Meet Che.

I am passionate about helping others, and have spent the last 15 years working as a Wellness coach and Professional trainer. I believe that everyone’s experience, including mine, is unique and valid.

My special interest area is Wellness ‐ specifically Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and The Meridian System, and how they provide a simple and solid foundation for personal health optimisation.

Based in the Forest of Dean, I balance my work with time in nature, my family and friends, music festivals, meditation retreats, and travelling around the World experiencing other cultures.

Acumassage.

Acumassage is gentle, focused bodywork guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the Meridian System. Meridians run through the body’s myofascial web (the inner “skin” wrapping muscles, ligaments, organs, and bone). By combining acupressure with therapeutic massage, we encourage healthy Meridian flow and ease restrictions in the fascia—helping the whole system settle and rebalance.

This approach can support both the physical and the felt: releasing tightness and aches, reducing stress reactivity, and restoring a steadier baseline for sleep, mood, and everyday energy. Because it works with the body as an integrated whole, Acumassage offers a truly holistic way to move from “stuck” to more ease.

Author.

Che specialises in making complex things simple.  After years studying the Meridian System, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), she developed a new way to explain it that people can actually use in daily life. Her forthcoming book, The Four Functions Framework, turns the “lines and squiggles” into a clear, memorable map, so practitioners and curious readers can understand, remember, and work with the Meridians without needing decades of study.

The Meridian System can feel impenetrable at first glance, with hundreds of named points and multiple schools of thought. Che’s framework offers a friendly “way in,” rooted in fascia-aware anatomy and classic TCM principles. It breaks the Meridian System into four core functions, creating a solid central scaffold, from which your own exploration and knowledge can grow.

Readers learn to quickly locate and name the key meridians, recognise pivotal points, and apply simple combinations for everyday wellbeing.

Trainer.

Che offers training in Acumassage and the Four Functions Framework to both other practitioners, and to anyone wanting to simply help themselves and their loved ones.  Making Acupressure and Acumassage accessible to everyone is one of Che’s key goals.  Previous training was well received, and more available from Spring 2026.

Che also trains groups and teams from organisations in Workplace Wellness. Having spent 15 years in the Corporate World as a senior manager, Che is well placed to understand the pressures of work, and training is practical, calm, and immediately useful, based on the same training provided to the Emergency Services.

Sessions are bespoke, and can be delivered in three ways—at carefully selected venues in the Forest of Dean, at premises of your choosing, or online via Teams/Zoom.

Simple really.

Che's Testimonials

The guidance Che is giving us is invaluable. We have gone from being at each other's throats to being more in love than ever before in a very short amount of time. Che finds the balance between active listening and coaching, which means we both have our say and feel heard, but we are also actively making changes!

I have had some tumultuous times over the past few years. I’ve found Che to be a superb coach and problem solver, always managing to come up with different ways of looking at things and really practical solutions.
Sally T
AMAZING day thank you so much! So much lovely energy and I feel a massive shift has already happened for me.

Excellent. Beautiful, peaceful location. Che is an excellent teacher and has made me want to explore these topics further.
Holly S
Your work is ground-breaking for our sector. I wish you every success and will be recommending you to several organisations over the coming weeks.
Jenny K
I have been working in the field of EDI for getting on for 27 years and that was one of the best sessions I've ever been to.
Layla E
Che created a safe and welcoming space where everyone felt comfortable expressing themselves and asking questions.
Andrew J
Your session was THE best on this topic that I have seen, and has moved my understanding on in a step change quantum.
Felix N
I gained so much from completing this course. It gave an explanation of 'why' stress occurs and what is 'going on', as well as providing some immediately useable tools to reduce the effects of stress. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone wanting to manage their stress levels and improve their health and wellbeing.
Simon H
The feedback from the 100 attendees was brilliant - the session was enlightening, engaging and educational. Staff have requested to have Che come back again!
Sarah C
The effects of stress on staff performance in my previous role were very evident to me and cost us a lot in time and money (with several staff off work with stress for weeks on end). This course would have given us a common language and way to address it.
Jane F
Opted for 1.5 hours Deep Tissue Massage: have experienced some v good therapists in past (including in Sweden & California) but this exceeded all. Post-treatment felt utter bliss which has carried through several days now - including some of the best sleep in many a nights. Would recommend unreservedly
Peter B
One of the best massages EVER. I’m a difficult client due to hyperesthesia of the right side of my back, but Che adjusted her treatment and worked with me constantly to check how I was coping. We focussed on my neck and shoulders and it was a very thorough experience. Highly recommended!
Juliet M
During a recent crisis in my life, I ended up having to take some time off work. I had hit a wall and Che lifted me up and over it. Che’s sessions helped me map out my thoughts and get to the root of my problems. She was able to clear a path for me to process many issues and I knew what I needed to do. I highly recommend Che’s coaching if you find yourself at a crisis point. Michael R

Working with Che has been life changing. I’ve been having life coaching sessions (over Zoom) for several months, which have been immensely helpful in getting me through an incredibly difficult time. She has helped me help myself. Che really takes the time to invest in her clients, she is caring, empathetic, warm, insightful and has a real knack of making you feel comfortable, supporting your journey with zero judgement. I HIGHLY recommend Che for anyone thinking of coaching of any sort
