I will forever be your client!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisa P.&lt;br /&gt;Seattle, WA&lt;br /&gt;5 star rating&lt;br /&gt;11/12/2008&lt;br /&gt;Patti is amazing. I started engaging in facials about 3 months ago. I've been going regularly and she has taken YEARS off my face. Her touch is great, and I love the 2+ hour facial that relaxes my entire body. Her place is well appointed, very zen and the products she uses are wonderful, natural and so good for my dosha. She is deeply in tune with Ayuvedic treatments and is an amazing bargain for her knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kitty B.&lt;br /&gt;Seattle, WA&lt;br /&gt;5 star rating&lt;br /&gt;06/17/2008&lt;br /&gt;I have been a customer of Patti's since 1991, she does a great job on my brow and eyelash tint, a true artist. Currently I'm doing a series of beautifying treatments called Glycolic Peels, I've gotten so many complements on my skin lately. Patti has also done wonders for my son's back acne. Patti is the medicine woman of beauty, she has a nose for all scents, as well as product knowledge for whatever you need! This is a friendly private Gem of a spa located in the heart of Fremont!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;City Search Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patti has created a Relaxing and Comfortable Atmosphere and her work delivers amazing results!&lt;br /&gt;11/13/2008 Posted by Wabil&lt;br /&gt;I have been to numerous spas around the world and around the Puget Sound area and can honestly say that the treatments and personal attention that Patti offers in her small but incredibly comfortable spa are fabulous. Patti listens to your needs and helps customize each and every treatment to exactly what is hoped for. Her product line and knowledge base are both incredible and the sense of peace and balance I feel from being around her and in her spa stay with me even after my appointments. I highly recommend visits to Earthly Rituals ....no matter which services you select, you will come away greatly rewarded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most Relaxing Pedicure&lt;br /&gt;11/12/2008 Posted by deedee63&lt;br /&gt;Every visit to Earthly Rituals is a wonderfully relaxing experience. Patti has a calm and beautiful energy. Her spa space is warm and soothing yet very clean and sanitary (extremely important to me). I’ve had mani/pedi’s, eyebrow waxes and massages. The location in the Fremont Space Building is close, convenient and surrounded by many fun shops and restaurants. I thoroughly enjoy Patti’s personal one-on-one attention and feel completely refreshed after every visit . . . always looking forward to the next!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personalized services with a smile!&lt;br /&gt;11/12/2008 Posted by EmeraldCritic&lt;br /&gt;I've been to several spas in the Seattle area but like this one the best because of the personalized attention. While other spas give excellent service, it sometimes feels like you're just another client. Patti greets you with a genuinely warm smile and treats you like an old friend. I highly recommend the facials. My last facial was the best I've ever had, even compared to other spas that I've been to in other parts of the world. My face was smooth and hydrated for weeks! I also recommend the pedicure. Imagine lying down for a pedicure instead of sitting up. It's so much more comfortable! I gave my husband a scalp massage as a gift and he loved it! The spa is small but it's inviting, relaxing, and clean with excellent ambiance. As a heads up, since the spa is suitable for 1-2 persons, if you arrive before the previous client is finished, just wait in the hall on the chair or roam the halls. I frequently recommend this spa to my friends and family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get Pampered!&lt;br /&gt;11/12/2008 Posted by missrose1925&lt;br /&gt;Earthly Rituals is a beautiful, intimate spa in Fremont with many services to choose from. I have been in for both waxes and pedicures and have always been very happy with the results. While, no one can claim a pain-free wax, Patti comes the closest to it. She is both personable and efficient. Get the full spa pedicure - it is a wonderful treat! The product lines offered are natural and of excellent quality as well.&lt;br /&gt;Pros: Ambience, Service, Neighborhood&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best massage you'll ever have!&lt;br /&gt;11/12/2008 Posted by kimoreillykoch&lt;br /&gt;I've been to numerous spas around the world in the past two decades. Many have been in 5 star hotels. Patti is by far the best massage therapist I have ever seen. She listens to her client's needs and has the experience to deliver the most appropriate treatment. I have and will continue to buy gift certificates to see her for my friend's and family and they all agree. Hands down, she is the best! Book an appointment and you'll never have to look again for the ultimate massage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit Earthly Rituals&lt;br /&gt;11/11/2008 Posted by JonlMar&lt;br /&gt;My experience with Earthly Rituals-A Personal Spa is just just that: a tailor-made, personal time to be pampered and educated by Patti. Patti's "art-of'-the-touch", calm demeanor and years of experience leave us not only with glowing skin, but with a soothed mind &amp; spirit. Her dedication to us is remarkable; continual education, supporting eco-friendly products, as well as supporting her local community in Freemont. The entire spa reflects an approach to health that is organic, natural and more importantly, attainable. While we have an appearance that glows, we step out of the spa with insights towards overall wellness. Give yourself the gift of the Earthly Rituals experience. Jon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazingly affordable for top of the line services!