Life Coach, Patricia Cheeks smiles over her right shoulder, wearing a red top and lace cardigan and gold necklace tucked in to her shirt. She holds her glasses with her left, out of focus hand, and then background is also out of focus.

A history of truly benefiting others…

With over 30 years of experience helping others, I firmly believe in what I do. See what some of my clients have to say:

“Healing Touch is like a massage for the soul.”

C.S.

“Pat's toolbox of how-to-cope techniques, intuition, and listening skills changed my life. We all go through a variety of life transitions from college to careers, relationships, and work, but knowing how to navigate big and small changes effectively and efficiently makes a huge difference in whether we suffer or grow.

I've grown! I've been a client of Pat Cheeks off and on, for over 20 years. She taught me how to set and enforce good boundaries, improve my confidence and self-esteem, and manage my health issues. Cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Becky B.

“Several years ago, I underwent major surgery. Though the surgery itself was successful, my recovery was horrific. I was in constant pain and discomfort, unable to eat anything but baby food, kept losing weight and had no energy whatsoever. After ER visits, months of doctor appointments, tests, various diets and guidance from a nutritionist, I was no better, and terribly discouraged and depressed. Even the chief of the hospital’s gastro department had no idea what to do with me.

Fortunately, through a series of connections, I found my way to Pat Cheeks. I was so desperate for help that when I went to my first appointment, I hadn’t even bothered to check her background, had no idea about the nature of care or healing she provided. After only two appointments, things changed remarkably - I started to be able to process food and had energy to begin household tasks and taking walks. I continued working with Pat regularly and fully recovered.

I believe that she saved my life. I became so curious and excited about energy work and ‘Healing Touch’ in particular that I eventually started healing touch training myself. Pat is absolutely wonderful, a true healer on many levels with amazing talents, and I am extraordinarily grateful that I was directed to her. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I especially encourage those for whom Western medicine has not succeeded to make an appointment at their earliest opportunity.”

Susan L.

“I was struggling with my brother’s sudden  suicide death. Pat navigated me through it all. Her compassion and calm self is what makes her unique. She is one of the most caring people I know. Her knowledge of healing touch and health degrees set her apart from all the rest. She healed my heart and helped me understand life needs to go on. I highly recommend Pat and there is no one I would trust more. She is a blessing to my life.”

C. F.

“I can really see a change in you”. I never get tired of hearing this from family and friends.

I have always suffered from extreme anxiety and constant worry. It reached an all time high with a cancer diagnosis in 2018. 

I started seeing Pat just before chemo started. The healing touch techniques Pat used and her constant encouragement helped me cope with the chemo. 

I knew I needed to control my anxiety, but I didn’t know how to do that on my own so I continued to see Pat and through healing touch and Pat’s guidance and teachings, I have learned to control my anxiety and worry. I have learned to set boundaries, live a life of gratitude and stay grounded.  

I am a much happier, calmer person!!

My only regret, I didn’t start seeing Pat sooner.

I highly recommend Pat’s work!

FAQs

  • As a Transititions Coach, I often encounter questions about “What is energy work?” from my clients.

    Energy work is a holistic approach to healing that acknowledges the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. At its core, this approach recognizes that energy flows throughout our bodies 24/7 in a process called “life.”

    Disruptions or imbalances in this energy can contribute to physical and emotional distress, or disease. Energy work restores that balance by encompassing a variety of techniques and modalities. The common goal is always to restore harmony and balance the body’s various systems within the individual.

    One fundamental concept in energy work is that the body possesses an innate ability to heal itself when provided with the right conditions. I use various methods to facilitate this healing process. These methods may include Reiki, meditation, chakra balancing, therapeutic or healing touch, sound or other forms of energy work. During energy work sessions, clients may experience sensations like warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation, which are often seen as signs as their energy realigning.

    Energy work does not replace traditional medical treatment but is often used in conjunction with it to enhance overall well-being. It can be particularly beneficial for managing stress, anxiety, and pain, as well as promoting relaxation and a sense of inner peace. Additionally, energy work encourages clients to become more attuned to their own bodies and emotions, fostering self-awareness and self-healing.

    Energy work is a highly individualized practice, and the experience can vary from person to person. While some may find profound benefits, others may have a more subtle response.

    I approach energy work as a complementary tool, working alongside traditional therapeutic methods to support my clients on their journey toward holistic wellness. Ultimately, energy work invites individuals to explore the profound connection between their physical, emotional, and energetic selves, fostering a deeper understanding of their own healing potential.

  • I listen a lot. By nature, I’m a listener. I believe good listening and a strong respect for people’s privacy allows me to provide a safe harbor for my clients. Listening is so underrated. By listening, I can better understand how to help a client formulate the questions and issues they’re truly dealing with.

    I listen because defining the problem is the most difficult and the most important of all the steps to healing and change. Listening helps us diagnose the situation so that our focus is on addressing the real problem and not just treating the symptoms. For instance, if doctors focus on the symptoms of a disease (cancer) rather than on diagnosing and treating the disease or issue (removing the tumor, surgically correcting a hernia, etc.), then their patient doesn’t heal, and may get worse! Defining the problem means finding the roots of your issue, not the symptoms that branch off from it.

    I want my clients to be comfortable expressing their deepest thoughts and being their truest selves so we can diagnose the right problem and move towards a solution.

  • My office is a no-judgement zone. At our core, people are people. “Normal” is just a setting on a dryer, and “Weird,” is just a word for something people don’t understand. From Jesus to Buddha and to all spiritual leaders, the primary command has universally been to “love others.” I strongly believe in practicing love.

    We all have fears, dreams, lives, and skills. My sessions with each client vary according to their comfort levels and what they bring to the session. We’ll talk, laugh, and maybe even cry together as we explore and dissect the transition you’re navigating. Together, we’ll assess the skills, tools, and resources available and seek the best methods for you to move through your situation and come out stronger and more prepared for additional challenges on the other side.

    While I’m “no judgment,” I’m also no violence. Being accepting means I still have boundaries to keep you and me safe.
