I have been going here for post surgery weekly lymphatic massages following a tummy tuck and she is amazing! She really is helping bring down my swelling and helping me heal really well. I always feel great after my lymphatic massages! She's so knowledgeable and so good at her job that I know I'm in good hands each time I go! I highly recommend going here for post surgery or for any other reasons that you might need lymphatic massage like lymphedema etc! read more

I made an appointment with Kitsap Lymphatic Massage (KLM) because I needed to alleviate muscle spasms due to scar tissue from a breast cancer lumpectomy and lymph node dissection I underwent 7 years ago. I chose KLM because it had "lymph" in its title. What I received has far exceeded my expectations. Patricia Little, LMT, doesn't just focus on a body part, she orchestrates the whole body: muscles, lymphatic fluid, nerves, and brain function. The results have been nothing short of transformational: GI system has improved, reduction in chemo-triggered neuropathy, brain fog is notably clearing and, of course my scar tissue spasms are subsiding, among other improvements. Sincerely, Patricia is an answer to my prayers for improved health and healing. I am so grateful to God for leading me to LMT. read more

I made an appointment with Patricia hoping we'd work on my brain. She asked me if I had anything that I wanted her to work on and I said well my neck kind of hurts, but I was hoping we could work on something else. The pain in my neck seemed like such a trivial thing. I should've known better. The neck was connected to everything. I had gone on a massive hike and hurt my knee so I was using a stick to get down the mountain, gripping the stick with all my might to get down the hill. Kind of long witted way of saying even when you think it's a small thing Patricia is great at discovering everything connected to it so that you feel better everywhere! read more

I have been wearing expensive custom orthotics with sturdy indoor and outdoor shoes for my plantar fasciitis for 12 years. My feet would cramp or flare up easily, and I could never run more than a mile or sprint uphill. I am an active individual who goes to boot camps regularly and other active activities so I have been accumulating quite a bit of tight muscles over the years. You can imagine the look of my face when I first came into the massage office for pain treatment and was told that I should get rid of the orthotics because they made my feet stiff and caused more pain! I got some deep massage treatment which resulted in a pair of much relaxed feet. And I agreed to try phasing out my orthotics and slowly build up my feet muscles. Months later, I had completely stopped using my orthotics, wear very minimal shoes and run short distances occasionally. This is really incredible! Anahata is a very passionate healer and has a holistic approach. Her sessions are often intense and focused but always leave you relaxed and improved. She also educates you on how to maintain correct posture and ways to do effective home exercises to minimize your pain. I've 'graduated' from my feet problem and now onto the treatment of my inflamed piriformis muscles. I'm looking forward to regain my mobility and flexibility in every part of my body I never thought possible. I highly recommend Anahata to anyone who wants to effectively manage their pain and improve their quality of life. read more

I love Anahata! Before seeing her, I used to jump around with different massage therapists. With her, I find I she provides everything I need...a great knowledge of the body's soft tissues, an excellent ability to tune in to what my body needs in that moment through listening and touch, and a great personality! I always feel fantastically revived after each visit. I highly recommend her if you want someone who truly understands the science of the body and/or if you just want to be massaged into relaxation!! PS. Anahata also discovered a problem I was having with a tight neck that I had been seeing a chiropractor for. When no one else could identify the problem, Anahata's knowledge of soft tissues (not just muscle) figured it out, which relieved me of some serous pain that I had been struggling with for months. read more

I like very personalized body work. Anahata is a very skilled and knowledgable massage therapist. She works on a whole different level, employing different healing modalities of treatment. Most recently, I had work done specific to a broken radius bone and the recovery around that area. My forearm and wrist were swollen, and after treatment, the swelling reduced, scare tissue softened, and another 25% of flexibility was gained. Anahata is a rock star, she really approaches body work as an art form, contributing her skill and intuition to your healing. read more

The best massage therapist I've worked with since my 1992 motorcycle accident. Believe me, I've tried so many massage therapists and I'm so thankful that I've finally found a real healer that can truly help me work through all my physical issues (and the emotional issues that are associated/trapped under years of neglected old injuries). I first saw Anahatha after I returned to work from a maternity leave and was dealing with new problems caused by gaining 75lbs during the pregnancy, structural change due to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. She is kind, compassionate, and loving and created a completely safe environment for me to really let go and allow her to work on many of the painful areas that I've been guarding for years. She even helped me loosen up my chest area (most massage therapist are too afraid to touch a woman's body in the chest area even for healing purposes). I was able to breath so much better and deeper ever since. I won't go into details on everything she has done to help me but please trust that when I say she is the best, you won't find anyone close to her caliber. Because Anahatha herself has been through a bad accident and had to go through a very tough healing process herself, she is sympathetic and knows exactly how to help someone seeking the same type of help. I am really grateful that Anahatha is in my life. read more

