Patricia “Pati” Garcia – Lead Practitioner

With 20+ years of experience in women’s health, bodywork, and midwifery, Pati blends Shiatsu, Cranial-Sacral, Perinatal, Postpartum and Fertility Massages into deeply restorative sessions.

Her touch is intuitive and informed, helping release tension, restore vitality, and reconnect you to your body’s wisdom.

Background & Experience

Pati began her healing journey in 2005 at the Shiatsu School of Massage with Dr. Kaneko in Santa Monica, California, where she was formally trained in Shiatsu Anma — a traditional Japanese modality integrating acupressure, meridian therapy, and deep intuitive touch.

Over the past two decades, her practice has evolved into a holistic bodywork approach that honors the body’s innate intelligence and capacity for self-repair. Pati brings over 20 years of experience in women’s health, bodywork, and midwifery, blending traditional healing arts with modern somatic science.

Specialties
  • Shiatsu Anma
  • Cranial-Sacral Therapy (Hugh Milne)
  • Pregnancy & Postpartum Massage (Ingrid Marsten)
  • Womb & Fertility Massage (Mesoamerican style)

Philosophy & Approach

 Pati’s sessions blend grounded anatomical knowledge with compassionate, body-based awareness. Every treatment is tailored to each client’s unique physical, emotional, and energetic needs — whether releasing tension, restoring pelvic vitality, or reconnecting with the body’s wisdom.

Signature Touch

 Her touch is intuitive, informed, and deeply restorative, creating a safe space for healing and transformation. Clients often leave feeling renewed, balanced, and deeply connected to their own body.

Message to Clients

“Your body holds incredible intelligence and resilience. My work is to support, guide, and honor that capacity for repair, vitality, and wellbeing.”
