About Me

  Hello!

My name is Cherri Ann Matthews. I am a fully qualified and insured Holistic Therapist, Complementary and Holistic Therapy Lecturer, Reiki Master and Reiki Teacher, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner and EFT Practitioner Trainer.

I am a Part-time Lecturer at New College, Swindon, where I teach various weekend, day and evening holistic and complimentary therapy courses in Adult Education. Through New College I also teach in the community at various community, housing and family projects throughout Swindon.  I will also be teaching similar adult education courses at Swindon College, North Star Avenue, Swindon, from January 2009.

I run my private practice from my fully-fitted treatment room in Sparcells, West Swindon, Wiltshire, where I also run a variety of Reiki courses and mind-body-spirit workshops (please click on the icons on the left for details).

I am able to run Stress Management, Emotional Freedom Technique for Peak Performance and Meditation and Visualisation for Creative Personnel Workshops for companies and social groups.  I am also well known locally as a guest speaker, providing fun, lively and often 'hands-on' talks on a variety of holistic and mind-body-spirit topics.  Please email me on cherrimatthews@btinternet.com for a full list of the topics that I can offer you or request a full list of all guest speakers in the local area from the Swindon Information Centre.

I am a Member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists, a Fellow of the International Council of Holistic Therapists, a Member of the Association of Therapy Lecturers and a Member of the Institute for Learning.  However, I think my main qualifications are experience, being down to earth, having a sense of humour, loving what I do and having a genuine empathy with my clients and students. 

As well as my therapy qualifications, I also hold a City & Guilds 7302 in teaching, a City & Guilds 7407 Level 4 Certificate in Further Education Teaching (Stages 1 and 2) and a Level 5 Certificate in Post Compulsory Education (PGCE Cert. Ed).

My philosophy is simple - "Be kind to yourself!"

I truly believe that we should not go through life being in physical or emotional pain of any kind if we can help it. We deserve more for ourselves. Unfortunately it is unavoidable from time to time.  Having a holistic therapy treatment, or course of treatments, is about respecting and taking care of yourself at a very basic level.  It is a step in the right direction to being kind to yourself. 

If you are pro-active in keeping your mind and body relaxed, balanced and in the best condition you can manage, you are taking your own preventative measures for the future. Looking after yourself adds to the 'feel-good' factor - because you are actively contributing to your own well-being!

So, whether you are suffering trying to give up smoking or need to heal past, present or future emotional trauma; need help with stress levels or just want to relax with an Indian Head Massage, I am here to help you.

For me my clients come first - you will always be made to feel comfortable, welcome and are never rushed.  I believe that as everyone is an individual, every client deserves an individual approach to their healing. Therefore, treatment sessions are always specifically tailored to meet the needs of each individual client.

And I know my therapies work, because I use them on myself - that's how I discovered them in the first place!

So remember, be kind to yourself - you do deserve it
