Healing Matrix


Sanctuary for Sacred Self-Care and Holistic Healing

At Healing Matrix, we believe healing is not only possible — it is your birthright.

Founded by Patience Ulstad, a wellness practitioner and self-care advocate with a deep personal journey through autoimmune illness and trauma recovery, Healing Matrix is more than a wellness studio. It is a sanctuary for transformation.

Located in Falls Church, Virginia, our Self-Care Sanctuary is dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their bodies, calm their nervous systems, and restore balance through ancient and modern healing practices. We offer a rich blend of services — including therapeutic massage, Ayurvedic wellness, yoga, Reiki, sound healing, health coaching, and seasonal detoxes — all designed to support sustainable well-being in body, mind, and spirit.

At the heart of our work is the belief that “dis-ease is not a life sentence.” Through compassionate care, personalized attention, and practices rooted in self-love, we guide you to release overwhelm, reconnect with your vitality, and step into a life of greater ease, purpose, and joy.

Whether you're navigating burnout, seeking deeper balance, or craving a space to simply breathe and be, the Healing Matrix community is here to support your journey — every step of the way.

We invite you to step into the sanctuary.
You are your own healer. We’re here to remind you.


I loved the whole experience! Gentle and powerful. I could feel the energy shifting, releasing, deepening. Patience asked me what I wanted to accomplish and I spoke audaciously, and named 5-6 substantial areas where I was out for transformation, knowing how committed she is; knowing that because we both said it was possible for all that to occur, it was. Ever have someone stand for you to be all that is possible without exerting any pressure? That is the space she provided. Our conversation was a game changer. In that space, I got clear what was in the way of me becoming who I want to be. The next day, I had the realization that forever altered who I am in the world. I gave up believing that I don’t need love. The energy in my body shifted as I let go. I felt myself loving me and letting go of the belief that stood in the way of seeing the love others have for me. Simple. Profound. Life changing. I’ve been using words like “magic”, “powerful” and “amazing” to describe Patience, her work and my experience. I stand by those words.
