Cheri Stalmann, Certified Massage and Lymphedema Therapist
Specializing in Lymphatic Massage (Vodder Method) & Cranio-Sacral Therapy
My Background and Expertise

Hello, I'm Cheri Stalmann, Certified Massage and Lymphedema Therapist. I bring to my massage practice over a decade of experience as a health and wellness professional, including 4 years as a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant working with post-surgical and rehabilitation patients.
I earned my Lymphedema Therapy Certification (Vodder Method) through Klose Training in Denver, and I am certified by the California Massage Therapy Council (#98540), with over 500 hours of training from the McKinnon Institute in Oakland.
I currently provide on-site therapeutic massage to elder residents at a beautiful Assisted Living/Skilled Nursing facility in Oakland, and I work as a massage therapist with The Fountain Project Health and Wellness Center in Richmond.
I've been a volunteer provider of oncology massage with the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic in Oakland since 2024.
About My Practice
In my private practice, I offer customized 60-,
75- and 90-minute sessions that combine the most appropriate techniques to address your health goals.
Sessions are offered in my peaceful Richmond studio (pictured).
I am available for home visits in most locations along the I-80 corridor from Hercules to Oakland for an additional charge depending on location.
All new clients receive a complimentary 10-15 minute telephone consultation prior to your visit to ensure that my services are appropriate for you. As with all medical professionals, I will ask you to fill out a brief medical history and consent form before we begin our first session together.
