ABOUT PATRICIA

A vision beyond the physical body

I’m Patricia Cassique — a physiotherapist with over 25 years of experience, holistic therapist, yogini, mother, and founder ofAwaking Connections, a heart-born space where purpose and presence meet.
  My academic journey began with Physiotherapy, specializing in Orthopedics, Postural Therapy, and Custom Insoles. For many years, I focused on chronic pain treatment and orthopedic rehabilitation, always with a careful and personalized approach


A Journey of Expansion and Integration

My path transformed when I realized that physical pain often reflects deeper roots — emotional blockages, unconscious beliefs, mental patterns, and disconnection from the spirit.
To understand the human being in their wholeness, I immersed myself in healing and spiritual studies across the globe — from the U.S. to Thailand, India to Spain and Portugal. Along the way, I integrated traditional knowledge with therapeutic science.


Therapies and Tools I Use

In addition to my background in Physiotherapy, I work with an integrative toolkit that includes:

  • Transpersonal and Transactional Therapy – bringing psychological depth to the healing process
  • Pain Management – guiding the body back to balance with holistic tools
  • Yoga, Pilates & Meditation – connecting movement, breath, and awareness
  • Energetic Therapies – aligning body and soul through subtle perception



''With his knowledge, dedicated work and subtle intuition, he helps people of all ages to overcome physical and emotional difficulties and to achieve spiritual harmony'

Testimony of CLP 42a.


My Approach: The Four Elements


I see the body as a temple composed of the four elements:


  • Earth – the physical body, our foundation
  • Water – our emotions, and how they flow or stagnate
  • Air – thoughts, beliefs, and mental habits
  • Fire – the spirit, our inner flame and purpose


When these elements are out of balance, the body feels it. My mission is to help you restore harmony with care, awareness, and presence.


Who I Work With


You’re in the right place if you:

  • Feel low on energy
  • Are dealing with physical pain
  • Want to reconnect with your emotions
  • Are ready to begin a new journey with your body and spirit

Each healing path is unique. At Awaking Connections, you’ll find a safe space to be heard, supported, and guided with presence and truth.


Where I Am


I’m currently based in the south of Portugal, surrounded by the nature that inspires my work — wherever the heart leads.


With Love,


Patricia
