At Pilates Edmonds we offer STOTT Pilates, MELT, NeuroStrength, Original Strength along with complimentary modalities to enhance each of those disciplines. Your private session gives you the ability to focus on yourself for 55 precious and hardworking minutes with your instructor’s full attention on you. Our Studio equipment is the top of line STOTT and includes their newest V2 Max towers that allows us to modify and fit the equipment to each person’s size and strength so each exercise is producing maximum results and less stress on the joints.
There is no set protocol of required exercises. Each client is different and their exercise routine is uniquely designed for them and takes into account: body type, lifestyle, goals and life’s circumstances of health and past injuries. Most clients feel almost immediate lower back benefits from even one session. Our job as instructors is not just to “work you out” but teach you about your body and how to retrain and identify faulty movement patterns. Pilates is not just an exercise program but a new way of thinking about how you move in all areas of your life.
A typical session may include mat work, reformer work, barrels and resistance training on the tower. Often we use additional modalities such as MELT or myofascial rollers and balls to open restricted movement patterns. In private instruction we work at your pace. The training is adjusted at each session to accommodate the best choice for the body on that day with the long term goals always in mind.
We regularly work with clients who are in physical therapy or who have “graduated” from physical therapy and have a desire to continue in their physical training to remain strong in the injured area. Our goal is to always BALANCE the body in muscle development and in skeletal alignment.

Cheree
(not currently taking new clients, new consultations only)
Owner and LMT ( Licensed Massage Therapist), STOTT Pilates Instructor, MELT Method, Level 5 certified, MELT Neuro-strength certified, ANF Therapist, Original Movement Coach, Rock Tape Therapist Certified in Cupping and Taping and certified in COVID-19 prevention
Cheree is passionate about Wellness. She started her journey into this field as a broken patient who, at the age of 35, had to have back surgery for a ruptured disc in her lumbar spine and rehabilitation of the nerves that were damaged. The 5 year journey back to health inspired her to help others both as a preventative and as a rehabilitation specialist. Cheree believes knowledge is the best medicine and feels it is important to always explain the “why” to clients when choosing a therapy or a workout routine. Cheree started out rehabbing with Pilates where she discovered her calling and became a STOTT Pilates Instructor in 2006.
As new science findings began to emerge about the importance of superficial fascia and how it influences movement patterns and health leading her to study with Sue Hitzmann and become fully certified in the MELT Method and in MELT NeuroStrength, which combines fascia health and neurology to train the neuromuscular system. While studying neurology, the Original Strength Institute hit her radar and peaked her interest. Original Strength (OS) curriculum of movement is based on Infantile Neuropathways. It revisits the patterns in which we ideally learned to move with ease. The OS preparatory movements/exercises are internationally used in the CrossFit communities to prepare the body for load and movement. Cheree became a certified OS Coach in 2015.
Cheree also became a Licensed Medical Massage Therapist and is licensed in the state of Washington as a practitioner. She has trained in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Craniosacral, Trigger Point, Cupping and Taping Therapies.
Cheree is currently pursuing her full certification in Amino Neuro Frequency Therapy(ANF). She is currently certified through Level 2. Amino Neuro Frequency uses the body’s own frequencies to provide pain relief and healing. The frequencies are administered
through small preloaded discs that are applied to the body and continue to emit for approximately 3 days. The most notable professional group using ANF in our community is the Champion Rugby Team the Seattle Seawolves.
Cheree is continually looking to increase her knowledge base, as well as defer to those more knowledgeable when she is out of her scope. She works with and refers to multiple providers and doctors in the local community. Her goal when working with clients is to instill hope, education and assist a client back to control of their bodies and introduce them to the tools to maintain and grow their body awareness and strength.
