Bodywork
Bodywork is a targeted, assessment-driven form of manual therapy that hones in on key problem areas to reduce pain and promote better movement. Techniques used may include myofascial release, NMT, stretching, guided movement and more.
Deep Tissue Massage
Our deep tissue massage blends the fundamental core of bodywork technique with a shift in intention towards reducing stress and relieving tension. This comprehensive deep tissue massage places the focus on the cause of your tension as well as the major stress areas of the body to provide relief like you have never experienced with a deep tissue massage before.
Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a technique that creates a deep stretch in the tissue to free chronic tension from the body. Used as the primary technique in Rolfing, ART, and other advanced therapies, MFR is excellent for improving posture, reducing tension-related pain, and better overall movement. This technique is used in our Deep Tissue Massage, Bodywork Therapy and Sports Recovery sessions where needed.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Neuromuscular Massage (NMT) is a deep tissue method with a precise focus on muscle bellies and tendons. Consisting of long compressive holds, NMT is used to treat chronic or acute pain, release deeply-guarded tension, and sports recovery. This technique is used in our Deep Tissue Massage, Bodywork Therapy and Sports Recovery sessions where needed.
Stretch Therapy
Our assisted stretch therapy can be incorporated into any therapy session as well as a session on its own. The primary goal of stretch therapy is to treat tightness, imbalances, and restrictions that cause movement distortions, pain, and an increased risk of injury.
TMJ Massage
Our TMJ Massage focuses on alleviating the symptoms of TMJ Disorder which include chronic headaches as well as head, neck, teeth, jaw, and face pain. This technique can be performed both inside the mouth and outside of the jaw depending on your comfort level. This technique is used in our Deep Tissue Massage and Bodywork Therapy sessions where needed.

Learn more about Patricia
Patricia’s interest in health and the human body was sparked after the birth of her first child in 2012. Motherhood helped her realize the importance of health and wellness, as much for herself, as for her daughter. After the delivery, she felt felt weak and uncomfortable, and struggled to get back on her feet. The more she tried to push herself into a better relationship with her body, the more she realized how disconnected she was from what she was feeling on the inside.
Patricia found her path back to wellness through the practice of yoga, where she was inspired to become an instructor and help others. She taught in her home town of Miami, Florida before moving to the Charlotte region in 2014.
The transition from yoga teacher to bodywork therapist began after observing a pattern of chronic issues in her students. “I discovered so many people that were disconnected from their bodies. Many common pains and restrictions from: tight hips, low back pain, little to no mobility in the upper back, neck and shoulder pain… the list went on and on” she said. To provide additional relief, she began to offer stretch therapy to people who wanted the benefits of having more flexibility.
As Patricia worked with her clients, it became clear that flexibility wasn’t the only issue — more importantly, that basic stretching alone was not the remedy for all their ailments. Mildly frustrated and majorly motivated, she thought to herself, “I know how to stretch my clients, but I lack the proper understanding of anatomy and deep release.”
Inspired once again to take her healing work to the next level, she enrolled in The North Carolina School of Advanced Bodywork. Patricia gained the knowledge and training she was looking for — to offer a deeper level of healing and care.
Anyone who wants to take an active role in their healing journey is Patricia’s favorite kind of client.
“I want to work with people who are willing to show up for themselves,” she said. “What really moves me is helping to bring people back to themselves. Be it through breath work, stretch, yoga, body work or a combination of all of these. I often find that combining breath work with other movement techniques allows people the space to feel what’s going on in their bodies and sometimes deep within the psyche.”Patricia describes her work as deep, flowing, mindful and attentive.

Body Heal Therapy is a holistic approach to pain relief. Since the human body moves as a unit, rather than in individual pieces, we often compromise for repetitive patterns and postures with unrelenting tension in other areas that can cause pain. By addressing these patterns, we can go beyond providing temporary help to the area causing discomfort, and instead, treat the root cause with lasting results.
