If you are soft skinned and can't handle pressure I do not recommend her. She is friendly, only talks if you initiate during the actual massage. She asks what hurts and what you would like worked on, and she follows through. You can buy massage in bulk, 3 at a time, and it works cheaper than any other place around, including massage envy. Her office is in a counseling office, weird right? Buts it quiet and clean. Very comfortable feeling. I recommend her!

I'm shocked mine will be the first review on Yelp for Journey's Massage Studio! The short version:…read moreOne of the best massages I've ever had, and I've had many. Let me elaborate... Katrina, the owner and the massage therapist, has received the Thumbtack's "Best of 2016 Award" for two years in a row, based on customer service reviews. I feel blessed to have found out about her through Groupon, but she is definitely well worth paying full fare, and I'm happy to "put her on the map" for the discerning Yelp community. A good therapeutic massage can allay stress, ease sore muscles, relieve tension, help heal injuries of the body, heart, and soul, can help you through the grieving process, and sometimes, do all that AND leave you feeling like an almost-new person. And that's how good Katrina is. She's warm and caring and made me feel comfortable right away. Her intake form is just one page that covers all the important issues, unlike many that make you feel like you're being prepped for major surgery, and take longer than the massage will! Before she begins, she asks about problem areas and massage preferences, and I could tell during the massage that she listened and took it all into account. I especially liked that she said at the outset that she doesn't usually talk with her clients during their massage, and that it was not personal...just that she knows we are there to relax and de-stress, and that conversation can interfere with that. Aside from the fact that she is very skilled at therapeutic massage, and adjusts pressure expertly, the very best part is the way she incorporates the use of hot stones and heated damp towels. I wasn't expecting either, and the sensation and results are almost magical. I left feeling well taken care of and infinitely more relaxed. Hopefully the pitfalls I encountered trying to find the office will benefit you, because if you appreciate a great massage, this is a place you'll definitely WANT to find! It's in a small office complex on the west side of Mur-Len Road about halfway between 127th and 135th Streets. As soon as you pull in the parking lot, turn left, head to the south side of the buildings, then turn right and go west toward Suite 6, just a few doors down. The company name is on the outer door, but the office is shared by a counseling service, and inside there is a (shared) reception window and one other unlabeled door, so if there is no one at the window, you might think you're in the wrong place. The unlabeled door leads back to the other offices, so you can knock on it if there isn't anyone at the desk. The icy cold bottled water you leave with to help detoxify was the perfect tonic on a scorching-hot Kansas City afternoon, and helped ease the shock from the waves of heat that blasted from my car when I opened the door. But even that couldn't destroy the cocoon of comfort Katrina had given me.

I have been using this massage therapist for several months now. I came to her during the pandemic,…read morebut was very happy with the complete awareness of the situation. i was initially asked to wait in the car and she checked temps outside, a couple weeks ago, I was able to just go inside and temps were taken there. A general questionnaire about contact and the virus was had. Everything is very clean and very spacious, you would be able to social distance even in normal times. Her massage area is dimly lit and relaxing there is soft music, and aromatherapy as well to help get you relaxed. I have had a lot of massages, and she is one of the best! I had a few areas that were really bothersome and in 2 sessions I was feeling like my old self!! She is pleasant and in tune with where the muscle aches are and inquires if the touch is to much or too soft. Easy access from main road and hwys and very well kept area of town. Definitely give her a try!!

About a month ago, my neck and shoulders hurt so bad that I decided to break down and get a…read moremassage. I'm in my mid-70s and this was the first in about 20 years! The question was where to go. I've learned that reviews can tell you a lot. There are the bad and mixed ones--avoid. The good ones--maybe. And then there are the ones where the customers are practically gushing over their experience with a company/employees. When I read New Day's reviews on some other sites, that's what I saw and therefore who I chose. They were so right!! So far, I have had two deep tissue massages from Ashley. Oh my!! She is wonderful. I have spent hours each day for years at the computer and my shoulders feel bunched up around my neck. After the first massage, I noticed that my neck looked longer. Just that one massage loosened those muscles enough that my shoulders dropped back down where they belong. I'm now trying to re-program myself not to scrunch them up--a bad habit I developed. She is really good at finding spots that are in need. Some that hurt the most, I didn't even know had a problem. The most amazing thing of all (again first time seeing Ashley) is that toward the end of my first massage, she asked me a funny question: whether I had any problems swallowing. I hadn't mentioned this to her because I never dreamed it had anything to do with muscles but I've been having a serious problem over several months--even a miniature pill or a bit of banana (!) was getting stuck in my throat. Apparently, this actually can be caused by muscles. She spent a little time lightly massaging those muscles and was able to release them enough that I had close to normal swallowing function for almost a week afterward. Like a miracle. Great team from Jill at the front desk to Ashley and I have a visit with Shawna coming up as well. I'll update this review after I see her. I highly, highly recommend New Day Massage.

Not sure what the formula is but I think it's the long-time employees who make sure they're always surrounding themselves with the best talent. If you ask most people in Lawrence where the go-to place for a great massage is, they'll name Southwind. An hour or more spent here is the ultimate recipe for treating yourself well and for folks like me that pound keyboards for a living and like to get a lot of strenuous exercise, boy, they are the prescription for staying healthy. It's with my highest recommendation that I tell you this place absolutely rocks and has for years. Of all the places I've ever given 5 stars to, this would have to be about tops.

For Cecilia at Southwind:…read more I've told you before, and I'll say it to everyone who reads this: you are a miracle worker. This woman has taken horrible, chronic, whole-body pain and left a relaxed and smiling me in its place. She has an incredibly calming, soothing presence and voice. Her pressure is just right and she understands SO much about bodies and the mind/body connection, as well as Eastern medicine. She is talented, humble, gracious, amazing. She honestly has changed my quality of life for the better in a big way! The building is also calming and cozy, and the idea of the collective is brilliant. Lawrence supports local business, and this collective is a great example of that. I write here about Cecilia because she is the only person I've seen there, but I would not be at all surprised if they are all capable and competent at their trade.
