Marin Can Now Sleep Easily -- New Sleep Consultant Sets up Practice in Novato

Sept. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Sleep specialist, Patty Tucker has joined the holistic wellness group at 9 Corners in Novato.  Patty has over 10 years’ experience helping individuals and organizations improve their sleep and thereby improve their energy, vitality, creativity and productivity.

“Sleep is 1/3rd of our lives,” Tucker says, “if it is not going well, the other 2/3rds are likely to suffer.” Poor sleep has been linked to hypertension, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, depression and cancer. Recent surveys by the National Sleep Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control have informed us that nearly 50% of Americans have difficulty with sleep at least a few nights per week.  Fully 20% of the workforce gets less than 6 hours of sleep weeknights; a level of sleep loss bordering on dangerous.

Insomnia, circadian rhythm problems, scheduling dysfunctions, medical conditions as well as family, work and environmental issues can all interfere with peaceful slumber.  While the results of a poor night of sleep can be felt immediately the next day, the root cause of a chronic sleep problem can be more difficult to discover. What to do about it can seem even more mysterious. Patty’s specialty is helping clients to unravel these complexities and craft pathways for developing better sleep patterns and a healthy relationship with sleep that can last a lifetime.

“Bringing my Sleep Coaching practice to 9 Corners just made perfect sense.” Tucker told us. “The other talented practitioners there are incredibly smart and supportive. They also truly understand how crucial healthy sleep is to a fully functional life.  Having the resources of the other modalities so close at hand is also a great advantage for my sleep clients.  If someone is having trouble sleeping because of tension and muscle stiffness, there’s a massage therapist in the next room. If pain is the problem, acupuncture, chiropractic, cranio-sacral and Feldenkrais practitioners are down the hall. Depression and anxiety may call for the input of a cognitive behavioral therapist, but she’s there, too.  With a nutritionist, neuro-muscular/trigger point specialist and reiki master also on staff, the full team is at the ready to address the whole client; top to bottom, inside and out, night and day…”

With all these specialists available to help, Marin County should  soon be back to sleeping well and living the dream!
