WHAT MAKES CHERYL A GREAT MASSAGE THERAPIST?
Cheryl believes that care and time are vital when it comes to massage. Taking the time to listen and understand people’s issues and needs and helping them overcome them to feel better physically, emotionally and mentally.
What makes Cheryl a good therapist is that she enjoys building a connection with her clients and helping them, even when they aren’t in the room. She approaches each client with a friendly manner to build trust and comfort, creating a positive relationship so that she can provide the best treatment plan and provide the most helpful advice. She is very patient and always punctual.
The philosophies Cheryl lives by are “Do no harm, assist the body to fix itself.” and “Good rapport gives good results.”
WHAT DOES CHERYL ENJOY DOING OUTSIDE OF WORK?
When Cheryl is not working, she is a sports medic for the senior men’s Redlands Rugby Union team, travelling with them to games and helping the player’s perform at their best, whether it be through massage, strapping, or dealing with past and current injuries. She also like to read, go on adventures/bushwalks, spend time with friends and go to the gym.
