a healing place for body, mind and soul...

When we open our mind to seek understanding though simple curiosity and exploration, we then allow our focus to shift from trauma to healing... A.P. Grez

Welcome

Hello! My name is Ann Patrice. I've been practicing the healing arts since 2006 as a licensed massage therapist. I've always seemed to posses an innate desire to learn and grow - it is a way of life for me. I consider myself a very lucky woman to enjoy sharing each and every day with the wonderful people that I call clients. In addition to my work, I enjoy spending time hiking with my corgi named Finn (who is also the official office greeter), taking photographs, and experiencing live music. My passion lies in making life better for myself and others. Over the last decade or so, improving our mental health has become highly valued (and necessary) in our culture. There is a common understanding now that we have the ability change the patterns of generational and other trauma, and that by doing so, we free ourselves from many of the chains that have bound us to live in ways that we do not wish to. My work has been quietly shifting over the years alongside of this wonderful movement. I now focus the majority of my time practicing Somato Emotional work, Transformational Coaching and Energetic Home Clearing to support the needs of those seeking to improve the emotional quality of their life. If you have been looking for support in this way, please know that transformation can be peaceful, joyful, easy and respectful. I like to think of it as a way to learn how to listen, trust and re-parent ourself to a new level of adulthood that many have never had the chance to experience. Life can be great - and it doesn't have to be a difficult or scary process. I have also practiced muscle therapy for the last 20 years. Rest assured, if addressing physical pain through muscle therapy is what you seek, I am here for you as well. My skills are based in the understanding that when one muscle moves, many others must move as well. Conversely, if one muscle can not move well, than many other muscles, by default, must not move well either. Let's focus on treating the whole picture, rather than only the area of pain. Many people that have been diagnosed with anxiety have been in pain for quite some time. If the pain pattern is addressed, the level of anxiety will naturally decrease as well. I have a very common sense approach that I combine with intuitiveness when it comes to muscle work. I invite you to experience the path forward, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I look forward to being with you as you learn to trust in your body, move through the world more freely, believe in who you are, and ultimately, to find true compassion for the self that is innately you. Welcome! -Ann Patrice

Understanding these emotions and what they are seeking to convey can be life altering, bringing about change within the mental and physical body.

Ann's work is amazing, I highly recommend a session with her to anyone. She is professional and works at a level that few others do.

Ann is an extremely talented therapist, healer, and teacher. I had high expectations given her other reviews, but she far exceeded them. She analyzes your problem(s), and customizes her treatment for the patient, while explaining everything to educate you as well. I would recommend Ann and Pro-Active to anyone, and I'll definitely be returning.

I’ve had many massages in the past, But I’ve never had ones that get to the very core of my pain. Truly, Ann has made a huge difference, after only seeing her a few times. I highly recommend her, and her expert skill and knowledge of the human body.
