes that there may be discomfort involved in releasing old adhesions/scar tissue, or lengthening a tight/shortened muscle or tendon; but it can be done slowly, with sensitivity to create a positive touch reinforcement that resets the painful area.

Intuitive Bodywork

Both Cherie's Deep Tissue Body work and Intuitive Bodywork sessions begin by bringing your mind out of your busy headspace and the body into deep comfort. To do so, a combination of Trager® work, Zero Balancing, CST techniques are used to calm the sympathetic and para sympathetic nervous system.

The information your body transmits will inform Cherie on where to go, how much pressure to use, where to stop, when to hold or create space, when to move on and when to return. It’s all there. Your own personal 3 D primer. Cherie uses techniques such as Dreamwork, including Jungian Archetypes and Belief Relief therapy to work out just what your lower back is saying to you, or how you really feel about that new job offer/ cross country move. Real results in an hour. No Psychology or counselling, just talk about what’s going on, and what you want to do about it right now. It maybe all you just need to change  your mind and even change your life!
