ARA Healing

ARA Healing is a Charlotte-based practice that combines life coaching with bodywork to support change that is both embodied and practical. Centered on work around Good Girl Syndrome, it helps clients address restrictive conditioning as something that can shape both behavior and the body. Its coaching emphasizes moving beyond compliance and constriction toward greater freedom, vitality, ease, and self-possession. Hands-on massage and bodywork are used to support realignment, relieve pain and tension, and restore comfort and balance, reflecting a philosophy that lasting healing is strengthened when mind and body are addressed together. The practice also draws on Mark Volkmann's prior experience running a massage practice in Atlanta from 1993 to 1998.
