WELCOME!
The body is amazing and intricate, therefore, I always approach signs and symptoms with a holistic approach. Looking at the whole person, rather than just the one problem area they arrive with.
If you’ve been on my table even once, you know I don’t just follow a routine. My approach is integrative. Yes, I treat the muscular system, but I also use advanced modalities like CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, connective tissue work, acupressure, meridian work, essential oils and more, to bring you into self-awareness and reset your body to its natural state of rhythm and repair.
I work to uncover your hidden imbalances, those undercurrents where the body holds so much in your muscles, joints, connective tissue, organs, meridians, etc. Bringing you back to whole body balance.
A licensed massage therapist since 2011, I continue to learn the interrelationships between the many systems of the body; how they are interconnected, how they support each other, and how they can challenge each other.
I am dedicated to uncovering your hidden imbalances in order to customize a treatment specifically for your short-term and long-term goals, and motivate you to reclaim well-being.
"I used to have no expectations as a way to avoid disappointment. I had it all wrong. Having no expectations left me open to EVERYTHING, including healing".

If you genuinely want my help to feel healthy and balanced inside and out, I don’t need your fitness tracker, I need your commitment.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
I know if I want to help people truly feel their best, I need to understand the many systems of the body and how they are interrelated and interdependent.
Lake Norman is full of people who appear young and healthy, but feel greatly depleted from chronic stress, nerve dysregulation, digestive system issues, screaming bodies, and more. Their bodies are talking, but they’re not listening closely.
I have worked hard to educate myself, so that I can support and educate my clients. I see the physical, mental, emotional, energetic shifts in clients. The positive changes to their; muscular system, digestive system, craniosacral system, flow of Qi throughout their meridians, mobility and motility.
So, let's work smart, and listen to what all the amazing systems of your body are telling us, and support and treat according to those signs/symptoms.
Let’s talk. Let’s listen. Let’s work together.
Let’s get you feeling your best - longer.
MASSAGE
A traditional massage customized to your goals. Working on the muscular system, with the use of: swedish, deep tissue, cupping, essential oils and/or herbal liniments.
Swedish Massage - The pressure can be light, medium or firm. It is key in warming up soft tissue for more specific work, as well as guiding the nervous system into a parasympathetic state.
Deep Tissue Work - The purpose of deep tissue is to focus on problem areas, gradually increasing pressure, allowing the tissue to soften, as the body allows me to sink into the deeper layers.
-It is counterproductive if you are holding your breath, cringing, or ‘toughing through it’. Nor, should I be forcing my way through the layers. If you are in a state of stress; physically, mentally or emotionally then the nervous system will not allow your muscles to relax.
Cupping - Using negative pressure to pull soft tissue up and away from the body, cupping can help ‘create space’ between each layer, releasing areas of restriction.
I do not leave cups in any one spot for more than a few minutes and I will typically glide each cup around. Muscle ‘knots’ don’t just show up, something created that knot and the source needs to be treated.