&lt;br /&gt;11/11/2008 Posted by missmadeleine&lt;br /&gt;I was so happy to find Earthy Rituals right in the center of Fremont - so much more convenient than Downtown and way more charming than a mall! The pricing for most services is not much more than the corner nail/wax shops, but with all of the luxury and high end products of a boutique salon. The wax smells like chocolate and left my skin smooth and hydrated. If you're looking for a truly meditative, soothing spa experience, skip the hustle and bustle of the big salons, all you need is Earthly Rituals!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An amazingly unique nurturing spa experience that is personal and luxurious at the same time&lt;br /&gt;11/11/2008 Posted by MariaKeller&lt;br /&gt;I moved to Seattle this summer and, at the same time, I was planning my wedding remotely (we had the ceremony in Michigan). I wanted find a relaxing spa for a manicure and a pedicure for the event - working in Fremont I was fortunate to find this gem! Let's start with the space itself - this is a small, quite personal spa - you don't get the noise of a busy salon and you are not rushed though your service to accommodate the next client. The colors and fabrics are soothing and relaxing. The minute you enter the spa the relaxation begins and you're transported out of the daily cares. The products used during the services are luxurious - locally sourced, they nourish the body. It doesn't hurt that they smell wonderful!!! Patti's technique is first rate - I've had manicures and pedicures before - I woouldn't go anywhere else after this! Patti doesn't rush, doesn't skiimp on product, and the massage is wonderful. Also, Patti is sensitive to when I as a client need to quitely relax and enjoy the experience or when I'm interested in conversation and learning more about how to take better care of myself with the types of alternative products available. Her information is based on well researched information ... I enjoy the conversation as much as the pampering. If you have never tried a personal spa, I strongly recommend giving this a try. I'll also admit I was amazed - Earthly Rituals offers all of this for basically the same price I've paid at big noisier spas located in hair salons. I love it!&lt;br /&gt;Pros: Ambience, Knowledgable Staff, Pace of serve&lt;br /&gt;Cons: Takes a little work to find it the first time ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expert Care in a Relaxing Atmosphere&lt;br /&gt;11/11/2008 Posted by annk2&lt;br /&gt;I trust Earthly Rituals with all of my skin care treatments. I know I can rely on Patti’s expert knowledge and genuine, personal attention to my specific needs. Not only do I receive top-notch care, I leave feeling relaxed and invigorated. Visit Earthly Rituals and you’ll see for yourself!&lt;br /&gt;Pros: Personal attention, highly skilled&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazing Attention to Detail... A Truely Personal Experience....&lt;br /&gt;11/10/2008 Posted by akennedy12&lt;br /&gt;When you enter Earthly Rituals your retreat to a personal experience begins immediately. You feel like you've entered a personal room in your own home that was designed especially for you.... Very quaint, very relaxing, very feng shui. You must experience Earthly Rituals if you want to feel special and like you're the only one that matters in the room!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great Personal Service&lt;br /&gt;11/10/2008 Posted by schpink&lt;br /&gt;Earthly Rituals is cozy and comforting. You are the only client being cared for at a time. It makes you feel like royalty. It is soothing, and Patti knows her stuff. The location is right in the hot spot of Fremont, but you feel like you are in a private oasis when it's time for your treatment. I was really impressed with Patti's attention to detail. Go just once - you'll be hooked!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relaxing, friendly, intimate atmosphere....&lt;br /&gt;11/06/2008 Posted by shelbyrogers&lt;br /&gt;Large spas intimidate me. I really prefer the small more intimate establishments. Earthly Rituals is a perfect example of a smaller spa who uses fantastic natural products and is reasonalbly priced. The central Frement location is easy to find and parking is much easier then going downtown. I have had a facial, pedicure, and leg waxing there. The waxing was incredibly quick and relatively painless! All three were great experiences and I left with a smile! It always feels good to support our local companies. So, treat yourself and visit Earthly Rituals!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patti has the magic touch&lt;br /&gt;12/15/2008 Posted by hopkins61&lt;br /&gt;I have been following Patti around for years now! Patti has been in the "biz" for a long time, working both in high-end spas and out of her home. Her touch and her technique are truly magical. I've been to others, and no one compares. It is obvious that Patti connects with her client on a deep level and knows just what they need. She is professional, yet approachable. Always smiling, always cheerful, she makes you feel special just being in her presence. I am so happy that she has her own spa in the very cool Fremont neighborhood. Whichever treatment you choose, you will walk away renewed, relaxed and very glad you found this special place.&lt;br /&gt;Pros: Very cool neighborhood, intimate setting, personal attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazing, Amazing, Amazing...&lt;br /&gt;12/15/2008 Posted by monamo9&lt;br /&gt;I have seen many different massage therapists in town - from Salons to Spas to Private practices. Patti is intuitive and has a deep understanding of the body, mind and spirit connection. She listened to me and not only worked on the areas of my body I felt I needed, but also the body as a whole. I would recommend Patti to all. She's truly the finest of all practioners I've ever met.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NW Source Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patti's Spa is GREAT!!!&lt;br /&gt;Posted on 11/04/2008&lt;br /&gt;Earthly Rituals is cozy and comforting.

