Testimonials :
"Cherllisha, I just wish to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU. After my massage 2 weeks ago, I have had full-night sleeps without ANY right shoulder pain ... that has plagued me every night ... for 15 years!"
Lynda Eichler
" ABSOLUTE BLISS!!! is about the only way I can think to describe it."
Lance Jensen, Business Coach
“Cherllisha has an amazing ability to find the exact place within a muscle that hurts, and coax the pain out to leave your muscles feeling warm and relaxed. She uses lots of towels and cushions to improve your comfort and listens to your feedback. I’ve had everyone I’ve talked to at Bodyworks recommend her”
Rachel Norton, Personal Trainer/Student
“I feel rich” (Thai Foot Massage)
Ezra Blaza Forest, Drummer
"Regular Bowen Therapy and massages with BodyWisdom are important in managing my potentially disabling neurological condition. They assist in maintaining my overall physical and mental health. The gentleness of the Bowen Technique has resulted in improvement in balance, walking distances, restoring lost energy and making daily routine decisions. Massage has been helpful for muscle weakness. The skilled and knowledgeable consultations have allowed me to develop sensitivity to my physical and mental needs and to determine my own body work requirements. Cherllisha has taken care to address changes in my condition, to consult with me about my health requirements and the related outcomes.
I continue to be very satisfied with my ongoing treatments by Cherllisha, and the related outcomes. I unreservedly recommend her professional skills and empathetic approach." Helen McGuire
