Patti works with progressive, people focused companies to administer Emotional Freedom Technique and teach Reiki as a stress relief tool. Time is allocated either monthly or weekly for Patti to be on-site. She designs the program to suit each company profile by offering meditation classes, one-to-one EFT and Reiki levels 1 & 2. Working closely with HR, Patti offers solutions to stress rather than coping mechanisms to manage stress within the workplace.