It is in the plan for the next year to provide you with many hours of relaxation, rejuvenation and the feeling of being refreshed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have decided that it is much easier for anyone that visits this website if our reviews are here for you to see without the need to search the web.

She has been doing it for years and is really, really good. There are many massage therapists in Seattle-- I know I have seen a ton of them-- and I think Erin is one of the best. The spa is small but the energy is good- the owner, Patti, is really nice and I haven't seen her for a service yet but I hear she is great and the products she uses are good. That is next on my list to do!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisa P.&lt;br /&gt;Seattle, WA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;5 star rating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11/12/2008 &lt;br /&gt;Patti is amazing.

I'll also admit I was amazed - Earthly Rituals offers all of this for basically the same price I've paid at big noisier spas located in hair salons. I love it! &lt;br /&gt;Pros: Ambience, Knowledgable Staff, Pace of serve&lt;br /&gt;Cons: Takes a little work to find it the first time ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expert Care in a Relaxing Atmosphere &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11/11/2008 Posted by annk2&lt;br /&gt;I trust Earthly Rituals with all of my skin care treatments.

Go just once - you'll be hooked!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relaxing, friendly, intimate atmosphere...&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;11/06/2008 Posted by shelbyrogers&lt;br /&gt;Large spas intimidate me. I really prefer the small more intimate establishments. Earthly Rituals is a perfect example of a smaller spa who uses fantastic natural products and is reasonalbly priced. The central Frement location is easy to find and parking is much easier then going downtown. I have had a facial, pedicure, and leg waxing there. The waxing was incredibly quick and relatively painless! All three were great experiences and I left with a smile! It always feels good to support our local companies. So, treat yourself and visit Earthly Rituals!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patti has the magic touch&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;12/15/2008 Posted by hopkins61&lt;br /&gt;I have been following Patti around for years now! Patti has been in the "biz" for a long time, working both in high-end spas and out of her home. Her touch and her technique are truly magical. I've been to others, and no one compares. It is obvious that Patti connects with her client on a deep level and knows just what they need. She is professional, yet approachable. Always smiling, always cheerful, she makes you feel special just being in her presence. I am so happy that she has her own spa in the very cool Fremont neighborhood. Whichever treatment you choose, you will walk away renewed, relaxed and very glad you found this special place. &lt;br /&gt;Pros: Very cool neighborhood, intimate setting, personal attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amazing, Amazing, Amazing... &lt;br /&gt;12/15/2008 Posted by monamo9&lt;br /&gt;I have seen many different massage therapists in town - from Salons to Spas to Private practices. Patti is intuitive and has a deep understanding of the body, mind and spirit connection. She listened to me and not only worked on the areas of my body I felt I needed, but also the body as a whole. I would recommend Patti to all. She's truly the finest of all practioners I've ever met.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NW Source Reviews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patti's Spa is GREAT!!! &lt;br /&gt;Posted on 11/04/2008 &lt;br /&gt;Earthly Rituals is cozy and comforting.

Currently I'm doing a series of beautifying treatments called Glycolic Peels, I've gotten so many complements on my skin lately. Patti has also done wonders for my son's back acne. Patti is the medicine woman of beauty, she has a nose for all scents, as well as product knowledge for whatever you need! This is a friendly private Gem of a spa located in the heart of Fremont! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google Reviews&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This spa is really GREAT!‎ &lt;br /&gt;Michelle‎  - Nov 5, 2008&lt;br /&gt;Earthly Rituals is cozy and comforting.
