Body Luminous ~ Integrative Bodywork and Massage

I have been a massage practitioner and bodyworker since 1995. I'm a graduate of the San Francisco School of Massage, establishing my Body Luminous practice in San Francisco in 2005 (SF Massage Practitioner #02071).

Bodywork is both a passion and a teacher to me, as I am continually learning from my practice, of the internal intricacies of the human body and energy field.

Integrative Bodywork combines elements from complementary massage modalities, infused with techniques formed from my studies and experiences in Chinese Kung Fu, Tantric disciplines, and the body arts of massage and holistic healing. I am an eleventh generation disciple of Seven Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu and practitioner of Sap Bat Lo Han Gung (Chi Gung). I continue my journey through ongoing trades of information and technique with fellow bodywork professionals, as well as further coursework in body sciences.

My therapies address needs that range from subtle recharging and balancing of organ meridians / energetic channels of the body (Acupressure), to deep manual therapy for training and recovery from injury and repetitive stress (Deep Tissue and Sports), to relaxation, recharging and stress abatement (Swedish), to energetic recalibration of the cerebrospinal fluid system (CranioSacral), to subtle draining and release of toxins, wastes and excess fluid from the body (Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, Cupping).

For each Integrative Bodywork session, I tailor the therapy to the individual’s needs and bodywork goals, bringing my personal touch and intuition to create a superlative experience with profound and healing results.

	I have been an Esthetician and worked in the Spa industry for over 7+ years and have had MANY massages. Needless to say, I was superbly impressed. His technique is like nothing I have ever experienced before-strong yet not painful. I left feeling amazingly less tense and revived. - Stacey W We bought a massage package for 10 sessions with Patrick. Each session was consistently, simply wonderful! Just what the doctor had ordered. Under the skillful hands of Patrick every muscle is relaxed deftly and the body feels honored by the massage. - Nalini M His massage therapy (whether Swedish, Deep Tissue or Lymphatic) is truly therapeutic and worth every minute and every penny. He asks what you need, listens and responds, but also seems to instinctively know/sense where it hurts and attends to that. - Mary G I was recovering from recurrent sinus infections and looked for a lymphatic drainage massage to help with blockages in my sinuses and ears and to boost immunity. I experienced an immediate improvement in my symptoms in the hours after receiving the massage... - Madeline K He uses his hands in a way that I really appreciate... completely enveloping each limb so you feel that all of your skin is nurtured. - Marci Y I'm 35 weeks pregs with my second and had an awesome prenatal massage today. 90 minutes of pure relaxation. He was really accommodating, and I was completely comfortable changing positions when baby told me to. He was great, so I thought I'd share with other Mamas who need a little "me time" - whether you're pregnant or not. - Jenna G Patrick's work is great. He has an evolved presence which translates very effectively into his work combining an extremely proficient and therapeutic professional technique, with a spirit of respect, intelligence and subdued warmth. - Bob S I have been going to Patrick as I was recovering from an injury in my lower back. He's work was so important for my recovery. I got rid of a lot stored hidden tension and finished up with a beautiful aligned spirit and body. You can sense the knowledge and sensitivity in his hands, as a massage therapist I appreciate it a lot. - Amy A Was having first time ever muscle spasms in my back and was in a panic. Literally crawled up on the massage table and could hardly move to get my head in the "cradle". I am not typically dramatic but I have also never been laid out on my back. Patrick was calming, thoughtful and competent and I am now almost pain free. - Ellen D I've been struggling with an inflammatory disease for the last year and a half and needed lymphatic draining to help drain the inflammation fluids. To my great luck, Patrick was open during covid and he's helped me tremendously! - Agnetha M
