Patricia Ratel, LMT ...professional massage from the heart
Astor Square, 6811 Rt. 9, Rhinebeck, NY (845)518-7967

Welcome to Heart Felt Hands, a place where you can be still and let the day's stresses go. "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Is it more than stress. Are you hurting, or just simply want to feel better? Life's heartaches can easily manifest itself physical, whether it be in pain, sickness and even depression. "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." I want to offer a massage thats more than from the hands, but from the heart. I do not pretend to be a miracle worker. I just want to use the talents God gifted me with. "...they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Mark 16:18
WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER- I am a graduate of the Swedish Institute of Manhattan. I have been practicing for 13 years now. I am trained and experienced in swedish massage, deep-tissue, myofascial technique, trigger point therapy, medical massage, shiatsu, pregnancy massage and visceral massage. I do not usually stick to one modality while doing a massage (unless it is pregnancy or visceral*). I work with your body listening very carefully to what it needs at the time. *visceral massage is the manipulation of the body's organs.
UNIQUE MASSAGE SERVICES- One of my goals is to bring massage to every home knowing how important and beneficial it is. Therefore, I offer home visits. Having guest for the holidays? Don't know what special gift you can give your bridal party? Want to impress your in-laws? Mom's getting too old to get around? Who wants to deal with the stress of driving after a relaxing massage? Set your own atmosphere: candles, music, your favorite fuzzy blanket. I can't think of a better more private setting then the comforts of your own home. (serving N. Dutchess county/S. Columbia county including Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Stanfordville, Millbrook, Millerton, Hudson and surrounding areas)) HOME VISITS--$60 PER 1/2 HR.
I AM ALSO LOCATED AT THE ASTOR SQUARE OF RHINEBECK. IN STUDIO RATES-- 1/2 HR.=$45 1 HR.=$75 1 1/2=$110 DISCOUNT PACKAGES--3 pack(1hr. massage)=$215, 5 pack=$355, 10 pack=675

ASK ABOUT MY MASSAGE CLASSES. Another good way to bring massage to every home is to LEARN massage. I am offering basic massage tutorials based on swedish strokes. Bring your spouse, a family member or a friend to my studio at the Astor Mall in Rhinebeck, NY. See more in "Partner Massage class" from the menu. Its a great way to take care of your loved ones and to be able to have massage literally at your fingertips.
