Gabrielle “Chéri Yielle” Thomas is The Therapeutic Expressionist—an artist, coach, and spaceholder who weaves music, voice, healthy communication, and platonic therapeutic touch into safe, soulful spaces for healing and self-work. As the creator of Under The Chéri Tree, she invites people to explore vulnerability, process life’s complexities, and find restoration through guided expression.

Her work blends music therapy, storytelling, and cuddle therapy into experiences that are both grounding and expansive. Through workshops, circles, and 1:1 offerings, Chéri holds space for truth, tenderness, and transformation—helping others recharge, release, and reconnect with themselves and each other.

Rooted in her signature Yielle Principle, which states that there is healing and power in using your voice to express authentic truth, Chéri Yielle is here to help you feel more whole, more seen, and more free.
