Patra - a craniosacral studio

06/26/2025

✨ New Location, Same Deep Stillness ✨

I’m delighted to share that starting next week, I’ll be welcoming clients into my new studio space in North Beach, Maryland.

In a few short weeks, this space has transformed in a quiet container for deep healing. Nestled near the water, it’s light-filled, grounding, and ready to hold what needs to be met—gently, spaciously, and with care.

🌀 New Address:
9132 Bay Ave
North Beach, MD 20714
(Just above Dusk & Willow & Unauthorized Brewery — look for the “Offices” sign)

💆‍♀️ Offerings:
CranioSacral Therapy sessions that include aromatherapy, iTovi scan, and intuitive presence.
Sliding gently into the deeper layers of your system to unwind patterns, restore flow, and return to Self.

💫 Now booking for July and beyond.

Thank you for walking this path with me, through each quiet shift.
I can’t wait to welcome you into this new chapter.
It’s still me. It’s still the work. It just has a new place to land.

What an amazing thought. Maybe it's true.

Ernest Hemingway once wrote: The hardest lesson I have had to learn as an adult is the relentless need to keep going, no matter how broken I feel inside.
This truth is raw, unfiltered, and painfully universal. Life doesn’t stop when we are exhausted, when our hearts are shattered, or when our spirits feel threadbare. It keeps moving—unyielding, indifferent—demanding that we keep pace. There is no pause button for grief, no intermission for healing, no moment where the world gently steps aside and allows us to mend. Life expects us to carry our burdens in silence, to push forward despite the weight of all we carry inside.
The cruelest part? No one really prepares us for this. As children, we are fed stories of resilience wrapped in neat, hopeful endings—tales where pain has purpose and every storm clears to reveal a bright horizon. But adulthood strips away those comforting illusions. It teaches us that survival is rarely poetic. More often than not, it’s about showing up when you’d rather disappear, smiling through pain no one sees, and carrying on despite feeling like you're unraveling from the inside out.
And yet, somehow, we persevere. That’s the quiet miracle of being human. Even when life is relentless, even when hope feels distant, we keep moving. We stumble, we break, we fall to our knees—but we get up. And in doing so, we uncover a strength we never knew we had. We learn to comfort ourselves in the ways we wish others would. We become the voice of reassurance we once searched for. Slowly, we realize that resilience isn’t always about grand acts of bravery; sometimes, it’s just a whisper—“Keep going.”
Yes, it’s exhausting. Yes, it’s unfair. And yes, there are days when the weight of it all feels unbearable. But every small step forward is proof that we haven’t given up. That we are still fighting, still holding on, still refusing to let the darkness consume us. That quiet defiance—choosing to exist, to try, to hope—is the bravest thing we can do.

I had a blast retreats VIP weekend. This is the only picture I took because I was so immersed in the amazingness of my time there.

One afternoon my CST besties and I played with watercolors and pastels. In this one, I used rain and watercolor. When it dried I was so moved by the beauty of the experience reflected in my art.

I love you so both so much and Looking forward to more of these!
