Pat practices Physical Therapy holistically, having taught mindfulness and yoga for a decade prior as their prior career.  Having dealt with chronic pain themself, they are passionate about finding clear physical cues and somatic learning to heal intrinsically, so that patients can regain control and autonomy in their body.  Pelvic health for all genders and bodies is their special clinical interest – everybody has a pelvis, and everybody deserves access to affirming care.
