My fiancée surprised me with an at home session with Patricia. I've was in construction for the better part of a decade, am a Brazilian jiu jitsu practitioner and a strength trainer. My body needs deep tissue work and acupressure therapy like Jack needed something to float on. And it's actually quite rare that I find someone who is able to use the right pressure in the right ways that would allow my body to heal. I've only ever known two therapists that are on par with Patricia and they both moved out of state. Patricia is among the very top of those who are able to accomplish the work that someone like me needs. I would highly recommend her services - especially if you are a person who is experiencing tightness and possible tissue scarring from a highly active lifestyle. read more

Patricia is not just a fantastic masseuse, she has the energy and vibe of a wonderful person

Patricia is a very intuitive and empathic masseuse who knew exactly what I needed just by our initial meeting. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable immediately and took great care of me for the hour we had together. I look forward to experiencing her massage treatments in the future. read more

When I met Patricia I was not sure about the energy but the more we talked I wanted to work with her. She is extremely chatty and a little to personal. Needs to organize but most of all listen to her clients needs. I also found that she drifts a little too much into your personal life . I do not recommend her. read more

I have seen Patricia many times over the years and I always leave a session grateful for her amazing skills. She has both great technique and intuition. She creates a custom blend of essential oils that heals and soothes. Her office is lovely and calms you as step in the door. I have also had the joy of experiencing her hot stone therapy and I am looking forward to a new treatment with bamboo! There are many massage therapist available - and all offer somethings, Patricia is one who offers all the pieces: care, technique, stretching, healing, education and peace. Thank you Patricia! read more

Wow! Came to our house on our anniversary and gave my wife and I both massages. My wife was especially impressed with her "side technique" because she is pregnant. The convenience and relaxation were fantastic. I actually fell asleep for a small part of the massage because of how relaxed I was. Can't really beat that! I would highly recommend her! read more

Patricia listens. That's #1 and worth everything. Want a soft touch? Done. Need deep work on a problem place? Done. She listens to your voice , and uses her intuition to get the places you didn't know you needed. She's a genuine and straight forward person, and makes you feel welcome and taken care of from hello. read more

Patricia is excellent. I get weekly massages no matter where I am. It's my stress reliever. I have had massages some of the best spa's in Napa, Sonoma, New York, Big Sur - all over. Patricia Bernard is one of the best practitioners out there. Even though she gives me massages on a regular basis, every time I see her, she asks how my body is doing and where I need the most attention. Patricia is totally reliable, and always professional. Plus, having Patricia come to my home is actually more affordable than going to a spa! She worked on me all through my pregnancy and adjusted her technique to the changing needs of my body. She's the best. You can't go wrong with Patricia. If I could give 6 stars, I would. read more

I'm a self-proclaimed 'massage-junkie' and have been prioritizing massages for my health and well-being for thirty-five years. As such, have had some of the best practitioners in several major world capitals. Patricia ranks up with the best of the best. I love how her work can be as deep-tissue as anyone would ever need, and also nurturing and/or gentle when that is what's called for. I recommend her unequivocally, as in addition to all her professional skills, she is a fantastic human being, whose mere presence is a balm to soothe my modern-day angst. read more

Patricia provides a highly effective massage and a quality experience. I love that she is flexible in the focus and style of the bodywork she provides me each week at our regular appointment. (I cannot stand the often formulaic repetitive massages some practitioners offer). She happily listens to and then addresses my aches or pains in a specific way each session leaving me relaxed and feeling better in my body. I have recommended Patricia to several people and all have been really happy with her work so I know she is good at adapting to different people's wants and needs. read more

I have known Patricia for many years now. As a local chiropractor I see a lot of patients and everyone that works with Patricia Loves her. I would never hesitate to send a patient to her for tissue work. Not only is she a GREAT CMT she's just an awesome person as well. Whether your working on an injury or just need a great massage Call Patricia Bernard. I approve this message from Dr. Brian Thalhamer, DC read more

I have been seeing Patricia weekly for six months now. Never miss an appointment, if possible. She has helped me with chronic pain in my shoulder and arm. She has improved my overall well being. In addition to her therapeutic skills, Patricia is a very bright and kind person with a lot of interesting ideas about life. I highly recommend Patricia. read more

Patricia does bimonthly massage for myself and my husband. She is awesome! I met her just when I was getting discouraged that there were no good masseuses out there any more. She is always on time, understands the body, has great intuitive sense as to places you need more work and is open to feedback and suggestions. She's extremely kind and caring. My husband and I feel better than we have in a while since we have committed to twice per month. She is a great addition to our already active lifestyle, hiking, yoga, etc. I highly recommend her. read more

