Rev. Patia began her spiritual studies, at the age of 19,  after a serious freeway accident brought an awakening and ignited an ambition to find her Path.  Her first studies involved the nature of her dreams, symbol interpretation and the realm of psychic phenomena and was quickly followed by the study of Christian mysticism, Shamanism, the Arcane intuitive arts of Tarot, Astrology, Numerology, Palmistry, alternative healing arts, and Eastern religions.  Rev. Patia has been a practitioner for over 35 years!

In 1980 she studied Therapeutic Touch with Sandra Weber, RN and later took over the instruction of TT as a non-accredited class through Clackamas Community College.

In 1981 Patia earned her Oregon State Massage Therapy license and participated in a year of hypnotherapy studies with James Howard, CHT.   

In 1986 she enrolled in courses of Egyptian Huna with Nikki Skully of Eugene, OR and participated in the Golden Cauldron Journey work, a technique she continued using for many years.  Shortly afterward she was introduced to the Peralandra Medical Assistance Program (MAP) by MS Wright, and has shared this book and process with hundreds of people along the way.  Patia was introduced to John Hammer, a full body channel in Portland and became part of the core group dedicated to healing circles, workshops and visionary counseling.  During her work with John, she began to discover a hidden talent for working within the subatomic Life Web and named this process Light Grid Fusion.  In 1992 she moved from her native Portland, Oregon to Sandpoint, Idaho with the group intending to build an off-grid community.  It was here in Sandpoint's Heartland Bookstore that Patia began offering free/donational counsel to the public at large. Plans, however, did not proceed as hoped and the group disbanded, after moving again in August 1994 to Whitefish, Montana. During this tumultuous time, she continued her study and application of hands on healing, and symbolic counseling, and was ordained  in the Universal Life Church, September of 1994. 

From May 1996 through June 1997, she co-sponsered The Open Forum in Kalispell, Montana, a platform allowing a diversity of practitioners to showcase their professional talents.  Shamanic drum  circles and Tone/ Sound Healing sessions were conducted regularly and well attended also.

In 1999 she travelled to Egypt and participated in ceremony and ritual within the Giza Plateau, Sphinx, Pyramids and the Nile temples.  And in 2000 she co-authored The Inner Dimensional Reflection Project with  partner, Rev. Roger Poor.  In 2002, Patia and Roger visited the United Kingdom to search out their roots and enjoy the magic of sacred sites and ancient places and conducted Angelic Gate ceremonies at several locations.  During this same time period, Patia offered her skills as a counselor and instructor at Aure's Crystal Rainbow, metaphysical resource and gift store in Kalispell.

In 2007, Rev. Patia wrote the booklet Jump-Right-In Tarot, designed to help those who want to use the symbolic system of Tarot for their own edification but lack the courage to trust their intuitive process.  Tarot Symposiums, based on her book, have been held both publically and privately throughout the local region.   Ideas of writing a sequel that concentrates on the 22 major arcana archetypes to add to the original book are being considered.