HOLISTIC BODYWORK
This is where the reset back to being balanced and healthy happens. Going beyond the surface relief, and listening to and following where your imbalances pull to.
These sessions are integrative, evidence-informed, guided by your own inner physician, and deeply therapeutic.
Blending any of the following, as needed:
Massage, CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Acupressure and Meridian work, connective tissue work, Essential oils and liniments.
CranioSacral Therapy - Stresses, strains and injuries, the body absorbs it all. Over time, this can affect the central nervous system and nearly every other system in the body.
I gently follow and assess the speed and strength of the craniosacral rhythm (the flow of cerebrospinal fluid).
Treating areas of restriction, allows the central nervous system to relax and the body can self-correct.
Acupressure. Qi & Meridians - Incorporating acupressure points into a massage can help with a clients short term and long term goals. Acupressure does NOT use needles but it does address and treat the same meridians and points as acupuncture.
Unwinding Meridians is a treatment that focuses on balancing the flow of Qi along the meridians, and clear any blocks, if needed.
Visceral Manipulation, Abdomen - If mobility of an organ is impaired due to injury, surgery, illness, posture, diet, etc. then functional and structural problems will arise in time.
By gently helping your body reset and self-correct, releasing restrictions and freeing up organs to move with ease, the function of organs can improve, mobility (range of motion) can improve, symptoms can be resolved, and aches/pains can decrease.
60mins $115
90mins $160
CranioSacral Therapy
The craniosacral system influences the; respiratory system, nervous system, musculoskeletal system, vascular system, lymphatic system, and endocrine system.
Stresses, strains, injuries, and more, can affect the central nervous system and nearly every other system in the body.
During this manual therapy session, I gently follow and assess the craniosacral rhythm, the speed and strength of the cerebrospinal fluid as it circulates. Looking for and treating areas of restriction. Supporting the central nervous system, allowing it to relax and reset so the body and its many systems can self-correct back to balanced and healthy.
60mins $115
Visceral Manipuation - abdomen
"Our goal is to ultimately feel the organ(s) move freely in each direction. Improving the motility offers an opportunity for an organ to function at its greatest capacity."
Jean-Pierre Barral
If the motility and mobility of an organ is impaired due to injury, surgery, illness, posture, diet, etc. then functional and structural problems will arise in time.
By gently releasing restrictions around the abdominal organs, this manual therapy helps them to reset and self-correct. The function of organ(s) can improve, mobility (range of motion) can improve, symptoms can be resolved, and aches/pains can decrease.
60mins $115
Unwinding Meridians, Acupressure & Qi
Unwinding Meridians is an acupressure treatment that focuses on balancing the flow of Qi along the 12 primary and 8 extraordinary meridians.
Providing support, strength, control, calm, clear any blocks, and more, as needed based on the Qi.
The meridians and Qi within, oversee all aspects of health and wellness; physical, mental, emotional, psychological, etc
Acupressure does not use needles, but it does address and treat the same meridians and points as acupuncture.
The earliest references of Chinese Medicine note that the components of beauty include; compassion, bravery, truthfulness, clarity, kindness, generosity, strength, honor, respect, appropriateness, courage and wisdom.
These qualities don’t just apply to how you treat others, but also how you treat yourself.
Qi is energy, and meridians are specific pathways the Qi travels. Along each meridian are acupressure points, where Qi comes closer to the surface of the body, making it possible to treat and support the meridian and its Qi.
Each meridian has specific roles it plays in the function of the body from emotions, moods, organs, range of motion/mobility, immune system, brain function, hormones, circulation, digestion, sleep, how our mind and body react to anything.
They each contribute to achieving overall homeostasis so we are healthy and balanced, from top to bottom, inside and out.
At the same time, each meridian depends on the others for strength as well as control.

Decide if I am the Right Massage Therapist For You
Which client are you?
There is no wrong answer,
but there is the right and wrong massage therapist for each client.
Client A - wants a spa eperience, feeling refreshed and like a queen for the day.
Client B - views muscle tension as a way of life, believes massage must be painful, and expects muscle tension to return a day or two after their massage.
Client C - is looking for long-term benefits that require a broader scope, beyond just muscles.
I am probably not the right massage therapist for Client A.
I hope Client B becomes more open minded to what it takes to achieve improvement after meeting me.
Client C and I will discover so much about what positively and negatively contributes to their well-being.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are looking for a wonderful massage experience with flowing, relaxing strokes that are also very therapeutic, I recommend Indigo, 330-846-1310, who has also been offering very beneficial manual lymphatic drainage work.
If you are looking for an intensive, neuromuscular session, I recommend Jennifer at Restorative Motion Massage, 980-249-3949. You will appreciate the cold water she kindly offers you at the end of your session.

