Kelly Mahoney, LMBT
Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist
Dynamic Massage
Kelly Mahoney has been a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist since 2011, with a strong commitment to continued learning and client education. Her work focuses on uncovering underlying imbalances and creating customized treatments that support both short-term relief and long-term healing.
Kelly takes a thorough and intentional approach to intake, asking thoughtful questions that help reveal long-standing patterns within the body. While some questions may not seem immediately relevant, they often uncover connections—such as how a past injury, surgery, or emotional stressor may contribute to current pain or dysfunction elsewhere in the body. She respects client boundaries while gathering the information needed to provide effective, individualized care.
Her clinical understanding of kinesiology, connective tissue, compensation patterns, trigger points, and nervous system regulation informs every session. Kelly has advanced training in craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation, which she uses as both assessment tools and treatment modalities. These gentle, yet powerful approaches allow her to evaluate the movement of cerebrospinal fluid, organ mobility, and fascial restrictions that may be contributing to pain, tension, or dysregulation. She also recognizes how emotions and lived experiences can influence physical health and integrates this awareness with client consent.
Kelly believes health is multi-layered and that chronic pain and long-standing conditions often have multiple contributing factors. She finds that a mixed-modality approach is highly effective and prioritizes calming the sympathetic nervous system before addressing specific problem areas, allowing the body to feel safe enough to change.
Her approach to deep tissue work emphasizes effectiveness without unnecessary pain. Rather than forcing pressure, Kelly works methodically from superficial layers to deeper structures, supporting lasting change without overwhelming the body.
Kelly may incorporate cupping therapy using gentle gliding techniques to release restrictions around and leading to problem areas, always prioritizing therapeutic outcomes over aggressive techniques. Acupressure is applied with intention and precision, using gentle pressure to support balanced energy flow. Essential oils and liniments are used as supportive tools when appropriate.
Kelly’s goal is to help clients reconnect with their bodies, restore balance, and reclaim a greater sense of ease and well-being. She hopes her approach to massage therapy inspires clients to feel empowered in their healing process and confident in their body’s ability to change.
