About

Meet Cheryl...

I’m a massage therapist, sewist, designer, and lifelong maker—and I’m very happy to be bringing Mod Massage back home to Kirkwood, Missouri.

​

My journey with massage began in 2007. I started my career working in a chiropractic office with runners and athletes before moving into the spa world. Both experiences taught me something different about the body, and how different services can produce similar results.

​​

In 2014, I opened my first massage business, Renew Massage, in Maplewood. Over the next several years, I built businesses in Maplewood, Kirkwood, and Ladue before eventually stepping away from massage in 2022 after too many inappropriate interactions with male clients. It got to the point where I was afraid to pick up my phone because I wasn't sure what someone would be asking me. 

​

I spent the next chapter focusing on my sewing and fashion design business—something I've loved since I was eight years old.

​

After a 2 year healing period, I returned to massage in 2024, I knew I didn't want to simply recreate what I had done before. I wanted to build something more intentional. Something that people could turn to not only when their backs hurt, but when their hearts and minds needed a break too. Something that every client to curate themselves into their perfect session.

​

That became Mod Massage.

​

Today, Mod Massage is a space centered around women, thoughtful touch, and the many ways our bodies change throughout our lives. Because women's bodies go though so much change, trauma, and neglect, I knew it had to be my focus. 

 

My massage practice is grounded in evidence-informed techniques, while my ASMR offerings explore a different side of touch through focused around mental health and escapism. 

​

Some sessions are massage. Some are ASMR. And some bring the two together in a carefully designed sensory experience.

​

I'm continually developing new offerings to support women through different seasons of life—from pregnancy and perimenopause, to recovery, stress, and simply needing a quiet place to land.

​

Welcome to Mod Massage. A place to slow down, be cared for, and experience something beautiful.