HEALTH & SAFETY
My priority is to provide safe and effective treatments, within my scope of practice.
If you have ever worked in a service industry, then you know there is push and PRESSURE to stay 100% booked, at all costs. I have never agreed with this.
I do my best to learn and understand how the body works, and to keep up with advances of western medicine, but I am not your treating doctor and I must follow your doctors guidelines.
Before you book a massage with Dynamic Massage, or any other bodywork practitioner, read the below, it is for your safety and well-being.
What you should you keep In mind when booking a massage, anywhere.
Keep in mind most doctors do not have an understanding of the medical modalities of massage, so they may think a relaxing swedish massage is ok, not aware that you typically get cupping or visceral manipulation or myofascial release, or stretching etc
Get your doctors release and approval for bodywork, after any injury or procedure, including;
Eyes, Ears, Nose - Laying face down may put too much pressure on these areas while you heal. The shoulders and neck have muscles and connective tissue that reach to the head and face
Orthopedic - this covers the musculoskeletal system (muscles and bones). There may be range of motion restrictions, etc
Exploratory - If there was an incision, no matter how small, even laparoscopic. One laparoscopic incision creates scar tissue that extends beyond the incision site and even deep into the body
Implanted devices - anywhere, for any reason. I do not want to interfere with the function, safety and effectiveness of these devices. This holds true for all things you weren't born with, that are currently part of you
Injections - elective or medically needed, including; botox, fillers, cortisone, steroid, allergy shots. Whether just 1 time, or daily. Ask your doctor how many days you need to wait. I've NEVER heard of a doctor saying go ahead get a massage in less than 4 days after any injection.
Dental work - root canals, cavities, tooth extraction, gum procedures....these can/do require incisions and maybe sutures etc. They also create swelling and tenderness.
Skin - anything biopsied, scraped, stitched, sutured, stapled, burned or frozen off. Give your skin time to heal and especially do not risk agitating an already vulnerable area.
If you are on a medication for blood or lymph circulation or are under a doctors care specific to blood or lymph circulation
Difficult to manage conditions - blood pressure, glucose, breathing, heart rate, seizures, balance, etc
I hope you found this helpful and feel more prepared to care for yourself going forward!
We influence each others health through breath & skin
The body removes toxins mainly through our breath, skin and restroom breaks.
During a massage we are in contact with each others breath and skin.
Cold, Flu and Everything Else
Be as concerned with others health as you are with your own.
If you are sick or recovering from illness, please do not come in for massage.
I have had many considerate clients reach out to me if they were not feeling well, and together we decided what would be best for both of us.
I agree not to work if I am sick or recovering, so as not to negatively influence your health.
Vaccines & Boosters
The body removes toxins, and anything else it does not recognize, mainly through our breath, skin and restroom breaks.
During a massage we are in contact with each others breath and skin.
Do NOT schedule with Dynamic Massage if you are scheduled to have ANY vaccine or booster, within 2 weeks prior to your expected appointment.
Reschedule your appointment for a later date.
covid, flu, hepatitis, shingles, tetanus, Tdap, RSV, pneumonia, HPV, MMR, chickenpox, etc.
I respect everyones freedom of medical choice.
At this time in my life, I choose not to get any vaccines.
If everyone is getting vaccines and boosters all year long, that’s alot of pharmaceuticals I’m exposed to while I work all week.
So, please respect my policy of a 2 week wait period after vaccines/boosters.
This is also for your safety - there are potential side effects with everything we eat, drink, ingest, inject, and apply topically.
Massage can influence circulation and if your body is having a hard time processing something, it is wise to wait.
Topical Medications, CBD Creams & Patches
These are becoming more common for hormone therapy, pain, skin and eye conditions, headaches and more.
Keep in mind these are considered medications and so precautions must be followed.
Do not schedule a massage with less than 5 hours after you apply your topical medication, patches and/or CBD cream.
Always consult with your doctor regarding precautions
Nitrile Gloves
Life is busy, and the world changes quickly. I do my best to stay up with the advances in medicinal treatments and therapies, both allopathic and natural. But keeping up with changes and advances can be difficult.
I wear nitrile gloves during all massage treatments.
This is to;
1) decrease my exposure each day to the many topical medications, transdermal patches, etc that are available to us (over-the-counter and prescription). As well as the fact that I use essential oils often.
2) protect you from any potential skin irritant, as well as avoid overloading your system with too much.
You will notice I do not put gloves on until we start your session, so any time before or after, you can clearly see my hands are clean and without irritation or health concerns.

