Thank you for taking a moment for yourself. You have taken an important step on your wellness journey. I am honored to be a part of it.
My mission is to give highly-individualized massage, tailored to each person’s unique needs on every visit. Your body changes constantly, and your massage should change to meet you where you are today.
Every body is different. Our bodies work incredibly hard for us, and they deserve support and consistent maintenance. Massage is an invaluable tool to relieve tension and enhance mobility.
My philosophy is to help your body heal from the inside out. You are encouraged to actively participate in your wellness journey through sustainable life modifications and bringing your awareness to your physical body.
Becoming more conscious of the subtleties occurring in your body helps your therapist to discover your needs. My aim is to guide your exploration of well-being while helping you find compassion and gratitude for your body.
Owner, Jennifer Anthony is a hopa haole (mixed heritage) from Honolulu, Hawaii where her maternal family has lived for over a century. The name Mahalo Therapeutic Massage is an homage to her Japanese family and cultural practices passed down for generations.
The word “mahalo” means “thank you” in the Hawaiian language. It is used both in greeting and parting. It is a word of admiration and praise. The sentiment is sacred and powerful. Humility and gratitude are central to the practice of massage therapy. It is an honor to serve you and be entrusted with your care.
Mahalo for taking the first step. Mahalo for honoring your physical body. Mahalo for making time for yourself and your care today.
Massage modalities are different traditions with a variety of intentions and applications. Therapeutic Massage is a general term that describes any modality that helps relieve pain, reduce stress, and work on specific problems. The level of pressure and technique can vary based on the goal of the treatment.
Jennifer Anthony, LMT, CYT, MBA is a licensed massage therapist with a background in Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage, Orthopedic Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Scar Tissue Mobilization, Therapeutic Cupping, Prenatal Massage, Japanese Shiatsu, and Hawaiian Lomilomi. She is also a Certified Hatha Yoga Instructor and Thai Yoga Massage Practitioner. She graduated from Georgia Massage School in Suwanee, GA and was formerly the UGA Gymnastics Team’s Sports Massage Therapist and a Medical Massage Therapist in the Physical Therapy Dept at the University Health Center. She has also completed a 130-hour Continuing Education course in Orthopedic Assessment with a Specialty Certificate in Clinical Rehabilitative Massage.
Her philosophy is to integrate all of these tools to create a customized massage treatment plan for you. Each part of your body is unique and deserves individual care and attention. The integration of techniques targets different tissues based on their specific needs and helps to achieve balance and harmony in the body.
“A gifted massage therapist. I highly recommend her work. She is the perfect mix between nurturing massage and highly educated technician.”
“Jennifer is a fantastic therapist and her studio has a cozy feel. I’m a very active athlete and Jennifer taking care of my muscles is one of the main reasons for my continued performance.”
“Jennifer is attentive and thorough. She listens to what my current issues are and remembers from one session to the next what my chronic pain and problem areas are. No session is the same: if I come in with back pain, that’s what she focused on. She is fantastic!”
“I came to Jennifer with bad tendonitis throughout my arm and wrist due to my frequent playing of multiple instruments. It was beginning to be a problem to my career, and ever since I came to Mahalo it has completely turned around! She is also a very nice person and a joy to be around, I can not recommend her enough!”
“Jennifer is very accomplished at massage therapy and has been able to provide substantial relief for all of my trouble spots, so that I leave each session fully refreshed. She is a good business person as well, and runs her practice very professionally. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking massage therapy.”
“Jennifer is a caring, compassionate, and talented professional. It’s always a pleasure to see her. She makes a genuine effort to learn and remember my body’s issues, and tackles them like a project without me having to re-explain them.”
“As an avid amateur age group triathlete, her expertise in sports massage is a tremendous benefit for all my training and racing. She provides a comfortable and professional environment. She takes the time to get to know you, understand your needs, how to work with you, so you can get the most out of your massage.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Jennifer Anthony. Professional, comfortable atmosphere. Jennifer makes each massage individual to your needs. She understands anatomy and physiology and applies them to muscular injuries; I see her not only for routine therapy but also for solving acute muscle strains/spasm after exercise. She is a caring knowledgeable massage therapist and you will want to return once you see her. Highly recommended.”
Each part of your body has different needs, so your massage should not be limited to a single technique. Therefore, appointments are booked by time* rather than choosing a specific modality to allow for optimum massage customization and client satisfaction.
*Times listed below are hands-on time. Massage appointments include 15 minutes for consultation and check out. Please plan this additional time into your schedule accordingly.
If you are looking for full-body massage without specific problem areas OR if you only want to work on 2-3 problem areas, 60 minutes is right for you.
$105
If you would like the complete full-body experience with time for special attention to problem areas, 90 minutes would be ideal.
$150
Thai Massage involves therapist-assisted full-body stretching and joint mobilization. Practiced on a mat rather than a traditional massage table, you will be fully relaxed and movement will be performed by the therapist. Sessions are 90 minutes.
$160
Call 706-801-7760 for more information about booking your Thai Massage session.
