Licensed Massage Therapist. Certified Life Coach. Corporate Wellness Trainer. Motivational Speaker. Published Author. And for 23+ years — a breast cancer survivor who rebuilt her life from the inside out.
🎗️ 23+ Year Breast Cancer Survivor — diagnosed 2002
Patti’s survivorship is not a footnote in her story. It is the foundation of her mission, the source of her expertise, and the reason every technique she teaches has been personally tested.
I know what healing actually requires — because I’ve had to do it myself.
In 2002, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. What followed was not just a medical journey — it was a full rebuilding of my body, my identity, my sense of what was possible, and my understanding of what the human body and spirit are truly capable of when given the right support.
That experience changed everything about how I work. I did not just study wellness — I lived the healing process. I know what it feels like to be afraid of your own body. To lose trust in it. To have to reintroduce touch, movement, and breath one careful step at a time. And I know what it takes to come back — stronger, more grounded, and more purposeful than before.
For over 22 years, I have brought every bit of that lived knowledge into my work — as a massage therapist, a life coach, a corporate wellness trainer, and a speaker. I don’t offer generic programs or motivational talk. I offer what I know to be true, from the inside out.
