Nicole Patterson, CMT, C-MLD, S4OMPP (Society for Oncology Massage Prefer Practitioner) Massage Therapist
I’m fascinated by the human body and strongly believe in the healing potential of intentional, mindful touch.
Deep tissue work had once been my bodywork go-to, yet during my formal education I discovered how profoundly a gentle, intentional touch can support the body’s natural healing processes. This realization set me on a new path—one that ultimately led me to receiving a certificate in the Vodder Method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies with advanced training in Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Oncology.
I am also a Preferred Practitioner with the Society for Oncology Massage (S4OM), an organization dedicated to "supporting the safe delivery of massage therapy and esthetics for people living with cancer, promoting oncology massage and esthetics education standards, and collaborating in research."
“Deep tissue work had always been my bodywork go-to, yet during my formal education I experienced how a gentle touch can have a profound impact on the body.”
Oncology massage is especially close to my heart. Having gone through cancer myself, I know how important it is to receive safe, informed massage from a trusted and properly trained source. My personal cancer journey has only deepened my passion for offering compassionate, knowledgeable care to others navigating similar experiences.
I am committed to providing the highest standard of care by staying up-to-date with the latest advances in lymphatic health and oncology massage therapy, through continuous learning and professional growth.
