About Cheri and Advanced Massage Solutions and Yoga in Redding, Ca
After you read this you may wish to flow on over to my approach to massage and yoga page.
Cheri received her massage therapy training from the Cortiva Institute in Seattle WA,(formally known as Brian Utting School of Massage) which has one of the toughest and highest licensing programs in the country. 16 months of massage training for over 1100 hours.
She is also a Certified Yoga Teacher and Mind/Body Awareness Guide. She also has hundreds of hours of continuing massage education and self study. She holds a B.A in Philosophy and Sociology from the University Washington.
Providing professional, therapeutic massage therapy for 12 years and teaching yoga for almost as long, Cheri’s deepest joy and passion are to help you with your stress relief, relaxation and healing. Cheri has a career of partnering with other health care practitioners like chiropractors, physical therapists and medical doctors to help her clients stay committed to their own health and wellness. Throughout her massage therapy career Cheri has worked in chiropractors offices, day spas and with medical doctors and physical therapists. This in addition to having a private massage and yoga practice in Redding, where she has lived now for over 6 years. Healing in the body is not just physical, but also emotional and spiritual and they are all linked in with each other. Cheri enjoys finding that space in herself and with others to open to grace of what area in the mind/body is ready for healing and transformation.
A feeling of healing.
By deeply listening and being attuned to you and your body Cheri creates a safe and sacred space for your massage experience. She feels that now with so much stress in our lives, it makes a difference being listened to in mind, body and spirit, as that is where we all experience deep relaxation and true healing.
A practicing yogini for 15 years, Cheri is enamored with alternative health therapies, especially mind/body medicine and healing. She uses her own body as a tool for creative expression and inner guidance. Her personal life is filled with refining ways to lovingly relate to her own mind/body. Shakti dancing, yoga, massage, meditation and regularly communing with nature keep her grounded, inspired and loving life! You may find her walking barefoot along the rivertrail or hugging trees as nature is deeply healing. Also, physical fitness and healthy eating keep Cheri in a healthy place in herself so that she can offer that to her clients, something Cheri believes is of utmost importance when being a health and wellness practitioner. This is something Cheri has had to train herself at after early years of living on sugar, soda and fast food.
In addition, anything that has to do with the deeper levels of the human body is always interesting to her. She enjoys studying and experiencing quantum physics, spirituality and the powerful mind/body connection. Most anything to do with knowing the mind/body inside and out is what Cheri has created her life for, as she is here is to help raise consciousness through her own healing and through helping others heal too. She loves learning anything that brings her closer to a divine understanding that there is more to our human experience than meets the regular eye. Massage and Yoga are more than many people realize and she loves teaching that to the all the wonderful people in Redding and beyond. We can massage ourselves with our minds through awareness and this is true yoga on a deeper level and healing massage therapy for yourself at the deepest sense.
Cheri believes God gave us a body for us to enjoy being in it. Her philosophy when she teaches yoga(and with massage too) is simply bringing people into their bodies powerfully focused on their own unwinding, relaxation, healing.
Cheri has advanced training in communication, coaching and leadership skills through the amazing self empowerment company called Landmark Education. These enlightening workshops were pinnacle in teaching her skills and techniques to get her into a powerful place within herself. Because of these workshops she has personally coached women and men into stepping into their own inner power and love.
She has also attended other self empowerment programs called The Millionaire Mind and Enlightened Warrior training through Peak Potentials. These once again were designed to help her step into a powerful inner place so her inner being is fully self expressed and realized in the now...in this life. Something, Cheri believes inner love is something we all have access to in every moment.

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret
From The Secret Daily Teachings When you ask for happiness and a beautiful life, ask not just for you, but for everyone. When you ask for something better, ask not just for you, but for everyone. By all means ask for abundance and health for you, but also ask for it to be given to everyone.
Can you imagine what would happen if six billion people asked for these things for you? May the joy be with you,

A favorite poem of mine by Mary Oliver
A Song of the Builders
On a summer morning
I sat down
on a hillside
to think about God -
...
a worthy pastime.
Near me, I saw
a single cricket;
it was moving the grains of the hillside
this way and that way.
How great was its energy,
how humble its effort.
Let us hope
it will always be like this,
each of us going on
in our inexplicable ways
building the universe.
