“The back pain’s gone.”
Breast cancer survivor Angela, who’s had 20 surgeries, went from constant pain when moving to planning to hike the Appalachian Trail
“I don't have the back pain anymore. Like, the back pain's gone. Mentally I'm in a much better mood again. I'm definitely much more active with pickleball now. I was with my friend in the city talking about hiking, and I said I really want to do the Appalachian Trail one day, like it's a goal!”
-Angela Giufredda, 63
When I’m standing in good alignment I feel more power [from] my legs straight through to the earth.
Athlete, Sheila, who had restriction from her big toe to her hips, went from feeling limited in her ability to lunge and do longer walks to feeling full body freedom
“The amount of spaciousness that I'm feeling in all of my joints right now, and the amount of hip flexibility - I am feeling length in my hip flexors that’s noticeably different, really different!
I'm a big advocate of people finding solutions that really work. This work is so great to tease apart the little things, to add ingredients back in that can build health, and then to be able to move in the way that you want to in the future.”
-Sheila Kapper-Finn
Movement Coaching
Patrick is an amazing teacher. Each session is interesting and different but always exactly calibrated to my level. I have learned a lot, including many things that I thought I would never be able to do. And at end of every session, I leave feeling like I had a mini-vacation.

Patrick has been our instructor for more than 2 years. He is outstanding. We have recommended him to all of our friends. He is a highly skilled trainer and he teachers with the perfect mix of physical and the meditative aspects. He is completely responsive to what we want to focus on at a particular time. Cannot praise him highly enough.
— Sheryl

Patrick is the BEST! He is so easy to talk with and knowledgable. He is an absolute pro and I have really enjoyed the times Patrick has worked with me. I had one of the best private sessions with Patrick that I have ever had in my life. I highly recommend him. He is very professional and down to earth.

Thank you.
You give a lesson in how to coach, not trying to impress, listening to everyone, wonderful.
You seem totally easy, and genuinely keen to help. Just that is relief.

Bodywork
Patrick is a gifted practitioner. I felt immediately comfortable and cared for with Patrick’s expertise and skilled touch. Becasue of the one-on-one focused attention and manipulation of the body, with Patrick I felt safe, supported and even guided deeper into my own practice. Highly recommended for a completely relaxing and opening experience!

Patrick creates a warm, supportive environment for his sessions. There is an ease about him but what’s really special is his gentle sense of playfulness. Patrick is skilled, comforting, and truly human.
— Laura
His experience of how to move the body gives him an empathetic but confident touch. He’s humble when lisening to you about your body and understands that no one knows it better than you!
