Patricia Schneider, ATC

Patricia holds an A.S. degree from New England Institute of Technology, East Greenwich as a Physical Therapist Assistant. She holds certifications as a Certified Personal Trainer through ACSM, Pilates Mat through Physical Mind Institute and Anusara Inspired Yoga.

She enjoyed a former career as a Fashion Illustrator but has always participated in competitive and non-competitive sports. Injuries and the body’s ability to heal itself through postural awareness and a balanced therapeutic program led her to pursue her studies at NEIT.

Diversity is her specialty with programs designed to increase awareness through balance, strength and flexibility. She continues to teach fitness classes.
