Patricia A Taran, LMP

I don’t regularly get massages, but enough to know Patricia is very talented! I tried her out with a Groupon, but will go back and happily pay full price. She genuinely seemed concerned with my medical history to ensure she was attentive to those areas. Very relaxing! Plus, she’s also an awesome lady to talk to– we ended up chatting for almost an hour before the massage. It’s always odd for me to be touched by random strangers for a massage, but she helped put me at ease. Highly recommended.

From chain companies to private clinics, I have had massages from hundreds of people. I like to get them weekly and I feel like a million bucks as a result and have zero physical issues.
When I was searching for a new therapist, I found Patricia just down the road from me and I haven’t looked back since!
There are so many great reviews on here and only two with 1 star. One of them even says the massage was fine, they just weren’t happy with her personality. My take on the hundreds of massages I’ve gotten in my lifetime are that when I lay down on the bed, you don’t talk to me because I’m paying for you to soothe my body. With Patricia, it’s not like that. She’s one of the few I’ve ever wanted to have a conversation with during my massage.
We all have our bad days and she seems to gauge when I’m in a mood and just takes me away with her talents as a LMP. I’ve never once felt that she was being passive aggressive, however I can see fellow Seattlelites being put off by her thick New York accent.
Give her a try. Putting 1 star Unilocal reviews on a very small business is not fair. Especially when it’s on something irrelevant and not on the actual goods or services being sold.

After trying out many massage therapists and feeling deeply frustrated, I discovered Patricia a few months ago and now I have no desire to go elsewhere. She is an amazing massage therapist and healer. She is intuitive, a great listener and knew exactly how to work with the issues I have. It’s the first time in a long time I walked away with relief. I have been back to her a few times now and am impressed with how much she knows, her wide range of skills and her ability to pull out new techniques each time that I’ve never experienced. It just gets better and better every time I go. I would highly recommend her and will continue to go to her as often as I can.

Read a few good reviews, and my husband and I was looking for a new massage therapist. So I bought a Groupon to try her out! I called to book appt for my husband first and the first few sentence out of her I didn’t feel any good vibes. I caught her at a bad time because she told me she was very busy and I wasn’t able to answer her questions quickly. If she was so busy she should of left call to VM. She told me her next available appointment was in 3 weeks. I looked on her on line appointment schedule and she had quite a few appointments available within a week! Unless there are so many slots available for Groupon holders/​potential new clients? No good vibes from the start of our conversation to the end, I quickly received a credit from Groupon! !

The massage itself was fine, but I would not recommend going to Patricia. Throughout our interactions, she made quite a few passive aggressive remarks that made my overall experience quite unpleasant, especially given the vulnerability of being naked under a blanket and trusting a relative stranger with your body.

Patricia was friendly and professional. Her experience shows as she was very in tune with me and my body not just going through the motions. She takes her job seriously. Highly recommended.

Patricia is a truly gifted healer with an amazing touch and a wide repertoire of techniques and skill.
Often, I know in the first minutes of a massage if this is a healing, resonating experience (for me) — it always is with Patricia!
Give yourself the gift of a massage with Patricia if you want the experience of total body deep relaxation.

Had my first massage with Patricia. The difference between the way I felt going in and how I felt when she was finished was amazing! I felt refreshed and able to move more freely.
Patricia is extremely thorough and professional. She is very knowledgeable in so many natural healing processes. During my service, she added several special techniques to help get my circulation moving again. Overall, it was a pleasant, relaxing and healing experience.
I will be back for more! I have already referred her to several friends who also enjoyed her «handy» work :-)
