Cherie Hamburger is a dedicated Kinesiology teacher and practitioner of Applied Physiology based in Brisbane, Australia. With a foundation rooted in both lineage and lived experience, Cherie was trained by her mother, Sherril Taylor, Lead Trainer at the International Institute for Applied Physiology (IIAP). This multi-generational mentorship has shaped her deeply embodied and mindful approach to teaching.

Cherie’s connection to holistic health began in childhood, when she experienced chronic migraines and food sensitivities. Her family turned to natural and integrative methods — with Kinesiology & Acupuncture playing a central role in her healing. This early introduction to body-based wisdom became a guiding force in her life. Years later, when her own children began to struggle with the pace and pressures of modern life and schooling, Cherie returned to Kinesiology with renewed devotion — both as a mother and as a practitioner seeking deeper tools for support and regulation.

Alongside her work in Applied Physiology, Cherie draws from a rich background in subtle energy practices. She is a Reiki Master, Sound Therapy & Brain Gym practitioner, and trained in Kundalini Yoga Meditation and Subtle Body Healing. She also facilitates Women’s Circles rooted in embodiment, cyclical living, and community-based healing. Her approach is deeply attuned to the rhythms of nature, the seasons of life, and the sacred intelligence of the female body — including hormonal cycles, intuition, and emotional landscapes. This lived connection informs not only how she practices, but how she guides others toward self-awareness, balance, and presence.

Cherie offers a grounded and accessible learning environment for students at all stages of their kinesiology journey — from those beginning their path to seasoned practitioners seeking to deepen their skills. Her workshops focus on building confidence, clarity, and embodied presence, empowering practitioners to create meaningful, heart-led impact in their work.

Guided by the evolving edge of Applied Physiology, Cherie’s work is an invitation to honour the intelligence of the body, reconnect with the wisdom of the earth, and walk the healing path with integrity, compassion, and care.
