Tia Cherneski is dedicated to helping clients make meaningful changes in their health and in their life. With over 30 years of experience in the healing profession, she has accumulated not only a wealth of education and hands-on expertise; but has also gained a deep understanding of what truly facilitates healing. She draws extensively on the John Barnes Myofascial Release Approach (MFR) and Upledger Craniosacral Therapy (CST) which are central to her work. She specializes in these modalities because of their profound results and lasting benefits. Through her work with countless individuals, she has witnessed firsthand how these modalities not only alleviate symptoms but also address the root causes of pain, resulting in lasting and transformative healing.
Tia views her work as a partnership with her clients, taking the time to listen attentively to both their words and their bodies. She understands that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, as clients come to her for a wide range of reasons—from acute pain or recent injuries to chronic discomfort or a desire for overall wellness and balance.
While the immediate concern often serves as a starting point, she recognizes that deeper patterns—shaped by life experiences, stress, or past trauma—can also influence the body’s condition. By addressing both present concerns and underlying factors, she supports her clients in achieving meaningful and lasting outcomes. Through this individualized and holistic approach, she helps each person enhance their health and overall well-being.
