Our therapy sessions offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space to explore what’s coming up for you—emotionally, physically, or relationally. Whether you’re working through anxiety, trauma, grief, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we use somatic (body-based) and client-led approaches that help you process your experiences and rebuild trust in yourself.

You don’t have to navigate your healing alone. We're here to walk with you at your own pace.

Herbal Consultations

Personalized plant-based support for whole-body wellness.

Herbs are not one-size-fits-all. During a consultation, we explore your physical symptoms, emotional patterns, and daily routines to craft a custom herbal protocol designed just for you.

Whether you're seeking support for your immune system, digestion, hormones, or emotional balance, we help you build a relationship with the plants that meet you where you are.

Initial 2-hour consultation: $160
Follow-up consultations: $80

Massage Therapy or CFT? What's the difference?

Your body holds the stories, stress, and survival patterns you’ve carried—often long after your mind has moved on. Our bodywork offerings are designed to help you release, reconnect, and regulate through compassionate, trauma-informed touch.

Whether you're seeking deep restoration or gentle unwinding, our sessions meet you where you are, honoring what your body is ready to let go of—and what it’s still holding with care.

We offer two unique approaches to bodywork— massage therapy and Craniosacral Fascia Therapy. Let's figure out which is the best option for you.

Craniosacral Facia Therapy (CFT)

CFT uses light, hands-on touch to release tension in the fascia and craniosacral system—the networks that hold both physical and emotional stress. This subtle but powerful therapy is safe for all ages and especially supportive for those with sensory sensitivity, anxiety, or birth and developmental trauma.

Rather than “fixing,” CFT creates space for the body to restore its own natural rhythm.

Here’s What Our Clients Are Saying

Katy Johnson | Herbal Consultation

“Working with Patti was an experience like no other. Her attention to detail and ability to pick up on habits and tendencies I had never noticed in my self was truly eye-opening. Having an outside perspective on my life has changed so much and my day-to-day is so much more fulfilling after just one session!”

Darby Campbell| Craniosacral Facia Therapy

I had my first ever CFT session with Patti about a month ago and I was absolutely blown away by the results. I immediately felt so relaxed and the results lasted for weeks! One of the specific things I noticed was how relaxed my forehead and brow area was and also that some of the expression lines on my face smoothed out! Needless to say, I’m hooked and I one thousand percent recommend seeing Patti!!!


Alyssia Bushue | Bodywork with Patti

There aren’t enough words to explain how much we love getting bodywork done by Patty. Our whole family has been seen by her. She has made such a difference in all the tension I’ve had in my body. I’ve adjusted how I carry myself from what she has told me and it has helped me tremendously in preventing tension and discomfort. From the first moment my son met her and talked with her, he immediately grew fond of her. And he’s usually not quick to do so. She respected his boundaries and it showed in his trust. We are so grateful for Patty. The best CFT in north Alabama!

Christina Biggs | Bodywork with Patti

From the moment I arrived at Fern Counseling and Natural Medicine, there was a sense of peace and calm that just eases tension immediately. The environment is warm and inviting and Patti is so welcoming and friendly. Patti has performed both a craniofascial massage and a deep tissue massage on me and both have been amazing! She is professional and listens to your problems to help you decide what is best for you. She also understands the body well and can adjust pressure and tension as needed… and she is GREAT with children. If you have headaches, body aches, or just need stress relief, I highly recommend Patti for your next massage!

Morgan Ardy | Bodywork with Patti

My family and I have been seeing Patti for massage therapy and CFT for a while now. Every time I go to her I feel mentally and physically rejuvenated and usually come away with words of wisdom and helpfulness. She listens well to where my pain is and also makes suggestions to help other issues. She is well versed in herbs and natural living, too! She works wonders with kids; I have a child with a heart defect and every time he sees her he says he feels better and calmer in his “noisy brain” (ADHD) and, he can breathe better! For that, I am eternally grateful. She is warm and welcoming, but also professional and knowledgeable. Patti has healing hands! I recommend her to all my friends and family. We are so blessed by her and the healing she and Lauren provide at Fern is a blessing to our community. It is such a comfortable and cozy environment! Thank you, Fern!
