Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapists

Amanda K. Lunn (She/Her)
Owner/Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist NC #6481

Amanda was born in Hitchin, England and throughout the years has lived in Germany, Tennessee, New York, and North Carolina.  She attended Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY, received Dean’s List honors, and ultimately graduated Magna Cum-Laude in 2004 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Health Sciences and a minor in Integrative Health Studies.

Originally, Amanda was planning to become a doctor, but one day during a complementary health class, a massage therapist came in to discuss her trade.  During that discussion, Amanda got butterflies in her stomach and realized that massage therapy was her pathway to helping others heal.  Later in 2004, Amanda received her massage diploma from the Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage in Rochester, NY.  Since then, she has obtained licenses in both New York (#017989) and North Carolina (#6481), become nationally board certified, and taken over 200 hours of continuing education in courses like reflexology, Thai massage, pre- and post-natal massage, myokinesthetics, cranial sacral therapy, ethics, and research.

A couple years after graduating massage school, she decided to forge a new life in North Carolina. Since receiving her massage diploma, she has given over 15,000 hours of massage and worked in a variety of settings including a fitness center, a spa, a chiropractic office as well as a national franchise gaining vast knowledge about how each of them operated and the clientele they served. In 2012 she branched out and decided to start her own business and later in 2014 founded Massage Ingenuity.

Amanda chose this career because it fits her personal beliefs of wellness and healing. She feels it is important to look at and treat one’s whole body instead of a few, minute cells within it. Furthermore, she believes that integrating various health modalities is essential to achieving total wellness. Overall, her aim is to help people to take control of their own health.

When she is not working, Amanda enjoys reading, being outside and reconnecting to nature, hiking, and spending time with her two little girls, Ashley and Amber.

Coming to Amanda for a massage is the highlight of my month. As it gets closer to my scheduled day, I begin anticipating this hour and wish it would hurry up. Amanda is a talented therapist who listens and responds appropriately to my particular problems and complains. An added bonus is that she is friendly and makes me feel that I am an important client.

What Customers are Saying

There are numerous health benefits of massage and if you have ever thought I should try that, you should schedule an appointment with licensed massage and bodywork therapist Amanda Lunn in Holly Springs.   My name is Pam Gibson and I have been very fortunate to enjoy monthly scheduled massages with Amanda Lunn.  She is a fabulous therapist with a superb technique. Amanda’s massages flow so smoothly while she massages tense and tight muscles as those muscles relax and soften beneath her healing touch. I always feel so relaxed after her massage sessions I keep returning for more. Amanda’s calm demeanor makes you feel right at home and her warm presence makes you feel very comfortable. I recommend you call Amanda for an appointment to experience your own health benefits of massage.

What Customers are Saying

A massage by Amanda is more than just a massage, it is a full experience. From her calming voice to her understanding of what you need at that time, you leave feeling much better than you did when you started. I have seen Amanda for the past 6 years for massage, and she has been able to help me with issues from headaches to stiffness, using both relaxing and firm pressure techniques. I have recommended Amanda to my friends and family and will continue to do so over and over again!

FAQ’s

How often should I get a massage?

Truthfully, it varies depending on the client and his/her goals.  The effects of massage are cumulative.  The more frequently you receive a massage, the more positive effects you will see from it.  We recommend receiving massage at least once a month for maintenance to offset what you may be doing throughout this timeframe.  If you

What can I try at home in the meantime or between appointments?

Oftentimes, yoga can be beneficial. It can help to both strengthen and stretch your muscles. Many people find that drinking more water can help. Most seem to recommend drinking half your body weight in ounces of water a day. Tennis ball therapy might be another great way to reduce tension and pain at home. If

Do I have to get completely undressed?

While most people do get completely undressed, you may decide what amount of clothing you prefer to wear for your comfort.  For females we do recommend removing your bra so that you may more adequately feel the effects from your back massage.  For those with lower back and hip issues, removing underwear may help your

What should I wear during a massage?

That is up to you and what you would like to get out of the session.  Most clients fully undress, but some are more comfortable keeping on articles of clothing.  If you are looking for lots of good leg stretches, flexible athletic shorts may be advised.  If you are looking for full relaxation, minimal clothing

Will the massage hurt?

Yes, No, & Maybe!  Every body reacts differently to massage, and it is hard to predict how anyone may feel during or after a session.  There is a such thing as a “good” hurt and a “bad” hurt.  You should be able to intuitively know the difference.  During your session, if the massage ever hurts

READ MORE

Can I talk during my session?

This session is your session.  If you would prefer to talk, you absolutely may.  If you prefer not to talk, that is okay, too.  Generally speaking, the effects of the massage are better if talking is kept to a minimum as it allows both the therapist and client to go into somewhat of a meditative

How many sessions will I need to feel better?

This question is hard to answer as every single body is different and heals differently.  Some are fortunate enough to have all of their concerns alleviated after the very first visit.  Some may have health issues that will never go away, and massage is just a way to cope and allow them to keep up

How will I feel after my massage session?

Some people feel light headed after a massage as it helps to lower blood pressure.  Some feel giddy or loopy like they have taken drugs or alcohol.  Others feel energized or even sleepy.  Occasionally, some people may feel sore for the next 24-48 hours.  Some people feel this after even very light work; some people

When should I not get a massage?

What if I fall asleep during a massage?

That is perfectly normal! (as it is to drool!)  Many people become relaxed enough to fall into a deep meditative or sleep-like state.  It is kind of like when you are driving down the highway on a familiar path and all of a sudden you realize you have gone 20 miles without even realizing how

Can you perform massage on minors?

Yes, upon a therapist’s discretion, though we will need a signed consent from a parent or legal guardian.  We are amazed at how many knots and trigger points young people have, and as our technology continues to increase we are seeing neck and posture issues in younger and younger individuals.  Some therapists may feel uncomfortable
