A home-based practice in Trentham, run by Cherry Johnson, who is a registered naturopath, medical herbalist and massage therapist. The clinic is at 54 Ward Street and offers naturopathy, medical herbalism, nutrition, remedial massage and Angelic Reiki. Reflexology, scar tissue release and combined Reiki and massage sessions are also available. Initial naturopathic consultations last up to 90 minutes, and massage sessions run for 60 or 90 minutes. Liquid herbal formulas made for each person are included in naturopathic consultations. Naturopathy consultations can also be held online, so people anywhere in New Zealand can book them.
Clients have written about the work in different ways. One says a treatment plan helped them recover from chronic kidney disease. Another says massage restored their full range of movement after weights, boxing and CrossFit training, and eased desk-related tension. A third says lifestyle changes and supplements made a clear difference to perimenopause symptoms. Massage is also offered for lower back pain, anxiety and sleep during pregnancy and after birth.
Cherry is a member of NMHNZ and NZAMH and holds an advanced diploma in naturopathy and nutrition.
