Warren has spent the last 25 years
pursuing the art of transformation and has dedicated her life to the
discovery, practice and teaching of universal truths of healing
throughout the world. She has a private practice in Franklin and

She is a graduate of the Bancroft School of Massage Therapy, a
licensed massage therapist and, since 1982, member of the American
Massage Therapy Association.
In 1986 she apprenticed with Guru Sewak Singh Khalsa, Director of
the Guru Ram Das Ashram, Sao Palo, Brazil. During this time she
practiced reflexology and energy massage while studying kundalini
yoga, numerology, meditation and the Sikh religion. She learned
Transcendental meditation, hatha yoga, Polarity and facial

Patricia was voted “most recommended Reiki Master in Massachusetts”
by Spirit of Change Holistic Magazine, reader’s poll.
She has been involved in Reiki since 1987 and a Reiki Master in the
lineage of Mrs. Takata since 1989. Her initiating Master was Kate
Nani of California. In 1993 Pat traveled to Germany for a meeting of
Reiki Masters worldwide. It was there she met Phyllis Furumoto,
Mrs.Takata’s granddaughter, who with Paul Mitchell was leading the
weeklong conference. In 1992, Patricia became the first American to
teach Reiki in Russia, Lithuania, Latvia and Ukraine by invitation
of the International Center for Professional Exchange in Moscow. She
has returned to the former Soviet Union thirteen times.
Patricia traveled extensively for two years, searching for the
origins of Reiki. She was guided to Australia where she began her
study of these rare, esoteric teachings of Reiki Jin Kei Do. It was
August 1995, during a month of intensive training as a Reiki Jin Kei
Do Master Teacher when she met Ranga Premaratna, Head of the
Lineage. She decided to pursue this path of healing which included
Vajrayana Buddhist teachings.
For the next six months, she practiced, organized and taught the
sacred information of Reiki Jin Kei Do and Buddho EnerSense,
integrating it into her life. She returned to continue her studies
in 1996 and 1998, was initiated into advanced Fourth Stage EnerSense
Master, and became the representative of Buddho EnerSense, Reiki Jin
Kei Do on the East Coast of the USA and Canada. She introduced this
lineage to thousands of students in Russia, London, Poland, Lebanon,
the Caribbean, and New England. Patricia co-authored and designed a
comprehensive program of training and study based in this lineage.
In 2005 she recorded and produced the first Reiki Jin Kei Do CD
titled, Reiki Jin Kei Do-The Way of Wisdom and Compassion.
In 2004, Patricia developed the training program “Empowering the
Caregiver” which has been distinguished by Women Healing Women of
the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity
School as an initiative worthy of development and sponsorship. This
workshop met rigorous requirements, exemplifying a project in which
women healers are taking a leadership role in promoting health. This
workshop is designed to educate physicians, nurses, home health
aids, homemakers and nursing aids, PCA’s about the power of
appropriate compassionate touch in their delivery of personal care
to patients. She was able to bring this to a variety of healthcare
facilities in Massachusetts including the New England Psychiatric
Nurses Association, MetroWest Hospital, Milford Hospital, Yankee
Dental Conference, Jewish Family Services, Visiting Nurses
Association and Rogerson House.
In 1999, Patricia became interested in Christian mysticism and
healing. She became a member of the Fellowship of St. John in
Cambridge, researched and studied Celtic/Christian Healing in
Ireland with several spiritual directors in Dingle and the Glenstall
Abbey, Limerick. She developed the Touch of Compassion-A Christian
Approach to Hands on Healing, which she offers at Ruah Spirituality
Institute, Adelynrood Conference Center, LaSalette Center for
Christian Living, and numerous Episcopal and Unitarian churches.
Several times a year she also co-leads “His Garment’s Hem” a
Christian Healing retreat with Brother Jonathan Maury SSJE at Emery
House, W. Newbury. Ma.
In 2006 Patricia delivered the homily, A Sermon on Healing, Tuesday
in Holy Week with the “Blessing of the Oils” at St. Paul’s
Cathedral, Boston, Ma. The service was for clergy as well as “all
people who have connections with healing ministries or vocations;
doctors, nurses, therapists, clinicians and others.” This homily was
published in “Healing Ministry” magazine’s Spring issue..
Patricia has been a Justice of the Peace, appointed by the governor,
since 1992. She offers traditional and alternative wedding
ceremonies throughout Massachusetts and specializes in unique,
personalized wedding vows and consultations.
Patricia has been leading GungFu style Chinese tea ceremonies since
1998. She studied from a tea master in Russia, and has presided more

reviving, will bring people together in peace and harmony within
themselves and throughout the world. She offers these meditative
ceremonies in Franklin, Watertown as well as Ruah Spirituality
Institute, Cambridge Adult Center for Education, Women’s Center for
Wellness, and private homes, senior centers and clubs.
