Kerry McCoy, LMT

Practicing Since 1996

Some therapists learn techniques. Others spend decades mastering them. This year marks Kerry McCoy’s 30th year as a Licensed Massage Therapist, and with three decades of experience, she’s developed the kind of intuition that only comes from helping thousands of people feel better. Whether someone is living with chronic pain, carrying tension from everyday life, or searching for lasting relief from stubborn muscle tightness, Kerry approaches every session with patience, precision, and an exceptional attention to detail.

Kerry graduated from the Florida School of Massage in 1996 and has spent her career building a reputation for providing thoughtful, therapeutic massage that truly makes a difference. Her style is slow, intentional, and deeply focused, allowing her to uncover the areas that need the most attention rather than simply working through a routine. If you’re someone who appreciates a massage that goes beyond relaxation, Kerry’s approach may be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Before joining A Compassionate Hart Massage & Wellness, Kerry practiced throughout the Erie area and beyond, spending the last several years commuting nearly an hour each way to continue doing the work she loves. When the opportunity came to return to Erie and serve the community she calls home, it felt like the right time for a new chapter—and we’re incredibly grateful that chapter brought her here.

In fact, Kerry’s story has a special connection to A Compassionate Hart. Long before Heather Hart owned the practice, the two worked together at Hamot Health Connection (Hamot Wellness Center). Even then, Kerry was one of those therapists clients eagerly tried to book with. Her reputation for delivering detailed, therapeutic bodywork followed her throughout her career, and it’s one of the many reasons we’re so excited to welcome her to our team.

Kerry specializes in therapeutic and deep tissue massage, combining years of knowledge with a calm, attentive presence that helps clients feel both cared for and understood. She believes every person is different, which is why every massage is tailored to the individual in front of her—not a one-size-fits-all routine.

Outside of the treatment room, Kerry finds peace in nature. Gardening is her meditation, and she’s known for having an incredible green thumb. When she’s not tending to her plants, you’ll often find her skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, rollerblading, or paddleboarding—always looking for her next outdoor adventure.

She’s also a devoted dog lover and shares her home with four four-legged companions: Oscar, Aslan, Cash, and Nora. After 30 years of helping people move more comfortably and live with less pain, Kerry still brings the same passion and dedication to every session. If you’re looking for detailed therapeutic work, effective deep tissue massage, and the confidence that comes with decades of experience, we think you’ll love getting to know Kerry.
