Patrick M. Riley has been an advocate of natural health care since 1978. A graduate of La Salle University in Philadelphia, Patrick pursued studies in macrobiotics, shiatsu and related health subjects at the Kushi Institutes in London, England and Boston.   

In 1982 following a brief employment in the natural food industry, Patrick co-founded the Bucks County Macrobiotic Center in Langhorne, PA. It was here at the community level that Patrick refined his skills as a teacher, therapist and counselor. The success of the center was largely due to his enthusiasm for a comprehensive learning experience. The multi-dimensional educational program he helped develop and sponsor attracted countless participants to the center, a dynamic full service macrobiotic facility.

In 1990 he established the Pennsylvania School of Shiatsu, a 350 hour certification program that prepared students for careers in shiatsu therapy. Recognized as an expert in the art of shiatsu, Patrick has presented workshops and seminars throughout the United States and Europe. He currently teaches at the Strengthening Health Institute and The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College. Patrick devotes his professional time to working with individuals assisting them to restore their natural healing ability through the use of diet and common sense living. Patrick maintains offices in Newtown and Philadelphia, PA. He still hopes to publish his first book in the near future.
