Cheryl Sullivan is a graduate of the Bancroft School of Massage Therapy in Worcester, Massachusetts, one of the most respected schools for training in this profession. She has been practicing over 20 years, and is certified by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, as well as licensed to practice in state of New Hampshire.

Cheryl's massage consists of an eclectic blend of healing designed to treat the whole person on a physical, energetic, and spiritual level. Cheryl has assembled a session sequence that incorporates all these modalities, yet is always tailored to meet each individual's specific needs. Her intention is to provide a massage that is relaxing, rejuvenating, therapeutic, and most importantly appropriate for each of her clients.

On a physical level she uses Swedish massage techniques to enable the release of toxins that accumulate in the muscle tissue. The toxins are flushed out of the body via the circulatory system, whose natural activity level is increased with this type of massage therapy. Both light and deep tissue techniques are used to break up muscle adhesions (knots) that are present in the muscles for a variety of reasons. Some people (especially athletes) respond to a deeper massage using trigger-point therapy, consisting of deep pressure usually applied with the thumb to hypersensitive points within a muscle. Others (especially those that have high levels of stress in their lives), may respond to more of a nervous system relaxation approach, which is achieved with a lighter, slower massage.

On the energetic level, Cheryl uses Reike, a hands-on type of energy healing to open and balance the Chakras. Chakras are vital energy centers that metabolize universal energy much in the same way our digestive system metabolizes the food we eat. People generally find this balancing process very relaxing.

On the spiritual level, Cheryl silently uses compassionate and nurturing touch to help her clients feel more centered and at peace within themselves and in their relationships. While working with an open heart herself, her intention is to help people achieve an overall sense of connectedness to their selves, and to the universe they dwell in.

Throughout her many years of practice, the blending of these therapies has resulted in client satisfaction with people from all walks of life.
