About Patti Allen
Patti Allen has a rich and varied background in the healing arts, education and public speaking. Certified as a Soul Coach® and Past Life Coach, Rubenfeld Synergist, Mentor and Reiki Master, Patti runs a successful private practice with a focus on “growing your soul”.
Patti has studied with healer, author and founder of the International Institute of Soul Coaching, Denise Linn. Patti’s private practice integrates the deep work of Soul Coaching® with dream work, the Rubenfeld Synergy Method® and the healing touch of Reiki to offer clients the tools to develop a grounded and balanced body, mind and spirit.
The Rubenfeld Synergy Method® (RSM) is a dynamic system that focuses on integration of the body and its relationship to feelings and emotions. RSM is the original model for this body-mind integration where body, mind, emotions and spirit are all part of the healing process. Developed by Ilana Rubenfeld over 40 years ago, RSM uses the Gestalt approach of “here and now” awareness, talk, gentle non-invasive touch, movement, visualization and imagination to move clients from “stuck” to a place of choice, healing and personal growth.
For ten years (1999-2008), Patti served on the teaching staff of Seneca College in Toronto in the field of Holistic Health. Patti developed and taught the only course on dreams offered by a college in the Greater Toronto Area.
Committed to building a dreaming society, Patti is trained and certified as a Dream Teacher in the Robert Moss School of Active Dreaming, which has its roots in shamanic dream practices. With a specialty in facilitating dream groups, she presents lectures and workshops on this subject. Patti’s dream groups follow the Ullman-Taylor model where participants, in an environment of safety and trust, share their dreams and imagine what they might mean “if it were my dream.” Just as often the groups may take the Shamanic approach of Robert Moss or the Foundation of Shamanic Studies, where the “dreamtime” is considered to be a valid reality, along side waking reality, with its own insights to be harvested. Any number of approaches to understanding dreams may be used, according to the needs and preference of the dreamers. While some dreamers love to analyze their dreams, others need to feel them, getting in touch with the dream’s essential message through feelings. Sometimes, creative, hands-on fun is the way to understand a dream. The variations are endless, but what never varies is the principle that the dreamer is the only true “expert” who can say what their dreams mean. Patti teaches you how to understand and work with your dreams.
Patti received her Master’s degree in Humanities where her research focused on dream healing in ancient Greece. Of particular interest to her, was the god of healing, Asklepios. In ancient Greece, people would go to the temple of the god to incubate a dream for healing. In other words, they would sleep on it! Asklepios would come to them in their sleep, in a dream, and they would awaken healed or with a prescription for healing. Worship of this god and these practices for healing lasted for over one thousand years! Patti has gathered and is currently exploring the integration of these ancient principles into the modern lives of today's dreamers.
Patti is an active member and former executive member of the International Association of Rubenfeld Synergists, and a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, and the International Association of Reiki Professionals. Patti currently serves as chair of the "TLC Divas", a committee of the Spirituelle Divas™, where support is provided to members who are facing a terminal diagnosis or long-term illness.
Patti has appeared as a frequent guest on television and radio where she teaches the public to work with their dreams; most recently, in a 13-week television series called “In Dreams”, on W Network and other stations.
