About Me

Yonina Chernick, BA Kinesiology '87 from the University of Western Ontario and the University of British Columbia, trained at Sutherland-Chan School of Massage Therapy and opened private practices in both London and Guelph in 1991. Since then, she has studied CranioSacral Therapy(CST), latterly training as an instructor and a Techniques Level Examiner for the Upledger Institute. With Diplomate Certification achieved in 2000, she teaches CS1, CS2 and SER1(the first, second and third levels in the core curriculum) in both North America and abroad to professionals from all areas of Health Care. Since completing McMaster University's Contemporary Acupuncture Program, and advanced training as a Neurofunctional Sports Performance Practitioner, she has become a Senior Instructor. With a return to her sports roots, Nina has worked with several teams at the University of Western Ontario as well as been part of the medical team for numerous national and international sporting events. Presently in London, she uses CranioSacral Therapy in treating infants, children and adults. She uniquely blends the Neurofunctional approach of Contemporary Acupuncture with the whole body focus of CST to help with acute or chronic pain, concussions and sports injuries, trauma, neurological problems, learning, developmental and feeding issues, facial and oral dysfunction.
