Bio: Native of SW VA.  Business name inspired by  (Matthew 11:30) For my yoke is easy and my burden is light!                                             Mission to help those hurting and restore them through therapeutic relaxation massage techniques. In order to heal we must first find a quite place to relax.

Sherry felt the desire to pursue the Massage Therapy field in 2004 after working in the nursing field as a nursing assistant.  Seeing the need for an alternative to traditional western medicine for the patients that she cared for influenced her, so was prompted to help others without the aide of chemical medicine but rather healing touch and Holistic Wellness. Graduated March 2006 while building clientele in the Roanoke Valley prior to this as a student working for tips, she worked out of a small room in a hair salon called Hair 2K, then moved business to Brambleton Ave Roanoke VA for 2 years. Moved to Botetourt County soon after and opened up a private practice there until June 2015. At this time she was forced to close Roanoke studio location due to  life changes out of her control at the time. This prompted the idea to practice mobile for a season.  Sherry  made her new start in Lynchburg VA  as of 2016 and looked forward to a new venture here in that area and  helped some at smith mountain lake Huddleston va family hair care briefly, BUT A NEW DOOR OF availability OPENED for a studio at the WELL health food store in BEDFORD VA 2021 and still some local clients visit on referral base only in LYNCHBURG VA.  ITS BEEN QUITE THE JOURNEY, but the folks at the WELL are such a great group and fit for the holistic approach and view of healing, Sherry has been blessed to be there, so NOW offering  Bowen Therapy techniques  level 1 a reset technique discovered by Tom Bowen in Australia (video explains) is newest modality to become a blend of Bowen technique and Massage combined as a new specialty also known as Bowsage.