Kelly is an incredibly skilled massage artist. She took the time to explain what she was doing and why, which helped me relax and understand the benefits of each technique. She focused on specific tension points in my neck, shoulders and arm, releasing tight spots. Her attention to detail and personalized approach made the experience truly excellent. I left feeling relaxed, and more mobile. I had a great massage!

Kelly helped me with getting rid of my lower back pain and the pain from my estancia tube in our first appointment! I am definitely going back again. I think you can call her a miracle worker!

I found Kelly during a challenging time in my life, both physically and mentally. What a gift she is incorporating her knowledge of the body for massage with eastern practice and essential oils. This is much more than your average massage. Kelly gives an elevated spa experience.
-B. M.
Dynamic Masssge was a very pleasant experience. Kelly assessed my physical status by asking questions before she made any adjustments to my body. She then professionally applied adjustments to the areas that needed attention. The massage, stretching and the internal corrections left me feeling revitalized and my posture improved. I would recommend her services and I’m looking forward to going back
W.D.
So relaxing while healing. Kelly picked up on things that I didn't even tell her about and worked on them. Will definitely go back!

Did not know what to expect on my first visit, but Kelly is very knowledgeable and explained everything. This was a cool experience, highly recommend to go check it out.
-M.L
I had a wonderful experience! Kelly supported my physical body with exactly what it needed. Instead of following a “typical massage routine”, she listened to my concerns and knew just what would be supportive. She checked in the following day to see how I was feeling. The visceral massage felt very supportive as I am healing my gut and cleansing my liver through nutrition and supplements. My acid reflux has diminished and my digestion feels better.
-L.M.

I've been having sinus issues,pelvic pain,and digestive dusturbances.I felt better almost immediately as soon as she started the visceral manipulation and craniosacral therapy on me!

-K. V.
I have been a client of Kelly's for several years ! She is an amazing therapist, really knows her art of massage! Today we did a little something different beside just the amazing massage . We added near infrared light to the session, and it felt so amazing, especially on the areas of my body that were really achy! It warmed those areas deep into the muscle and after working on it wasn't sore after my massage! I feel much better days later too! Loved it! Give it a try!
-D. N.
So thankful that I found Kelly over a year ago. I have had a few different issues, such as SI pain, pain in my feet, tight muscles in upper back and neck area. Kelly is amazing! Attentive, a great listener and communicator, working out tough tension spots in a way I didn’t even, know was possible! Her attention to detail when adjusting various parts of the body and stretching or massaging based on what’s needed, and in a way that can help your pain points feel better. I wish I could afford to see her every week!
-S. G.
We had an amazing massage session with Kelly while our family was on vacation on Lake Norman in Mooresville! She was able to accommodate 2 families with 4 adults at the lake house and everyone was relaxed and felt she gave as much time and energy to the first as the last. We would absolutely recommend Kelly to anyone.
-G. T.
Kelly is absolutely phenomenal! I have been dealing with back problems for a long time. Kelly was able to successfully relieve a lot of pressure on my back by using the perfect amount of firm pressure without it being painful. Through regular massages, I have felt a lot of the back pain alleviated. With her expertise in techniques such as cupping and post-massage stretches, she goes above and beyond to help her clients feel great. Kelly’s massage therapy significantly improved my back compared to when I was going to a chiropractor. She is an excellent massage therapist and is great at tailoring what you need into your massage.
-C. N.
I think Kelly is one of the best massage therapists I've ever had. Her knowledge and experience provide her with insights into how to provide massages that enable you to stay active, healthy, and strong. Her massages also deal effectively with the computer work-related muscle tension that I accumulate in my neck and shoulders. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a massage therapist.

