Katrina does a great job! I am picky about therapists, I don't want fluffy-I want elbows in my back and neck to reduce my migraines. She gets it. 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! read more

I'm shocked mine will be the first review on Yelp for Journey's Massage Studio! The short version: One 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. read more

Disclaimer: I work in a spa. I wish I knew what this person's massage felt like. I got a Groupon as a gift for this place, I called and asked to set up an appointment, she said she was about to go into an appointment and if she could take my name and number down and she'd get back to me: click. Never took my name or number down, so I gave it a few days and called back, finally got an appointment scheduled. I started to look forward to it, never got a confirmation call or anything like that the day before so I decided I'd make my own confirmation call just to be sure. She asked who I was again. Apologized and said she double booked herself, and asked if I could reschedule. The silly part about this is, a huge portion of it was done over text, so I had the proof of the appointment being made. Well at this point, this was already a 6 week on going ordeal. So I just never rebooked. (so basically money spent on this Groupon was wasted) I think this person is terribly over booked and probably should hire a receptionist. read more

I am so glad I found this place (thanks Groupon!) because Katrina is amazing! She had the room nice and warm for me, which was awesome because it was 15 degrees outside. The table was prepared, soft music was playing, and it was very inviting. She asked me which areas I wanted her to focus on and the type of pressure I wanted. It was an hour of pure bliss, you guys! She has a gift and I will definitely be returning to see her again. She started with a head massage and used hot stones/towels. I can't even describe how amazing it felt. I didn't realize how tense I was until she worked out my sore muscles. Thanks, Katrina!! read more

I had to schedule a massage for my mom when she was in town as she was in so much pain. Not only did they work her into the schedule, but my mom was so happy to finally be out of pain! She enjoyed it so much she suggested I make an appointment for myself. Mom said it was amazing! Thank you Journey's so much! read more

Katrina has been giving me monthly massages every month for a year and half !! She is amazing . I have gone to many spas all around but have never had someone with such caring and taking care of my pains and enjoying my massage . I would highly recommend her . She's fabulous ! read more

If you are looking for a professional massage this isn't it! When you call for an appointment you get a recording. She then text you appointments she has available, which is limited. I had a morning appointment which she arrived late. This is in an strip of offices and she doesn't have a receptionist so I waited in my car. Once inside it is not a spa. It is an office-with a massage table and a boom box. She obviously laundered the sheets she uses. I was concerned about cleanliness. Using a Groupon I will settle for a little less pampering but this is ridiculous. She then tried to sell me a package of three for $85 each. If I am going to spend that much plus tip I will go for the spa experience read more

For the last several years I've struggled with pain in my left shoulder that's made it difficult to function in life. I've tried pain meds, cortisone injection, chiropractic care, and physical therapy. I was disappointed when I got a negative MRI result and seemingly no answers. I purchased a Groupon to come see Katrina as a last resort but after seeing her one time I'm already experiencing relief. Even from my first interaction with her I can tell this is an incredible lady with a genuine passion to help the hurting. I highly recommended her services, especially to those suffering pain. Thanks Katrina I look forward to continuing to work with you! read more
