Tia Cherneski is dedicated to helping clients overcome chronic pain and improve their quality of 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 discovered what works and what doesn’t. Two of the most significant healing approaches that she has embraced is John Barnes Myofascial Release Approach (MFR) and Upledger Craniosacral Therapy (CST). 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. The immediate pain or diagnosis that brings a client in for treatment is often just the surface issue. Chronic pain is often the result of a lifetime of injury, overuse, stress and trauma – factors that accumulate and impact the body over a lifetime. By addressing both immediate needs and the deeper causes of pain, Tia helps her clients navigate their journey to healing beyond just temporary fixes. Through this individualized approach, she facilitates a process that helps each person achieve improved health and well-being.
Tia enjoys working with clients of all ages who are seeking deeper healing, and she is committed to guiding each person on their journey toward a more balanced and pain-free life.
