Teacher and mentor
Harriet Goslins, Originator, Cortical Field Reeducation(R):
"Patrice Hamilton draws on a rich background of counseling skills and combines that with a unique blend of humor, warmth, honesty and compassion. Her sensitive yet effective touch in table work and her clear, calming voice in floor work never judge, only support. Guided by her steadfast energy, people find their path of healing."
Students who received both private table lessons and weekly CFR movement classes:
"After just one class, my hips felt freer than they had in years! Patrice's classes completely changed my whole attitude about my body and opened my eyes to the possibility of body movement without pain or limitation. Through Patrice's encouragement to self-explore through movement, I was able to release literally years of tension that I was totally unaware I even had! After having individual work, through Patrice's table lessons I began to 'know' what proper, healthy movement is and how efficient movement of one's body leaves more energy for the rest of life! I'm a convert and highly recommend both Patrice and her work to anyone who desires to get reacquainted with their bodies; how they move and to see the potential we all have within."

"The classes have taught me how to deal with my hip/thigh pain to make it bearable. Yesterday I had a private table session with Patrice, and today I experienced no pain in my leg at all! Prior to meeting Patrice I had my internist, a chiropractor, a pain specialist, a surgeon and a plethora of x-rays, MRIs and injections, all to no avail. I personally recommend Patrice's work if you are experiencing any discomfort in your body. She has an incredible understanding of the body and how it should work for our benefit."

"I began working with Patrice because of chronic lower back and hip pain. I had tried many different kinds of exercise over the last 20 years and nothing seemed to work. Patrice began with a few private table lessons and then moved me into floor exercise classes. I began to notice a difference in the way I felt both physically and emotionally. My lower back and hips began to loosen up and feel more fluid and my frame of mind seemed lighter. The chronic pain has since subsided, and I am now able to move about more freely thanks to the exercises I have learned. Patrice is very passionate and knowledgeable and facilitates in a very compassionate way. I highly recommend her services."
