The Women Who Built Clementine Holistic
Two women. Two disciplines. One shared vision.
Clementine Holistic began with a relationship long before it became a practice.
Megan and Robin are aunt and niece.
What started as a family relationship grew into a professional partnership built around something they had both come to understand through their own careers:
Women need somewhere to be heard, understood, and cared for as whole people.
Megan Tallent Soza — Co-Owner, Licensed Bodywork Therapist
I didn't want to create another place for women to simply come in, get a massage, and leave.
I wanted to create a place where a woman could slow down long enough to actually be heard.
Where her pain wasn't dismissed. Where her body wasn't treated like a collection of isolated symptoms. Where she didn't have to know exactly what she needed before asking for help.
That vision became Clementine Holistic.

Why Clementine Became Something Bigger
I grew up in Morganton, North Carolina, with an early interest in anatomy and rehabilitation influenced by my mother, an occupational therapist.
That curiosity eventually led me to Charlotte and into the world of bodywork, where I discovered how much there is to understand about the relationship between the body, movement, pain, stress, and everyday life.
I have always known that the mental and physical work must go hand-in-hand for true healing.
Clementine Holistic has become a place where my own professional path and Robin's 25 years of experience in nursing and psychiatric mental health care can exist alongside one another.
She's my aunt. I'm her niece.
And together, we're building something we wished existed, a place where women can access different kinds of care without being reduced to one symptom, one diagnosis, or one part of themselves.
My vision for Clementine is simple:
Give women a place to be understood.
Give them thoughtful options for care.
Give them room to make informed choices about themselves.And hopefully, help them leave feeling a little more connected to themselves than when they arrived.

My work begins with the body—but the goal is bigger than the body.
I've spent the last eight years working with women whose physical experiences affect far more than how they feel on the massage table.
Chronic pain can change the way you move through your day.
Tension can interfere with sleep and concentration.
Jaw pain can become something you simply learn to live with.
Recovery can leave you feeling disconnected from your body.
Pregnancy, postpartum changes, hormonal shifts, and major life transitions can change the way you experience yourself physically.I want my work to help women feel more comfortable in their bodies—and more capable in their lives.
My approach is individualized and clinically informed. I look at the person in front of me, listen to what she's experiencing, and adapt the work accordingly rather than forcing every body through the same routine.

Where My Work Has Taken Me
Originally licensed in 2018, I've continued to build my education around clinical massage, medical massage, myostructural bodywork, women's health, lymphatic techniques, scar tissue, TMJ, PTSD, and nervous-system-focused bodywork.
I've also had the opportunity to work alongside chiropractors, surgeons, physical therapists, certified lymphedema therapists, and board certified plastic surgeons.
Those experiences shaped something I believe strongly today:
Good care doesn't happen in isolation.
The more we understand how different parts of a woman's health can influence one another, the better equipped we are to support her.
That belief is part of why Clementine has grown beyond massage.
Robin Tallent | Co-Owner, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Board Certified
I found my way to mental health through both personal experience and 25 years of nursing.
My family experiences taught me early how deeply mental health can affect a person and the people who love them. My career taught me how important it is to look beyond the immediate symptoms and understand the whole story.
Today, I bring both perspectives to my work with women: clinical experience, personal understanding, and a genuine desire to help each woman find her way forward.

Robin grew up in Morganton, North Carolina, and much of what shaped the person and practitioner she is today began there.
Her path has not been defined by a perfectly straight line. Like many women, she has experienced seasons of change, adversity, uncertainty, and growth, experiences that taught her that life can affect us in ways that aren't always visible from the outside.
Those experiences became part of what drew Robin toward mental health.
Through her own family experiences, she saw firsthand how profoundly mental health can affect an individual and everyone around them. She came to understand that sometimes people don't need to be told to simply “push through.” They need someone who will listen without judgment, help them understand what is happening, and walk alongside them as they figure out what comes next.
That understanding stayed with her as she built a career in nursing and eventually found her way to psychiatric mental health care.
Her work is clinical, but her reason for doing it is deeply personal.

Robin brings 25 years of nursing experience to her work as a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
Over the course of her career, she has cared for people through illness, change, uncertainty, and some of life's most difficult moments. Those experiences taught her to look beyond what is immediately visible—to ask questions, notice patterns, and understand the circumstances surrounding what someone is experiencing.
Her passion for mental health grew from both her professional experience and what she witnessed within her own family.
She knows that asking for help isn't always easy.
Sometimes you know something feels different but can't quite explain why. Sometimes you've spent years functioning through something because you didn't know there could be another way.
Robin wants her patients to know they don't have to have everything figured out before they walk through the door.
You can simply start with where you are.

What I Hope to Help You Find
A clearer understanding of yourself.
Robin doesn't measure success solely by whether a symptom disappears.
She wants women to feel more steady, more capable, and more like themselves.
That might mean being able to focus at work again. Sleeping through the night. Feeling less overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities. Understanding why your mood has changed. Having the ability to navigate a major transition without feeling like you're losing yourself in it.
Sometimes meaningful change is subtle.
You begin responding differently instead of reacting automatically.
You understand your patterns instead of judging yourself for them.
You have more energy for the people and things that matter.
You feel more confident making decisions about your health.The goal isn't to change who you are.
It's to help you feel more like yourself again.
Built From What We Once Needed
Clementine Holistic was born from something deeply personal: our belief that women deserve somewhere to feel understood, supported, and cared for without being reduced to a single symptom, diagnosis, or circumstance.
As aunt and niece, we bring two different professional perspectives to one shared vision. Megan brings specialized bodywork; Robin brings psychiatric and mental health care. Together, we've created a space where women can receive thoughtful, individualized care for the physical and mental parts of life that coexist.
We believe effective care starts with listening, understanding the bigger picture, and meeting each woman where she is. Sometimes that means helping you feel more comfortable in your body. Sometimes it means making sense of what you're experiencing. Sometimes it means simply having the right support as you decide what comes next.
This is the kind of care we wanted to create, and the kind of care we believe women deserve.
