“When you touch one thing with deep awareness,
you touch everything.“
Thich Nhat Hanh
Gentle touch. Profound change. CranioSacral Therapy.
CranioSacral Therapy invites your body to release old patterns, calm the nervous system, and remember its natural balance. The craniosacral system, which surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord, has a remarkable influence on how you experience health and well-being.
When your body endures ongoing stress, strain or injury, tissues can tighten around this delicate system, limiting its movement and affecting nearly every other function in the body. With a distinctive light-touch, CranioSacral Therapy helps release these restrictions so the body can relax, self-correct and restore balance.
By allowing the central nervous system to function more freely, it has been shown that CST improves the performance of other systems, including digestive, musculoskeletal, and respiratory. This support helps the body to reengage its innate capacity to heal.
Clients commonly seek CranioSacral Therapy for migraines, chronic neck and back pain, concussions, scoliosis, cognitive issues, Ehler-Danlos Syndrome, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, depression, and more. Sessions are designed to help you rest deeply and reconnect with your own quiet strength.
This studio welcomes anyone who is drawn to the quiet intelligence of the body and the innate power of self-healing. Patra’s work is rooted in CranioSacral Therapy and has evolved through years of direct experience, study, and intuitive exploration. She has trained extensively through the Upledger Institute and continues advanced studies in Europe with leading instructors, deepening her understanding of the body’s subtle communication and capacity for transformation.
Her approach blends refined technical skill with an intuitive stillness that allows each client’s system to guide the work. Every session offers a space for rest, renewal, and reconnection where gentle touch and quiet presence invite the body to remember its own wisdom.

What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and self-regulate. With light touch and deep listening, this work helps release patterns of tension that form from stress, injury, or long-term holding. As the nervous system unwinds, circulation improves, pain often eases, and the whole body begins to rest more deeply.
Sessions with Patra Healey invite a quiet state of balance where the body can reorganize at its own pace. Many clients describe feeling lighter, calmer, and more at home in themselves after treatment. CranioSacral Therapy can support a wide range of concerns from headaches, TMJ tension, and back pain to fatigue, anxiety, and overall stress. It is safe, non-invasive, and effective for both physical and emotional well-being.
Each session is tailored to meet you exactly where you are. Patra combines her formal training through the Upledger Institute with intuitive awareness developed through years of direct practice. Her approach honors the innate intelligence within every body, allowing healing to emerge naturally rather than being forced.
This work is ideal for anyone seeking relief, renewal, or simply a pause in the rush of daily life. Whether you are addressing a specific issue or simply need time to reconnect with yourself, CranioSacral Therapy offers a path back to stillness, balance, and self-trust.
Healing often deepens when it’s shared. A CranioSacral Therapy gift card is a meaningful way to offer care and restoration to someone you value. It’s more than a gift, it’s an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember what it feels like to rest.
Gift cards are available in any amount and can be purchased directly online. They make thoughtful gifts for birthdays, holidays, or moments when words alone aren’t enough. Whether your loved one needs gentle support after a demanding season or simply a reason to exhale, a session with Patra provides the space to unwind and come home to themselves.
Each appointment takes place in her calm, welcoming studio designed to foster quiet and renewal. Every detail, from lighting to energy to the cadence of touch, is chosen to support deep rest and authentic healing.

I experienced profound emotional breakthrough on more than one occasion with her therapy.

Had my first experience with Craniosacral with Patra, and it was amazing to feel my leg release some of its chronic tension by … More the end of the session. Patra has a very intuitive touch and checked in often to make sure I was comfortable. She has a very healing presence. The day after our session I felt back to my old self, much of the depression that accompanies persistent pain gone. Her work is intuitive and compassionate. This is the person I would seek out when I really need help with issues related to this work.

Patra’s energy, empathy, ability to connect, and commitment to supporting her clients provides a cocoon of deep healing. Whether … More clarity is revealed slowly or quickly, whether you sense an emotional shift or a tangible physical change, each session is profound. I have experienced such benefits from Craniosacral Therapy in the safety and beauty of Patra’s space as noting an immediate ability to relax and lower my shoulders to the space in which they belong (after many months of not being able to) and being able to drive by the site of a traumatic accident and no longer experience a trauma response, as well as subtle shifts in my energy and personal revelations that unfold in the days following a session.

I cannot say enough positive things about Patra. Just walking into her clinic instantly relaxes me. She begins each session by … More taking the time to discuss any physical or emotional stresses happening in your life at that time, as well as anything positive happening. She always seems to know the right questions to ask in order to get to the heart of whatever it is your body and mind need for each session. Before lying down on a Biomat, she asks if there are any intentions you would like to set for that session. After lying down, she gently evaluates the energy of your body from head to toe, feeling for what needs attention the most. Then, she places her hands around that area. Once again, she asks all the right questions to help you get in touch with what your body needs and release any pent up emotions or pain. She guides you the entire way through- sometimes doing guided imagery or even simply lying in silence- whatever you need. Her hands are like magic. I can hear and feel my body respond to her work... it's truly powerful. I leave her clinic feeling so much better, and can tell my health improves more and more after each session. I am so grateful for Patra and her dedication to helping her patients.
