Hi! I’m Natalie, a licensed massage and bodywork therapist, Thai bodywork practitioner, experienced registered yoga instructor and lifelong student of healing arts. My work is informed by extensive clinical training, advanced Thai massage education, and over a decade of hands-on experience helping clients manage chronic pain, stress, and physical imbalance.

I graduated from the North Carolina School of Advanced Bodywork in 2015. My passion for yoga and movement lead me to persue training and coaching to deepen my clinical and assessment knowledge, earn my 200 hr yoga teacher certification and immerse myself in Thai Healing arts. I’ve had opportunities to travel and study abroad in Thailand, attending different schools in Chiang Mai, including ITM, Omsala and Ong’s. I’ve trained in traditional Thai techniques such as Thai Foot Reflexology, Chi Nei Tsang (abdominal massage), Tok Sen and Pha Kao Ma. I focus on ease/resistance of movement, breath, and energy flow—allowing my sessions to be both deeply effective and grounding.

I’ve been honored to receive recognition at both the South Carolina and North Carolina Massage Championships, earning first-place awards in Thai, Clinical, and Eastern Freestyle categories in 2025. These experiences continually inspire me to refine my craft and bring fresh insight into every session.

My approach is intuitive yet evidence-based, blending technical skill with compassionate presence.

Why Mobile Massage?

Healing shouldn’t feel rushed—or stressful.

By offering mobile massage, Natalie created Rising Lotus to bring professional, high-quality bodywork directly to your home. This allows you to fully relax before, during, and after your session without the need to travel, sit in traffic, or re-enter the world immediately afterward.

Rising Lotus serves clients within a set service radius to create a calm, respectful environment.

The Meaning Behind Rising Lotus

The lotus flower symbolizes resilience, renewal, and transformation; rising through murky waters to bloom fully in the light. Rising Lotus reflects the belief that healing is not about perfection, but about progress, growth, self-connection, and honoring where you are today.

Each of us carries a unique story shaped by what we have lived through, overcome, and risen from. Our bodies hold these experiences - sometimes as tension, somtimes as fatigue, sometimes as quiet strength. Rising Lotus sessions are an invitation to listen to that story, care for your body with intention, and support it as it continues to heal, adapt and rise at it’s own pace.

When you book with Rising Lotus, you can expect:

• Personalized sessions tailored to your goals and body

• A blend of clinical, Thai, and therapeutic techniques

• Thoughtful pacing, grounding energy, and skilled touch
