Cherie Harper
Certified Intuitive Massage Therapist
Cherie was born and raised in Monroe, Louisiana. She moved to Oakland, California in 1995, where she discovered the art of massage. A former co-worker gave her a gift certificate to receive her 1st massage in 2001, and the rest is history. She attended the National Holistic Institute in Emeryville, CA, and graduated in 2003.
For many years, she looked at massage as a luxury. She saw it as something that was for people who had lots of money. After she received her 1st massage in 2001, she felt as though her therapist was removing boulders from her shoulders. She knew at that moment that she was wrong. At that moment, she knew that massage was for EVERYONE! She knew that massage has benefits that remove stress, anxiety, and increase flexibility, and improves sleep to name a few. She felt relaxed and cared for! At that moment, she knew she wanted to make people feel like they had someone who would be with them for an hour to provide a space of hospitality and comfort.
