I use techniques from a number of different therapies, according to people’s individual needs, and I’m professionally licensed in a variety of therapies, including SCAR therapy, Reiki Master, Certified SOMA Neuromuscular Integration® therapy, Scar Works® & Rejuvanessance® aka FER®* Therapy, Access Bars® and PEMF & Cryotherapy Practitioner, But I’m best known for Synergy Touch, my own style of Deep Tissue Bodywork. I describe my therapies as "Synergy Touch" both because it’s treatment + reiki energy, & because it is the synergistic state of working with the client. I’ve successfully worked with world champion athletes, including elite runners and triathlete competitors in the classic 4 Deserts, Badwater, Comrades, X-Alpine, Marathon des Sables. I regularly treat professional stage and screen actors, rock & classical musicians, international opera singers and professional dancers of all disciplines. As well as acrobats, aerialists, contortionists and equestrians competing in Western & English Pleasure. Ranch, Trail, Rodeo, Barrel racing and Reining horses. Originally from the Seattle area I moved to West London in 1991. I joined the Hogarth Group in 1999. In 2023 I decided to go global. I love horseback riding, endurance events, & anything to do with horses. Proper camping & mountain trekking, gardening, oil painting, textile arts like quilting, embroidery & creating hand painted or dyed fabrics, creating stained glass pieces, or cooking for family & friends for fun (my former profession). I also love reading, creative writing, watching all Noir genre films, and working out.

Teamwork helps my clients by bringing their body into comfort before starting the session work. Beginning with calming and syncing their sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system to bring the client out of a busy headspace & back into enjoying living in their body. This is bodywork we do together. I want my client to be able to feel what we are doing as it brings their body into a greater state of balance, with more options for easeful movement, so that they can start incorporating that into their own self-care. Often that means blending therapies or an essential oil or flower essence mix that additionally supports them in the session. Finally, Reiki always underlays whatever type of therapy I do, and it ultimately is why my clients say I have magic hands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c91fe0ccb46916f0247c22/1623867640722-GMCJE3DB834QGOJKH28R/11.jpg Bodywork vs Massage What Makes My Work Different - What is the difference between bodywork and massage? * Bodywork addresses specific issues such as posture, flexibility, chronic and acute pain, neuromuscular and fascial issues, scar tissue, adhesions, tethering and trigger points. Bodywork increases both ease and range of movement. is generally done with only enough glide medium to facilitate release over bony areas or if the client prefers, they can remain dressed and treatment is done through clothing. *Some conditions mean that only a specially qualified therapist or a therapist working under medical supervision can carry out treatments. I specialise in clinical, medical, & Neuromuscular Bodywork & Neuromuscular massage (They are not the same thing) Trigger Point (MFR) & Craniosacral. My focus is medical based, rather than for relaxation. Most massage is for relaxation, or addressing specific muscular or soft tissue conditions, such as manual lymph drainage. It is useful for softening knots and relieving and invigorating tired and sore muscles and uses lotions or oils liberally, such Swedish or Aromatherapy. https://www.cheriehowe.com/deep-tissue-bodywork daily 0.75 2023-06-08 https://www.cheriehowe.com/read-before-you-book daily 0.75 2023-06-08 https://www.cheriehowe.com/prices-times daily 0.75 2024-08-31 https://www.cheriehowe.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2023-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c91fe0ccb46916f0247c22/bf387936-4fe7-4112-98bc-1e86c31c3b56/IMG_4359.JPG What My Clients Say - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c91fe0ccb46916f0247c22/1624269538813-M2SGYHOI7OZN0P623MYQ/IMG_3218B.jpg What My Clients Say - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cheriehowe.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-06-08 https://www.cheriehowe.com/home daily 1.0 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c91fe0ccb46916f0247c22/8cb32f56-b95e-470e-9379-468c0ee4cc9a/IMG_4713%281%29.jpg Home https://www.cheriehowe.com/soma-neuromuscular-integration daily 0.75 2023-06-08 https://www.cheriehowe.com/trigger-point-therapy-myofascial-release daily 0.75 2023-09-21 https://www.cheriehowe.com/intuitive-deep-tissue-bodywork daily 0.75 2023-06-08 https://www.cheriehowe.com/other-treatments daily 0.75 2023-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c91fe0ccb46916f0247c22/1624375404372-7HZIP8FXXJPZH10R825N/2B.jpg Other Treatments - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c91fe0ccb46916f0247c22/1624376381809-EMUGT2C19VRHW808Q2F6/8.jpg Other Treatments - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c91fe0ccb46916f0247c22/1624268764573-OHV2NWQZ0141MLG50AT0/IMG_3177B.jpg Other Treatments - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cheriehowe.com/new-page daily 0.75 2021-07-05 https://www.cheriehowe.com/appointments-1 daily 0.75 2023-10-14 https://www.cheriehowe.com/equine-and-equestrian-therapies daily 0.75 2023-10-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c91fe0ccb46916f0247c22/39236ffd-9194-4e41-bfce-1cff7927b68d/PEMF-Section_Title.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c91fe0ccb46916f0247c22/128bdb59-68fd-41f2-9299-f7256c85e517/thumbnail_IMG_8635.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c91fe0ccb46916f0247c22/b7dbcea0-6333-489f-a53b-2550f170b333/PEMF+Certified+Practitioner.png