My Book - Lost In Loss: Bullshit And Light
"This book is the shortest summary of over 20 years of very slow, and very challenging, self-reflection.
These are the more recent, more profound, AH-HA moments, my lifetime repeat offenses that were holding me back, my own bullshit that I needed to call bullshit on, so that I can become a better person for tomorrow.
May you; feel peace amidst loss, let clarity light the road for you, be open to honesty, and trust that love will steer you back to joy."
Kelly Mahoney
FOREWORD
In Lost In Loss: Bullshit and Light, the author invites us on a deeply personal journey through grief, healing, and the rediscovery of joy. This remarkable memoir, dedicated to the author's beloved brother Styvie and father Poppy, stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love.
From the very first pages, you are enveloped in a voice that is raw, honest, and imbued with humor. Kelly's reflections on loss and the complicated emotions that accompany it are relatable and poignant. They masterfully navigate the landscape of grief, illustrating that it is not a linear path but a winding road filled with unexpected turns, laughter, and moments of profound insight.
The dedication to family is woven throughout the narrative, serving as both a foundation and a guiding light for Kelly. Her brother’s presence is felt in every word, reminding us of the enduring bonds of love that transcend even the deepest sorrow. The author’s gratitude for her family—her mom Doll, husband Terrence, and miracle dog Cole—adds a warmth that radiates throughout the book.
One of the most striking elements of this memoir is Kelly's candid exploration of expectations and healing. There’s a powerful realization that having no expectations opened her to the possibility of everything. This insight resonates deeply and encourages us to embrace our own journeys without the burden of comparison or judgment.
The narrative is punctuated with moments of humor and lightness, a testament to her belief that even amidst loss, there is room for laughter. The “calling bullshit” philosophy becomes a mantra, urging readers to confront their truths and dig deeper into their own experiences. This refreshing approach makes the book relatable and engaging, as it invites us to reflect on our own lives and the “bullshit” we often need to confront.
As she navigates her grief, she also invites us to reconsider our definitions of loss. The notion that “there is no loss, just light” is a powerful reframing that encourages a shift in perspective.
Lost In Loss: Bullshit and Light is not just about grief; it’s a celebration of life, love, and the human experience. It serves as a guide for anyone who has ever felt lost in their own sorrow, offering hope and the promise of healing.
Kelly's journey is a reminder that it’s okay to feel deeply, to cry, to laugh, and to embrace the complexities of our emotions.
Kelly's heartfelt reflections will resonate with anyone who has faced loss, serving as a beacon of hope for those navigating their own paths through grief. A remarkable testament to the enduring light of love amidst the shadows of loss.

- It was fabulous! You had me crying and laughing and crying again.
-I thought your book was amazing
-You know I thought the book was awesome! As for BS moments it's when I start thinking I'm responsible for the changes in myself rather than Christ! I always have to check myself
-I thought the book was great. I loved that she realized that you do not have to stay in your worst situations. That you have to take time and effort to truly reflect and figure out a way to move forward. She saw that she could learn, be grateful, humble and grow from it. Leading her to become a better version of yourself. Nice Job.

I hope and expect that this book will help others find their way through the stormy chaos of grief and loss. You are showing that, despite the pain, or maybe even because of the pain, we can become more through such tragedy and trauma. Of course, you’ve always been a strong being, so maybe others will have to strengthen-up to make it to your level. But you’ve planted the seeds of what is possible on your path of Light
-loving the book

-it's an easy read but one that makes you think
-As someone who has recently experienced the loss of my parents, I found this book to be both emotionally powerful and refreshing. Powerful, because it boldly deals with subjects and feelings that I have chosen not to face and instead compartmentalize and hide away. Kelly bravely faces the dark corners where grief can hide away and pulls it out into the light. Yet, she makes it clear that delving into present grief and that of the past is a process fraught with the pain of self discovery and "calling bullshit" to expose the truth. Refreshing, because it is honest, unique, heartbreaking and funny. This is Kelly's story, her colorful personality and that of her beloved family, friends and spiritual counselors are distinct and personal. However, she leads by example. Lost In Loss: Bullshit and Light has encouraged me to take inventory of my own grief and experiences in order to both grow and deeply appreciate those I've lost, but as Kelly points out, live on "in our hearts and minds".
