What people are saying...

"Intensely soothing and therapeutic, Peace in the Valley is my private sanctum of relaxation. This is the most effective relief I have found from the aches, pains and stresses of daily life. I feel rejuvenated from every treatment. Best ninety minutes of my month."
~CHIP T.
"I found the massage refreshingly different. The way she moved my limbs around to work on them was a way I'd never felt before and was so intuitive. Her back work is also remarkably different than normal back work. The private cottage used only for her body work is private, warm and respectful. She infused great techniques with spiritual elements without even talking. The prices are the best I've found in Nevada County."

“As a Chiropractor for 34 years & a massage therapist for 40 years, I am very selective regarding massage therapists. Cheryl is outstanding - strong and intuitive, thorough and deeply relaxing. Highest quality person and therapist!"
~KAREN B.
"Cheryl is an intuitive, kind, and gentle provider that truly gets to the heart of your pain or discomfort. She continues to amaze me with her knowledge and ability to adjust styles, modalities, and pressure based on my body's specific needs. She is both perfect for new massage clients who are unsure of their needs as well as 'old-hats' who have more specific expectations of a massage session. I trust Cheryl's healing hands and heart. I am highly confident in recommending her."
~VEO K.
"I have been going to Cheryl for about 6 months now. I thought being 70 that I was never going to have a massage. But when my wife started going to Cheryl I was intrigued. I have had back problems most of my life. From my first visit I felt improvement. Now I look forward to getting pampered , refreshed and relaxed. It is truly a wonderful experience."
~CRAIG B.
"To get a massage by Cheryl at Peace in the Valley is truly an amazing experience. The care and attention to detail that she gives you is by far the best experience you will have. She is intuitive to what areas you are tense in, what areas need extra work yet providing an atmosphere of relaxation, rejuvenation and complete calm. It is clearly evident that Cheryl has taken the time to hone her craft so that she can provide the best experience to her guests. I cannot recommend her enough!"
~DEANNA T.
"My husband and I have made a priority to get massages regularly. Needless to say, we have had a wide range of experiences, from studios where therapists were required to upsell the client with products at each visit, to irregular, changeable pricing and even massage sessions that left us feeling worse than when we started. Cheryl absolutely has provided the best body work we have ever received. Her knowledge, skill level and attention to our unique physical challenges results in the most consistently therapeutic and deeply relaxing massages. Our experience at Peace in the Valley Massage is an irreplaceable component of our self-care."
~TITUS D. & DEBBIE D.
"Years of competitive bike racing and mountain safety ski resort injuries have led to chronic daily pain that was at times debilitating. Cheryl played a very big part in my healing and rehabilitation post-rotator cuff surgery. I think the magic is more around her understanding of connectedness within the body, and listening and caring for her clients. On more than one occasion, I came in with such extreme pain it was mentally debilitating, and left feeling completely restored and fresh for a great adventurous day."
~PENNY C.
"I'm 58 years old and this was my first massage. I was very nervous at first. Cheryl has a great way of making you feel relaxed with a relaxing atmosphere. Cheryl is conscious of your needs and will concentrate on the areas you want to be worked on. My overall experience with Cheryl was amazing. I've been back several times since."
~MARK M.
"I truly enjoy and look forward to my sessions with Cheryl. I have received multiple massages from her and am never disappointed. She is excellent at making sure you’re comfortable and creates a relaxing and peaceful environment. I highly recommend her!”
~CHRISTIAN E.
"When I go in for a massage with Cheryl at Peace in the Valley Massage, I feel safe, and I feel that my needs are respected. Cheryl has cultivated the most peaceful and serene massage therapy environment. She is skilled in targeting problem areas of the body, but she can also provide a full-body massage that leaves one feeling rejuvenated and more connected to one's body. Cheryl does not neglect any of the small but important elements of a restful massage experience - aromatherapy, soothing music, comfortable room temperature, and, of course, a massage therapist who is a good listener! I always leave healthier and in an improved mental space. I highly recommend Peace in the Valley Massage."
~MICHELLE D.
Cheryl is an amazing massage therapist! She is warm and friendly and always makes me feel comfortable during the entire session. She listens to what I’m experiencing with my body and then works on those specific areas. She also gives me some stretches I could do to help relax the muscles to aid in recovery. Her massage space is warm and comfortable. The soft music enhances the environment and encourages relaxation. I strongly recommend Cheryl as a massage therapist. She is truly gifted! 
~LEAH M.
"An hour in heaven is what I feel when I leave my massage. Cheryl is one of the most effective massage therapist I’ve ever been to. Her approach is specific to my needs in my lower back and neck while providing an ambiance to lay down my stresses and be present with the relaxing techniques she offers. Cheryl brings peace to the massage table that leaves me feeling better mentally and physically! Thank you, Cheryl! I look forward to my next massage."
~CRYSTAL M.
"I experienced an hour massage with Cheryl and when she was done, I could not have felt more satisfied. From my neck literally to the tips of my toes she was able to provide the appropriate pressure, sensitive to my needs, asking questions re: pressure points, reminding me to breathe. The music created a peaceful atmosphere that was very calming. Cheryl is warm, inviting and intuitive. I would come to her every week if I could! I'm beyond thankful for her gift!"
~LESLIE F.
"So happy to share the great benefits of having a massage with Cheryl. I have been seeing her for nearly a year and have really benefited from her care. I have suffered from sciatica for five years. Nothing has brought me greater relief than having a massage every six weeks. I highly encourage others when they share their pain issues with me to try massage. Cheryl is very skilled, listens to what is causing pain and makes me feel so much better. Don't hesitate to give her a try and experience real pain relief."
