Soluna Massage is a therapeutic and medical massage clinic in Asheville, North Carolina, created to be a place where people can truly exhale. Our goal is to offer care that helps the body relax, the nervous system settle, and the mind feel supported—so healing can happen more naturally and effectively. We combine clinical skill with a calm, intentional environment, offering massage therapy that feels both professional and deeply grounding.
Soluna’s Philosophy
At Soluna, we believe healing begins before the massage even starts. From the way you’re welcomed, to the pace of the session, to how your body is listened to and respected, everything is designed to help your nervous system feel safe enough to let go.
Our approach blends evidence-based medical massage with an understanding of how stress, pain, and daily demands affect the body. We focus on reducing pain, improving movement, and supporting mental well-being through care that is unhurried, attentive, and responsive. That same standard of care extends to our practitioners, creating an environment where everyone can show up present and supported.
The clinic itself is designed to encourage a sense of ease and regulation. Each session is approached with care for the whole experience, helping clients leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more comfortable in their bodies as they return to daily life.
Our Staff
Maia Zildjian
I’m a licensed massage therapist based in Asheville, North Carolina, with over five years of experience helping people feel better in their bodies. I specialize in therapeutic and medical massage for pain, tight muscles, stress, and injury recovery, and I tailor each session to what your body needs that day.
My style of massage is both effective and gentle where it needs to be, with a focus on helping clients feel comfortable and supported throughout the session. Many people come to me for help with chronic pain, headaches, migraines, work-related strain, or recovery after car accidents, and I work carefully to reduce pain, improve movement, and support relaxation.
I’m a co-owner of Soluna Massage, and I’m committed to providing thoughtful, professional care in a welcoming environment—whether in the studio or through mobile sessions.
Christophe Francis
I’m Christophe, co-owner of Soluna Massage in Asheville. My role is mostly behind the scenes, supporting the practice so that clients and therapists alike can have a calm, reliable, and well-run experience. I focus on communication, organization, and creating systems that help the clinic feel steady and supportive.
I’m currently in graduate school for counseling, and my background shapes how I think about care, stress, and well-being. I bring that perspective into how Soluna operates, with attention to how environments and experiences affect people beyond just the physical level.
Outside of the clinic, I’m a writer and musician who enjoys spending time outdoors, making music, and exploring creative and reflective practices that help me stay grounded. These parts of my life keep me connected to what it means to exhale, pay attention, and support others in a meaningful way.
