BIO
After ten years as a secondary school teacher, Cheli’s passion for learning led her to discover a new vocation in massage therapy. She has since honed her therapeutic skills by treating sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions as well as supporting clients in achieving physical and emotional wellbeing at the Royal Ballet School, London Contemporary Dance School, women’s health clinic and wellness centres across London. These varied professional experiences inform her person-centred therapeutic approach, rooted in active listening.
Cheli’s aim is to create a safe space for every client to reconnect with their body and mind, supporting them in their journey through collaboration and positive, therapeutic touch. She works paying especial attention to regulating the nervous system and steering away from the “no pain, no gain” mindset. In addition, Cheli is a Red School certified Menstruality Mentor and is steeped in her own personal cycle awareness practices, where embracing the 1% shift allows small moves to lead to big changes.
When not in the treatment room, you can find Cheli doing yoga and Pilates, singing in a choir or flying south to spend time with family and friends.

FAVORITE AREA TO TREAT
The body as a whole, not just the symptomatic areas, but looking for the root of chronic pain. New or old scars. Stress management.
