Mind Body Movement

Cheryl is extremely knowledgeable and explains the concepts and movements of somatics in a way that is thorough, yet easy to follow. The sessions have helped immensely and after suffering with years of lower back issues and generally feeling a bit 'wonky', I am now able to move much more freely and without pain!

Cheryl is a dedicated, talented, enthusiastic, patient, enquiring practitioner. The somatic approach requires patience in the user too, so her example - and her pain history - are just what you need to explore your brain's power to get you moving smoothly and freely.

Having suffering from neck ,shoulder and arm pain for many years a friend recommended Cheryl to me. After 6 one on one sessions my neck and shoulders responded well to the techniques Cheryl taught me. Now 6 weeks later and regularly doing the exercises , my arm has regained full movement. Cheryl teaches you to help yourself and is clearly passionate about what she does. Thanks for helping me to mend myself.

I have a 28-year history of back problems, ranging from a herniated disc, Psoas muscle spasms, sciatica, chronic hip and back pain, altered sensation due to nerve damage. Cheryl works closely with you in both a hands-on practical manner, but also educating you about your body/ condition and teaching you to look holistically at your welfare. Stressful responses can have a huge impact and learning how to deal with them, is equally as powerful as using physical movement to help with conditions and pain relief. The knowledge that these movements can be so small, but the effect so huge has been mind-blowing. With Cheryls help, Ive learnt to have a greater insight into my body, Ive learnt a range of movements/exercises I can utilise, which allow me to help myself. What Cheryl has given me is freedom, an ability to trust my back again, the capacity not to fall back into panic mode, when I do have pain and most importantly, a tool kit of solutions that allow me to help myself, when those situations occur again. Im not nave to believe that me and my back wont have issues again, but I have gained more confidence, I have more control over both my emotional and physical responses to those issues. I have completed a package with Cheryl of eight 1:1 Somatic sessions and I am delighted with all I have achieved and learnt. I also have the knowledge that I can call upon Cheryl for further treatment or education if I need it. This has been a precious experience and Id recommend it to anyone with long term/ chronic conditions associated with pain. Thank you Cheryl, I appreciate so much all you have done for me.
