Meet the Owner:

Mahalath Moore

Mahalath Moore is a licensed clinical massage therapist with over 11 years of experience in therapeutic bodywork and more than 8 years specializing in post-operative recovery and advanced lymphatic drainage. Her work is rooted in both clinical training and lived experience, and over the years, she’s developed a calm, intuitive approach that honors both the physical and emotional aspects of healing.

She’s worked in a range of clinical settings—chiropractic offices, physical therapy clinics, and plastic surgery practices—where she witnessed firsthand how much support people truly need after surgery. That’s what led her deeper into post-op care. It wasn’t just about reducing swelling or improving circulation—it was about helping people feel safe, seen, and supported during a time when their bodies and identities were in transition.

Mahalath is the founder of Mbode, a brand that reflects her belief in holistic, full-spectrum healing. Through Mbode Recovery, she offers lymphatic drainage massage, body contouring, therapeutic recovery work, and education that supports the body’s natural healing process. She holds advanced certifications in Lymphatic Drainage, Lypossage, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Facilitation, Prenatal Massage, and more—but beyond the techniques, it’s her heart-led presence and grounded care that clients remember most.

She is the author of “The Fat Grafting Nutrition Guide Post Surgery” and is currently working on “The Essential Guide to Recovery Post Surgery,” along with additional recovery tools to help both clients and practitioners navigate the healing journey with more clarity and confidence.

Mahalath believes healing is not one-size-fits-all—it takes intention, education, and compassion. Whether someone is recovering from surgery, navigating inflammation or autoimmune conditions, or simply feeling disconnected from their body, she creates space for them to reconnect and rebuild.

She’s lived in the Atlanta Metro area for over 20 years, is a wife, mom of three, and deeply values real connection—with family, friends, and her community. Outside of the treatment room, you’ll find her in the kitchen, planning her next travel adventure, laughing, and soaking up time with the people she loves.
