Patience Meigs Bousel, CSE, CTP, LMT

Patience has been involved in the field of natural health for over 25 years. She is a certified practitioner of Clinical Somatic Education and The Trager® Approach, as well as a Licensed Massage Therapist.

Through a variety of modalities, Patience uses an effective approach to relieve pain, tension and stress. The work is gentle; the effects are both deep and long-lasting. As a Somatic educator and practitioner of The Trager® Approach, she works in partnership with her clients to address underlying patterns of habitually held tension, allowing for deep relaxation of body and mind. Benefits are cumulative over a series of sessions, which include the option of instruction in self-care movements to take into daily life. Her approach is beneficial to people of all ages.

Patience has an eclectic background, with a B.A. in French and History of Art from Bryn Mawr College, followed by 5 years of music school and then a year of harpsichord and piano technology. Health challenges led her to the study of oriental medicine and whole foods with a certification as a Natural Health Educator.

A gradual expansion and deepening of her understanding of the nature of healing through a variety of trainings led Patience to her current focus of Somatic education. She creates a partnership with her clients of peace and safety, where each person can explore new possibilities of freedom, ease and spaciousness, allowing deep relaxation of body and mind; her clients call it, “a feeling of relaxed alertness and inner calm.” Her ultimate goal is that her clients be empowered to recall and recreate these feelings on their own, at any chosen moment.