I discovered Anahata after having a cervical fusion. I had opted for surgery after suffering from a severe herniated disk for six months. My surgeon had just cleared me for light activity and prescribed massage and physical therapy to aid my recovery. Anahata spent a great deal of time discussing my medical history before even touching my body. She took the severity of my injury with the utmost seriousness and insisted on fully understanding my situation so she could administer the correct techniques to help me heal. After our first session my range of motion was greatly increased, my pain was diminished and my scar was noticeably improved. She also takes the time to explain what she is doing and what I can do myself to aid my healing and avoid re-injury. Her treatments have improved my progress in physical therapy and made my every day tasks much easier. She is truly a healer. read more

I'm a bus driver and spend hours in a seated position, which causes a lot of strain in my neck, back, hips, and legs. I managed with the pain for years, but in the last 6 years is when it became chronic. I've seen several massage therapies during this time, but I only got temporary relief and quickly the pain returned. I was referred by my last therapies to Anahata. The first couple sessions with her was really intense, but each time I felt better and better. I started to regain mobility throughout my body. The intensity of my pain has greatly diminished. And I started to felt like my old self. I just wanted to share my story and to tell people that you don't have to settle for any doctor or health care provider that isn't giving you the care you need or want. I got lucky and found a true diamond in Anahata. read more

I have been seeing Anahata for about 2 years. Not only is she physically capable of helping with my complaints, but she is able to help me explore and find the stressors I carry around that exacerbate them. Yes, I feel more mobile, flexible, relaxed and "blissed out" after her treatments, but the reason I think she is an exceptional health practitioner is because she reminds me of the things I need to do everyday to continue to be physically, mentally and emotionally healthy. 3 weeks ago, I went in for carpal tunnel syndrome from carrying my little one around and she addressed how to hold my little one, how to position my hands when I sleep and I am symptom free. As a health practitioner myself, I value that she addresses the root cause and not merely bandages symptoms with massage. I am grateful to have found Anahata. read more

Patricia is a true healer. And how incredibly fortunate we are to have her working on Bainbridge Island and Seattle. I came to Patricia with severe neck pain and TMJ from several car accidents. I have also had 3 back surgeries and plenty of metal and rods in my back. So between the neck pain and the back pain and without body treatment for years, I was in severe pain and discomfort. I have had 5 treatments with Patricia. My neck and face pain has reduced significantly, so much so I am truly jumping for joy. My back is much better (very exciting!) and I walked out of Patricia's office the other day and actually skipped through the Safeway. Patricia uses intense body work treatments that are intuitive, highly skilled, "knowing," and exceptional in all ways. If you have pain from an accident, chronic pain or illness, Patricia is a "must" to help your body reach best equilibrium and heal. Patricia, thank you for sharing your gift with me and my body. I feel incredibly blessed to have found you and look forward to a continued healing partnership with you. read more

Anahata has been a godsend in helping me recover from a car accident. I have seen her several times a month for the past year and she is one of the most knowledgeable and skilled masseuses that I have ever worked with. Because she has extensive experience with a variety of massage techniques, she is able to tailor the massage to where your body is that day. I have referred numerous friends and family to her and cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you. read more

I have struggled with chronic low back pain for years, which gets aggravated from time to time by strain due to my job as an RN lifting patients. It was brought to the worst pain I have experienced with it this year when I fell in the OR and went into spasm that left me using sick time multiple days from work. Patricia was going to just be another one of the many massage therapists to find temporary relief from all that pain, but boy was I wrong! Her work is with the total body, mind, and spirit connection. I'm not used to being so open with someone, but her offices (I have been to both her Bainbridge and Seattle practice) are clean, welcoming, comfortable, and warm. She uses an approach of soft tissue work and muscle activation to really release tender spots deeper than any specialist before has been able to help relieve. Her guided meditation and deep breathing exercises woven into the session have helped me reconnect with my own awareness of self and deeply heal. Patricia also gave me some wonderful resources for a good physical therapist, at home relaxation material, a chiropractor, and even cold remedy when I showed up for an appointment with a cold! I thought this back pain was just a part of my life, but with help from Patricia and her network of great care providers, I am feeling relief and more at peace with myself than ever before! I am so thankful to her for her caring touch and holistic approach. read more
