Gentle, Hands-On Therapies
Patti Corscaden, Licensed Massage Therapist, offers gentle, hands-on therapies that guide and enhance the body's natural healing energy.

Palliative Care Therapies
Tissues in the human body are constantly bathed in a circulating flow of healing fluids. To support and enhance the flow of these fluids, Patti integrates lymph drainage, craniosacral therapy, oncology massage, reiki, shiatsu, sound therapy, and chair massage.

For individuals challenged by disease, these palliative care therapies complement the treatments of conventional medicine. Medical massage, a type of Integrative Medicine(IM)* decreases pain, anxiety, depression, nausea, and promotes sleep and relaxation.

Sustain and Enhance Well-being
For people blessed with good health, massage helps sustain and enhance well-being.

Flexible Scheduling
Patti invites you to her Newcastle, Maine studio. For anyone receiving palliative care or Hospice, she offers visits in the comfort of your home, in clinical settings, assisted living facilities and hospitals.

"Integrative Medicine(IM) is healing-oriented medicine that takes account the whole person (body, mind, spirit), as well as all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate therapies, both conventional and complimentary. IM is not synonymous with alternative medicine or with CAM (complementary and alternative medicine.) It neither rejects medicine nor accepts alternative treatments uncritically."
