Bio: Patsy Deerhake, M. Ed., Wellness Educator/Coach with Wellness Within Reach is passionate about empowering women who are juggling career, household and family to create the time and energy to get the lives they want and deserve. She labels these women “Superwomen” and admits to being a “recovering” Superwoman herself. According to Patsy, you don’t have to be a mom to be a superwoman. Women tend to be socialized to be caregivers and women without children are often caring for other family members. Patsy works with clients to give up their frazzled, harried lifestyles and achieve greater quality of life. In the process, clients start engaging in improved self-care as well.
Patsy has developed, The Superwoman’s Guide to Getting What You Want Without Losing What’s Important, a report that outlines a six step process to help women assess what they want in their lives and take an initial step forward. This report may be accessed on her website www.wwrcoach.com.
Prior to establishing her coaching business, Patsy spent ten years providing wellness education primarily at Mount Carmel Corporate Health and Wellness serving a variety of corporate clients. She also provided coaching services for two years at Hummingbird Coaching and worked eight years as an Employee Assistance Program Counselor.
Patsy offers a range of programs and services including telephonic individual wellness coaching, group wellness coaching (onsite or via teleconference) and wellness education. Patsy writes a weekly blog, “Choose well…” at www.wwrcoach/blog.

About A Quiet Space
I consider it a blessing to have a career that I thoroughly enjoy. I used to envy my husband, working in his bike shop and helping others appreciate their bicycles. That was when I was working in a corporate sales environment that was never short on opportunities for stress.
I was trained to be a high school math teacher. But an opportunity to work at IBM was too good to pass up. I worked in technical support, sales, management and consulting, and even had a chance to use my interest in teaching at an executive briefing center. I enjoyed the people, and many of the clients and projects I worked on. But as expressed on my home page, I found that the work took priority. I didn’t control my time and take care of me. I didn’t have enough down time, think time, exercise time, or even eat-right time!
One thing that I did do that helped me tremendously was to commit to a regular yoga class, and get massages. I asked my therapists a lot of questions about their training and how they liked their work. The discussions helped me realize that I had a profound interest in learning more about health and wellness. I also wanted to practice better self-care and stress management.
About the time that corporations were emerging from their year 2000 projects, the work available to me was not in my strike zone. I took an opportunity to leave my secure job and pursue a new career.
It soon became evident that this was my chance to spend full time exploring my interest in wellness. I completed an intensive one-year program in massage therapy at the American Institute of Alternative Medicine. I also knew that I wanted to get back to teaching, and was hired at the school. I have been teaching Business, Professional Development & Ethics, and I also tutor in anatomy and physiology.
After passing my State Medical Board exam, I opened my own practice. I called my business “a quiet space” to honor the need we all have for quiet, relaxing time to be calm, think, or meditate. I soon found a business partner, and together we formed Ohio Massage Therapy Professionals, an organization that focuses on corporate chair massage and other multi-therapist offerings.
My goal for "a quiet space" is to provide support for your wellness journey. I hope to not only provide excellent massage services to promote your health, but also, through my classroom offerings and this site, to help you find a space where you can be calm…..relaxed…….breathe deeper, and find a healthful balance in your life.
