About Us

Key Pointe Wellness was founded in 2021 but it began in my heart in 2013 as a freshman at Southern Illinois University. While pursuing a bachelors of science degree and recovering from my second knee surgery, I supported my track team through words of encouragement and massage therapy. After experiencing the prevalence of injury without manual therapy, I started massaging my colleagues, some who became professional athletes, Olympians, national and world record holders in various disciplines. 

My name is Kemar Jones, a 31 year old who grew up with a true passion for sports and the environment. However, in my attempt to qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympics I fractured my back and pelvis after years of excessive jumping and hurdling with an underdeveloped core. This prompted my rehabilitation journey during which I learned to walk again, battled with the side-effects of opioids for pain management and the realization that therapy needed to be approached from a holistic standpoint if independence and longevity is the true goal. After trying countless solutions, psychological and physical forms of therapy seemed to be the most beneficial combination to recover from chronic pain and traumatic injuries.

Massage has always been my go to, as well as mindful movement which strengthens the mind-body connection we can easily take for granted. The importance of touch and lymphatic health for maintenance in sedentary lifestyles inclined me to pursue a life-work where we can provide massage not only for injuries, but for the simple purpose of relaxation and cellular health.
