Tia Cherneski is committed to helping clients create meaningful change in their health, well-being, and quality of life. With over thirty 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 supports the body’s ability to heal.
Tia views her work as a partnership with her clients. She takes the time to listen both to what her clients share and to what their bodies communicate. She understands that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, and tailors each session to meet the individual where they are at.
A fascia-focused perspective is central to Tia’s work. She understands that because the fascial system is interconnected throughout the entire body, it plays a significant role in overall health and cannot be overlooked in the healing process. Tia integrates this understanding into every session, drawing on many modalities but extensively from the John Barnes Myofascial Release Approach and Upledger Craniosacral Therapy.
Clients seek Tia’s care for a wide range of concerns, including acute injuries, chronic pain, restricted movement, and persistent patterns of tension that can leave them feeling stuck. Others come with the intention of improving mobility, restoring balance, and feeling more at ease in their bodies.
While immediate concerns often bring someone in, Tia recognizes that deeper patterns shaped by life experiences, chronic stress, or past trauma can also influence the body’s condition. By addressing both present symptoms and the underlying factors that contribute to them, she supports clients in creating meaningful and lasting change.
Through this individualized and holistic approach, Tia helps each person move toward greater health, resilience and overall well-being.
