Student Experiences

“I was expecting all kinds of super technical discussion of scar healing and infection etc., but I was pleasantly surprised to find a much more grounded experience. It went above and beyond my expectations because Pati made something I saw as complicated and above me, attainable and real. I felt able to understand this practice and share it because Pati's approach was open and so informative.”

“A must for all birth/body workers for yourself, your practice, and to encourage clients to start their own journey of connection and exploration with their body. ”

S.J.

“The recording was helpful and thorough. This was a great class, with in-depth, step-by-step, and LGBTQ+ friendly explanations. The demonstration was great to watch, and feedback from the receiver of touch was helpful as a practitioner.”

“This course experience was better than I expected! I had my reservations about not being able to get practical experience from the course, but Pati is very thorough and makes online learning easy.”
