My story

Patricia is a talented Osteopath and Massage Therapist with a passion for her chosen career path. Patricia is qualified with a University Masters Degree from The British School of Osteopathy in London, where she studied full-time for 4 years. She has been a Sports Massage Therapist since 2008, and holds Acupuncture and Lymphatic Massage qualification, in addition. Patricia is able to combine her skills effectively for each patient. She has experience treating patients with highly complex conditions from infants to the elderly.

Patricia’s love for her work stems from a desire to help patients- to see the benefit her treatment gives them in their lives. Her ability level, above other practitioners, comes from her previous career as a professional dancer. 25 years of dance training, teaching and performance has left her with a unique insight into the human body, its functions and its limits. She has a very positive attitude to healing. She can be energetic and dynamic, but also calm, depending upon the needs of the patient.

Patricia is from Brazil originally. Her dance career took her to many places around the world including a life-changing move to London in 2002. It was there she changed careers, earning diplomas in Massage Therapy and Personal Training, and ultimately her Masters Degree in Osteopathy and specialization in Cranium/Sacral osteopathy. She has been living in Catalunya since January 2018.
