My Story
Hello! My name is Cheryl, and I'm a massage therapist, sewist, designer, notary public, and I'm so excited about reopening my massage business in Kirkwood Missouri.
​
I began my massage education in 2007, and had no idea how much I needed massage in my life. I love helping people feel their best, or at least help people work towards feeling their absolute best. My massage treatments are focused on evidence/science based practice. I started my massage career in a chiropractors office working mostly on long distance runners and athletes, and then switched gears to work in a spa. After working for a chiropractor and in a spa, I knew neither of these places were a good fit for me.
​
In 2014, I started my first massage company Renew Massage. It was located in a yoga studio in Maplewood, and it was a really great start to discovering my path as an entrepreneur. In 2019, I left Maplewood and moved to Kirkwood, and built up a great business, only to have covid close my doors in 2020. I was unable to reopen until August 2021, and did so in Ladue. I enjoyed working in Ladue, but after a year of struggling to build a client base in an office building I decided to leave. I rented a space from a friend and immediately started building clientele again. Obviously Ladue was a wrong fit for my business. Location does matter.
​
In August 2022, I closed my doors for what I assumed would be forever. After 15 years of being a massage therapist, I had just had too many inappropriate male clients, messages, requests, comments, etc. It was overwhelming. My husband fully supported my decision to close, and thus began my journey of starting a sewing business full-time. I deeply enjoy sewing and designing, I've been sewing since I was 8 and I will never stop.
In late May 2024, I decided to reopen my massage business and offer services to female identifying persons, and stop massaging cis men, and that pretty much brings us to today. :)
​
I am currently working to develop more massage sessions geared towards trauma, depression, surgery recovery, etc. I want to use massage to help people, not just offer a luxury session.
