01Philosophy

Healing from the inside out. Less suffering, more pleasure.

i.

Less Suffering

Ayurveda and yoga gently help you release tension, quiet the mind, and free yourself from the weight of old patterns, stress, and discomfort, guiding us back to a place of ease.

ii.

More Pleasure

Life is meant to be savored. Through gratitude, mindfulness, and self-care we awaken the senses and reconnect with the simple joys of everyday living.

iii.

Balance & Harmony

Aligning with the wisdom of Ayurveda nurtures the body, calms the mind, and uplifts the spirit, making space for healing, joy, and deep well-being.

iv.

Alignment

Alignment is more than posture. It's living in rhythm with ourselves, the seasons, and the universe. Through mindful life choices, food, breath, and daily routines, we cultivate vitality and ease.

02The Practitioner
Pattiejean McTernan

Pattiejean McTernan

A mother of four and educator for over 25 years, Pattiejean followed her love of yoga through 200- and 300-hour teacher trainings, meditation certification, and AyurYoga study. At 60, she returned to school to become a certified Ayurvedic Practitioner at the Ayurvedic Institute, then expanded her work with massage therapy in Las Vegas and Level 2 Marma training in Miami. She worked at the clinic at the European Massage School, where she stayed booked solid with return clients.

After losing her daughter, aunt, husband, and father within months, yoga and Ayurveda became her lifeline. That journey shapes the heart of her work today: supporting those navigating grief, loss, caregiving, life transitions, and the search for greater purpose, meaning, and peace. She weaves therapeutic touch, breath, and compassionate presence into healing that meets you exactly where you are. Today she sees clients at Bliss Spa & Salon in Las Vegas, and online.

"Keep life yummy."

Care Without the Upcharges

Your care is never à la carte.

I believe each client should receive exactly what they need, so there is never an additional charge for hot towels, hot stones, focused work, aromatherapy, or any other technique that supports your session.

Your session also includes time afterward to allow the mind and body to absorb and assimilate the care received.

The Wisdom of Ayurveda

Ancient knowledge, made daily

Ayurveda meets you in the small choices: the foods that nourish you, the rhythms that steady you, the rituals that restore you. Together we translate this 5,000-year-old wisdom into simple, sustainable practices that fit your real life and your unique constitution.

04Growing Garden

Care for growing families

Specialized massage for children, infants, pregnant women, new mothers, and the families and caregivers who support them, grounded in education, individual choice, and respect for each person’s unique needs.

01

Pediatric Massage

A child-centered massage experience designed to support growing minds and bodies, ease everyday muscular tension, encourage body and sensory awareness and emotional regulation, and provide a space for relaxation and wellness.

The 45-minute experience includes time for the child to become comfortable, for the caregiver to participate, and for both to settle into and integrate the experience. Hands-on massage will initially be shorter and can gradually increase over time, always guided by the child’s age, comfort, responses, and individual needs. A parent or caregiver remains in the room, while the child’s choices guide the session.
