Dr. Nate Patocchi
Doctor of Chiropractic
Chiropractic
I approach each session as an act of love and respect—an opportunity to support your body’s natural healing from the inside out. My work blends gentle chiropractic care with breathwork, postural awareness, myofascial release, cranial holds, reiki, and guided stretching, all tailored to your unique needs.
With a degree in Exercise Physiology from CSU Chico and over ten years of experience in movement and biomechanics, I bring a deep understanding of how structure, energy, and awareness work together. My approach is rooted in a vitalistic philosophy: that healing isn’t something we force—it’s what happens when we reconnect with our true nature.
As your system unwinds, many rediscover ease, stillness, and a quiet inner strength that was always there. In that softening, clarity returns, breath deepens, and the body remembers how to heal. I’m honored to walk with you in that unfolding—holding space with reverence, trust, and the belief that your wholeness is never out of reach.
My Journey
A Solo Path to Healing
My path to becoming a healer began with my own experiences of illness, injury, and recovery. As a child, I lived with chronic asthma, severe allergies, and a host of injuries and conditions—including surgeries, broken bones, burns, and a serious blood and lung issue that nearly took my life. These challenges became the foundation of my understanding and compassion for others in pain.
Rather than letting these experiences define me, I used them as fuel for transformation. I’ve learned to transmute pain, heartbreak, and dis-ease into growth, clarity, and purpose. Through my own healing, I’ve come to trust deeply in the body’s innate intelligence and capacity to heal and restore itself when the interference to that process is removed.
My calling is to help others do the same—not only to relieve pain, but to uncover deeper levels of peace, freedom, and joy from within. Healing is not just about fixing what’s broken; it’s about remembering the wholeness that has always been within. It is an act of self love and love is the real medicine. Healing, at this level is one of the most empowering experiences I believe we can have as human beings. Love is not something we must earn—it is our birthright... but we must reclaim it! Let this work be a reminder of that truth.
Compassion at Heart
"When we meet life with love and understanding, it responds in kind. The tension we carry within often shapes the way we experience the world around us. To resolve outer conflict, we must first soften around our inner resistance.
This is the essence of the work I offer—helping individuals gently meet and release tension within the body and mind. When we approach ourselves with compassion, healing unfolds naturally. I believe this inner harmony is the foundation for creating not only a truly thriving and connected individual, but community and the world at large."
