Better than morphine! I’ve been working with Cheryl since 2022 when I came from Raleigh for “a few weeks” because I was desperate for relief after a 14 hour back surgery in 2020 (my 5th since 2006) left me in severe pain. I made such great progress that I ended up getting an Airbnb and staying for 6 months!!. Unable to find anyone in Raleigh that could hold a candle to her, I decided to relocate to Matthews in 2023 so I could continue working with her. Her breadth of knowledge, intuition, and compassion are unparalleled. She... read more

Cheryl is highly skilled. She’s especially good at working with scars, trauma, and the nervous system. She has something like 34 years of experience. It is very rare to find a bodyworker/manual therapist with that kind of experience. In her case she has acquired very advanced skills and ways of working. You will feel seen and heard. Go for it. What do you have to lose? You will not regret trying her body based therapy.

Feel free to just come as you are and feel, or to ask questions and understand more about the work and how it's impacting you. Her modalities have expanded since my first review into Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing and Bones for Life(R)... read more

Cheryl is a true healer. She’s very gifted and knowledgeable about the mind and body. I’ve been receiving bodywork from her over the last few months and it’s definitely making a difference. You won’t regret booking a session with her!

My neck was broken in 1991 and I have a number of physical deficits. I use a walker and have paralysis on my left side more than my right side. In a few sessions, Cheryl has help me rethink my my body and my body movement. I’ve seen significant improvements over a period of just a couple months. I feel like I’ve been stuck for years in a physical limbo, and Cheryl is helping me move again. I am learning to stand up in a fluid way that takes less effort and is more efficient. I am encouraged about my physical potential for th... read more
