Patti specializes in many areas, including body work (she's been a massage therapist since 1977), LaStone Massage, brain repatternings, chronic pain, emotional trauma, and life-time transitions. Her eclectic background in education has allowed her to teach for both private and public schools with children and teachers, setting up a variety of programs including infant massage, communications, team building, learning styles, discipline, parenting skill and learning disabilities, to name a few.
As a body worker, it has been said that Patti has magical hands. She has taught for several massage schools and spas around the country. Her background is diverse and she listens to your body and works with it to help you create harmony and balance throughout your physical being. Her stone massages consist of a combination of massage, cranial/sacral work, energy and Reiki modalities. Each and every massage is different and is tailored to the client's individual needs. She is certified in LaStone therapy and was human resource director for the company for a number of years, training therapists and the LaStone staff as well.
With her varied background and experiences as a counselor, she has the ability to draw out in you the answers that you already know. If you are truly ready to look at circular negative patterns in your life, release them and create positive change, then Patti is one to work with. She insists on honesty and a willingness to create change.
Patti is also a Reiki healer and teacher. She helps facilitate harmony in your being so that you can learn to heal yourself. This is truly a wonderful experience. She can work with disease in the body, broken bones, fatigue, and past traumas locked in the body. She can also teach you how to center, ground and de-stress your own body, allowing for true harmony and balance to enter. It's revitalizing and refreshing.
In the past 10 years Patti has founded Stepping Stones to Reiki. These classes are powerful and profound, bringing together the ancient wisdom of the stones and the tradition of Reiki. Patti also works with children with learning difficulties in private sessions. In addition, she operates a private massage therapy practice.
