    Patricia Leat  is a licensed, nationally certified Acupuncturist in the U.S. and draws on a variety of therapies in her practice in order to provide the most appropriate treatment for each patient. She blends Acupuncture with Qi Gong, Ayurvedic Medicine, Mantras and the CranioSacral Therapy of John E. Upledger, D.O., O.M.M., in conjunction with the visceral manipulation techniques of Jean-Pierre Barral , as well as meridian therapy with truly amazing results.

    Her skills and insights have enabled her to work with a wide range of patients including those with dyslexia and learning disorders, serious digestive disorders, migraines, coma patients, colic and other innervation-related conditions and more. Patricia has treated birthing mothers and newborns to those ending their journey.

    In her continued desire to find new and more effective modalities, she participates as a therapist in Dolphin Assisted Therapy (cranio sacral therapy and other modalities in the water assisted by dolphins) for patients with brain and spinal cord injuries. Patti was one of the original team of therapists involved in the pilot project by the Upledger Intitute, Inc.at the Dolphin Research Center in Marathon, Florida.

    Patricia's love for nature and her commitment to protect the environment by using only environmentally safe products has fostered an appreciation of herbs and natural healing methods. She incorporates nutritional counseling into her practice and is a nationally certified herbologist in both Chinese and Western Herbs and supplements.

    Patricia began her practice of CranioSacral Therapy in 1990 after being exposed to it, as a patient for the relief of intense and unrelenting pain following a lifelong series of cranio-facial surgeries. When western medicine proved ineffective in relieving her pain she sought the help of a practitioner of alternative medicine.

    Her pain vanished in only two treatments.

    Thus affirming her interest in alternative therapies and her commitment to healing others. Her love of life and desire to help others aid their bodies and minds in healing themselves has built a loyal following and brought even more joy into her life.

    This talented healthcare specialist is a member of the The International Association of Healthcare Practitioners , a league of caregivers dedicated to therapies that offer innovative solutions to their patients and clients. The IAHP was founded to provide a united voice for the practitioners of many complementary healthcare modalities.

    Patricia is also a PADI certified Scuba Instructor with close to 500 dives around the world. Besides the magical healing and peace she finds beneath the waves, her continued study and participation in Dolphin Assisted Therapy benefits her patients, also benefiting underwater research and familiarity with the properties of bodies of water and the ocean inhabitants around the globe.
