Patty began her career in the healing arts as a massage therapist, graduating from the Massage Therapy school in 2002. She took her first class in CranioSacral Therapy in 2004 and in 2006 she started her journey at the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration (now the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute) becoming a Certified Rolfer® in 2007. 

Since then she has seen clients from all walks of life, from runners and cyclists, to business professions, people suffering from chronic pain or illness, parents, expecting mothers, kids and babies as young as 8 weeks old. Patty is constantly working to continue to educate herself and bring her clients better results.

What makes Patty special is her ability to see people for who they are and meet them where they are, as an individual, with a unique story and journey. She feels the best part of her job is helping people heal; seeing clients experience less pain, finding more possibilities in their bodies, and watching that newfound ease and freedom of movement translate into their life off the table.
