Cheryl graduated with a B.Sc. Physiotherapy from the University of Cape Town in 1982 . She worked locally in hospitals before moving abroad to Canada in 1989. Various adventures in the prairies followed before relocating to Vancouver in 1991.
There, she continued to train and gain experience in the musculoskeletal field and also certified as a hand therapist.
In 1996, Cheryl moved to the UK for what was meant to be a short six months. Eight years and two children later, she returned home.
Whilst in the UK, Cheryl managed a private hospital’s physiotherapy department and also trained as a Certified Pilates instructor through the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute.
In 2005 she began working with well-respected physiotherapist, Shari Rosenberg where she shaped her interest in spinal work. It is with Shari that Cheryl became interested in working with chronic pain and Mindfulness.
Cheryl eventually branched out on her own opening a studio in Constantia Cape Town. She has kept a loyal following of patients and her exercise classes have grown from strength to strength.
More recently and through personal interest, Cheryl started exploring Mindfulness Interventions and has subsequently completed a two year certification as a teacher of Mindfulness Based Intervention (MBI). This form of practice is very helpful in treating stress, anxiety and chronic pain.
In 2021 Cheryl became part of Discovery's Spinal Care Program
Cheryl comments with passion for her profession: “I believe in a multifaceted approach to healing including :
education on the function and movement of the body, mindfulness based practices; rehabilitation and hands-on treatment. Beliefs, fears and habits all need to be explored on this path to healing.
Healing occurs best in a participatory environment where the patient is guided towards healing themselves.
Cheryl is still passionate about the outdoors and can be found mountain biking across the wilds on weekends.
