Mackenzie is the owner and founder of Renewing Hands Massage.

Mackenzie graduated from the Finger Lakes School of Massage in 2018 after receiving a bachelors degree in clinical health studies from Ithaca College. This education provided a foundation for a unique perspective on the human body.

She uses her comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and massage therapy to provide an informed massage for her clients. During her sessions she practices mindfulness with each stroke and each breath. She moves slowly and intuitively, feeling for areas of increased tension and noticing the subtleties of how the body reacts to her touch.

In addition to standard medical care, she believes in the importance of a holistic approach to chronic pain, including mindfulness, meditation, yoga, lifestyle adjustments, self-care, and body awareness through touch. She enjoys teaching her clients about their bodies and how they can manage their symptoms.

Whether you would like to treat yourself to a relaxing massage, help alleviate anxiety and depression, address a specific area of discomfort, or experience massage for the first time, Mackenzie is excited to work with you!

Thanks! Just had to reschedule some appointments and noticed past reviews I hadn't submitted. Everything is always wonderful, thank you!

Mackenzie took the time to listen and ask questions to help figure out what approach would work best, both before and during the massage. The massage felt great and relieved my pain, which is what I was hoping for. Her knowledge and training were really evident—I highly recommend her!

Mackenzie has quickly tailored our sessions to my needs with fairly little input from myself.

Mackenzie was amazing. Best massage I have had in years. Highly recommend cupping to any athletes with tight or sore muscles.

So awesome! Haven't had a massage since 2019, had an issue with my neck and shoulder, and Mackenzie squeezed me in to help me out! Already feeling better after one day, coming back for another session to continue to work on this, but cannot thank her enough for fitting me in to her busy schedule!

Mackenzie’s massage, her kind presence, and her thoughtful approach to everything were truly renewing! It was the most effective massage I’ve ever had. I knew I had some tight spots and knew I was carrying a lot of stress, and I expected improvement in those areas; however, I received all that and noticed much more! A day later, I’m still noticing increased flexibility in areas I didn’t know were tight. Already, certain yoga poses are more accessible because of the increased flexibility. Perhaps most of all, I feel an overall lightening or easing that comes from being cared for. Thank you!!

Fantastic work! Mackenzie really sensed what my knots needed and responded with new techniques. I feel like a new human!

Kenzie is always very professional and welcoming each time I go for a massage. I book with her once a month to keep my body relaxed and as street free as possible. She listens to what my problem areas are and focuses on them while also making sure my whole body feels balanced by the end of the massage. Thank you, Kenzie!

The most relaxing, tension reliving massage I have ever had. I told her what was bothering me most and she put her talent to work. It's been 4 days and I still feel great. I will absolutely be seeing McKenzie again soon for another massage!