I am so grateful to have found the services of Patricia Bernard. I can tell you with certainty that Patricia is a bodywork professional of the highest caliber. As someone who suffers from chronic neck and back pain due to previous sports injuries, I need routine deep tissue work that requires a very technical skill set. Not only is Patricia highly skilled in multiple disciplines of massage, she is also an extremely intuitive and well-rounded body worker, who has incorporated elements of assisted stretching, cranial sacral and aroma therapy into our sessions together, to create a wonderful experience with amazing results. Not to mention the fact that she is a very kind, genuine and compassionate person, a true healer. read more

Today I had my third massage by Patricia. I feel so energized from it. She is excellent. She listens to my body and knows when it's too much pressure or not enough. I have a severe case of scoliosis and she is able to reduce the pain I have from it. She is very accommodating when making an appointment. I highly recommend her. Peggy read more

My body was beaten up from a lot of home improvement work and after 2 weeks of that I desperately needed some massage. I got a 90 minute session from Patricia for a very reasonable $105 as a first time client. Her massage skills were very strong, generally I would rate her very highly as a massage therapist with a general sports massage / deep tissue approach. She has a smart, gentle touch but can go deep -- as needed. I would definitely return and see her again, part of her work that is good is: she is a nice, practical, caring person who wants to give a good massage without too much new-age mumbo jumbo. I also had a delightful conversation with her, a genuinely nice professional person. read more

Patricia's practice spans decades which is readily apparent when under her massage care. Bridging highly refined abilities and techniques with a fresh and invigorated manner is worth every moment with her! She offers a wide range of pressure levels which I like and when she applies her cranial sacral therapy, well that's it for me. Deep rest follows. It simply doesn't get any better. I understand mobile scheduling is offered but I've always gone to Patricia's office which is conveniently located and so so restful. Patricia is a gem. I highly recommend her services. read more

I've been searching for a new CMT since mine relocated. I never in a million years(or, is it a bazillion years?) thought that I could find someone as good as she was. Today was my second session with Patricia and let me tell you, she's even better. She is the real deal! read more

Patricia was gentle and strong at the right times and places. She values communication and this helps with the quality of the massage. She tuned into where I needed the most attention and so i got a very good massage. She noticed that my neck was out of alignment and i asked for a chiropractor recommendation. I ended up going to him and got an excellent adjustment. Thanks! read more

I started seeing Patricia when I was pregnant. She is well educated and has a wonderful energy. Her 90 minute sideline pregnancy massage that included the warm wood took care of all my healing needs. She moves flawlessly from light to deep pressure depending on my needs. She always does a check in before we start so she can pin point what part(s) of my body needs a little more attention. My husband and mother in law also see her. We have seen her at her studio and she has come to our homes. Her prices are very reasonable. read more

Patricia is one of the best! I highly recommend her bodywork.

I saw Patricia recently as I was complaining of some hip joint pain and she did a fabulous job of isolating where it was originating from and with her skillful hands was able to massage out my aches and pains. I felt refreshed and renewed by the end of the session. The aromatherapy she used was awesome, too. You can tell she has had many years of practice and offered additional advice on ways to improve my overall health. I highly recommend her services and learned she also has a mobile spa that will come to my home. That's a fabulous option for someone as busy as I am. Her experience clearly makes a difference. read more

I called Patricia after finding her on Yelp and she actually answered and met with me a few hours later so I could buy a gift certificate from her for a friend. Very Professional and new immediately I had made the right choice for a friend of mine. Highly recommended read more

Patricia is incredible. We found her on yelp and had her come to our vacation rental home today for four 90-min massages. We get monthly massages in our home in SF so believe we have a high standard. Patricia provides great individualized massage - cares deeply about what each person wants and tailors her approach to deep tissue, stretching-heavy, or spa-like massages depending on what is desired. She also brings a lot of extra touches that recreated a spa feel in our home - aroma therapy, candles, spa water. The biggest compliment is that we had 90 min massages... and all wished they were longer. Would recommend Patricia to anyone. read more

I have been seeing Patricia for massage for several years now. I generally choose to have a 90 minute massage and always come away feeling like the tension in my body has melted away. I bruise easily and have had previous issues with this from massage therapists - but never with Patricia. She has tremendous knowledge of the body and skillfully applies various massage techniques to improve range of movement and release tension. She is also a wonderful, caring person who is truly interested in each of her clients. I always leave feeling great and wondering why I don't go more often! Love your new mobile spa and plan to use it in the future - perhaps for a spa party! read more

The best. Seriously. Patricia will listen to your requests and has magic fingers! Highly recommend both in home and at her location.
