In 2018 she completed a 100-hour certification in Esalen Massage®.

We are so excited to introduce our newest Massage therapist to you all!

​Patty studied massage therapy through the Myotherapy Institute of Utah. Her hands-on trainers were Peggy Roberts and Nora Hale in Hebron, Kentucky. She specializes in Swedish massage, Craniosacral Therapy, and Reiki. Patty's training with these have taught her that the body will tell you what is wrong if you let it. She says massage therapy is the best to get the body back on track and gain some insight as to what it may need to be for future care. She calls this Body Awareness. When you schedule with Patty you probably won't hear anything you don't already know, but it's confirmation of what you may have been thinking.
