    60 minutes — $120

    Best for addressing 1–2 specific areas of concern. Designed to focus on targeted treatment rather than a full-body massage, allowing more time and attention where you need it most.

  • 75 minutes — $150

    Best for addressing 2–3 specific areas of concern. Provides additional time for more detailed treatment and therapeutic work while remaining focused on the areas that need the most attention.

    90 minutes — $180

    Designed for a more comprehensive treatment of 3–4 areas of concern. Allows time for both targeted work and broader full-body relaxation, making it a great option for deeper therapeutic results.

About Cheryl

I’m Cheryl Baker, LMT. I’ve worked in Kalamazoo since 2014—first in casino and spa settings, later under mentors who sharpened my skills in deep tissue, hot stones, aromatherapy, MRT, cupping, Ashi-Thai, and kinesiology taping. In 2023 I opened Lower Peninsula Massage Therapy to create a place where clients feel heard and leave with a plan, not guesswork.

I’m also a mom to an almost-teen—so yes, hours can shift with school. I’ll keep the online schedule current and always confirm by phone.

What clients say

  • Mary Rose

    ★★★★★

    I went to Cheryl at Lower Peninsula Massage Therapy with neck and back pain from overuse and scoliosis. She used magnetic cupping on my back along with other massage techniques to loosen and soften my muscles. I feel relaxed and the pain in my back is gone! I highly recommend Cheryl for anyone who has scoliosis, neck and back pain. She is incredible. The pressure was perfect and her bed is very comfortable. I will definitely be back! Thank you, Cheryl!

  • Patti Oliver

    Words can’t describe how Cheryl makes you feel after the massage! I leave feeling like a cup of jello! Her deep tissue massage is absolutely breathtaking, literally breathtaking! She does a fantastic job communicating with her clients and making sure the pressure is okay. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, Cheryl makes me feel like family. She truly cares!

    I went to Cheryl with neck pain, and by the end of the session I had regained full range of motion in my neck and was pain free. She also worked out my tendinitis and lower back pain. I highly recommend seeing Cheryl for any type of body work. Cheryl is highly professional and easy to talk to. Thank you, Cheryl!
