About Self Centered Body & Wellness

Our Philosophy

Self Centered Body & Wellness was founded on the belief that effective bodywork requires safety, structure, and intention. Healing does not happen through guesswork or rushed sessions. It happens when the body feels supported, respected, and understood.

Care is delivered through a trauma-informed, assessment-driven approach that prioritizes nervous system regulation alongside physical treatment. Every session is guided professionally, with clear boundaries and collaboration at the center of care.

About the Practitioner

Da’Shavone “Dee” Holmes, LMBT
North Carolina Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist (#21295)
Medical Massage Certified

Dee brings a grounded, clinical lens to therapeutic and medical massage while honoring the body’s need for safety and regulation. Her work is informed by evidence-based practice, trauma-aware principles, and years of experience supporting clients with chronic pain, injury recovery, stress-related tension, and complex physical patterns. Dee is known for creating a calm, grounded space where clients feel respected and understood.

Her approach is especially supportive for veterans, individuals with physically demanding lifestyles, and clients who have not felt fully helped by routine or spa-style massage. Sessions are structured, intentional, and guided by assessment—not assumptions.
