Cherry – Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)

Combined Decongestive Therapy Certified by the Dr. Vodder School International

Cherry’s foundation in health and wellness was established early in life through athletics, where she developed physical awareness through various sports including competitive soccer. This dedication to physical wellbeing continues today with her belief that health is a function of participation. Her routine consistently includes strength training, diverse movement practices, and whatever activities keep her body moving and engaged. She remains curious, always exploring new ways to stay strong and energized. These varied physical experiences deepen her understanding of body mechanics and human potential.

Before finding her path in massage therapy, Cherry worked in the medicinal cannabis industry for a considerable period, an experience that awakened her passion for holistic healing approaches. Working with cannabis as medicine sparked her fascination with holistic health and opened her eyes to the body’s remarkable capacity for self-healing.

Cherry’s connection to massage therapy is deeply intertwined with her Filipino heritage. In Filipino culture, there is a tradition of seeking “hilot” healers—traditional massage practitioners who combine physical therapy with spiritual healing. This ancestral connection resonated deeply with Cherry and guided her transition into massage therapy as she embodies the healing spirit of the hilot tradition.

Today, Cherry blends her diverse background in athletics, holistic health, and cultural healing traditions to provide therapeutic massage that nurtures both body and spirit. Her approach honors the body’s innate wisdom while drawing upon time-tested healing techniques to support each client’s wellness journey.

Cherry has developed a deep passion for lymphatic health—often considered the underappreciated system of the body. She has earned her certifications from the internationally recognized Dr. Vodder School. This progressive training enhances her expertise in advanced lymphatic techniques that complement her comprehensive approach to therapeutic care.

Whether supporting recovery, addressing pain, or promoting overall wellbeing, Cherry finds joy in being of service and witnessing the transformative power of therapeutic touch.
