At Wellness Rising, founder and Integrative Occupational Therapist Patti Daniel is dedicated to creating a bridge between traditional rehabilitation and holistic healing. Her mission is to support individuals in reconnecting with their bodies, restoring function, and finding lasting wellness—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

We provide integrative occupational therapy services primarily for adults, with adolescents and children seen on a case-by-case basis. Our approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, combining evidence-based practice with complementary healing techniques.

Patti’s signature offering, ZenSomatics, is a unique somatic healing practice that blends body awareness with Reiki energy therapy to help calm the nervous system and support holistic integration. She also specializes in ScarWork Therapy, a gentle hands-on technique that helps restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve postural alignment. Her innovative method, ScarTalk, combines ScarWork with somatic dialogue to explore and heal the emotional experiences connected to physical scars, injuries, and surgeries.

With nearly three decades of experience, Patti is especially passionate about working with individuals managing chronic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and physical or emotional trauma. She also provides skilled therapy for pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation, strength and endurance training, nervous system regulation for clarity and focus, and ergonomic or home safety consultations.

At Wellness Rising, we believe healing is a collaborative journey—and when body, mind, and spirit are supported together, profound transformation is possible.
