The best therapeutic massage for feeling better in your own body
When you're doing everything "right" and your body still feels off
You stretch. You roll out. You tell yourself it's just stress and it'll pass.
But it doesn't.
Your shoulders stay tight. Your jaw never really unclenches. Your sleep feels shallow, even when you're exhausted.
Sometimes it hits you out of nowhere—sitting at your desk, driving home, lying in bed—that familiar thought:
"I shouldn't feel like this all the time."
You don't need a dramatic injury to know something isn't right.
You just know your body is carrying more than it should.
When relaxation isn't enough but you don't want something cold and "medical" either
Maybe you've tried massage before.
It felt nice. You floated out the door. And a day or two later...everything crept back in.
That's frustrating. Especially when you're not looking for a cold, clinical experience.
You want to feel better.
You want relief that lasts.
And you want a massage therapist who actually listens to you.
What it feels like when your body can finally let go
There's a moment—sometimes halfway through a session—when your breathing slows without you trying.
Your shoulders drop.
Your thoughts quiet.
Your body stops bracing.
You don't feel "fixed."
You feel supported.
That's the difference between a massage that feels good and one that helps your body reset.
Why I do massage a little differently here
I created this clinic for people who want to feel better in their bodies. Whether that means deep relaxation, pain relief, stress regulation, or all of the above.
Not rushed.
Not cookie-cutter.
Not "tell me where it hurts and we'll guess at what fixes it."
Every session starts with listening to you and your goals.
Hi there, I'm Emily Hyde!
I am the owner and Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist (NC-LMBT 23002) of Skin to Soul Massage. I believe your personal health is grounded in the deep connection between your mind and your body. And that each treatment should reflect that connection.
Overall wellness comes from balancing the duality of your inner wellbeing and your physical health. I'm dedicated to providing you therapeutic bodywork that restores your equilibrium, relieves your tension, and promotes your healing.
Each of my sessions are rooted in mindfulness and intention, offering you grounded, compassionate care that encourages deep relaxation or therapeutic release. Whichever your goal may be.
Your care begins the moment you connect with me. I take pride in providing you not only stellar hands-on treatment, but also a seamless process. From your first inquiry and through to your aftercare check-in, you'll leave feeling supported, seen, appreciated, and professionally cared for.
Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
My goal is to provide you support and opportunity to unwind, reconnect, and heal...from skin to soul.
I can't wait to meet you!
Relaxation when you want it. Relief when you need it.
My approach blends therapeutic technique with deep respect for your nervous system.
Some days, your body needs focused work. Other days, it needs rest.
Most days, it needs a little bit of both.
I tailor each of your sessions to support:
Stress relief
Muscle tension and soreness
Headaches and jaw tension
Recovery from long days and busy lives
Simply feeling more at ease in your body
Healing from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions
