I had my first massage today at this location. Checking in was super easy. Within a few minutes, my…read moremassage therapist was welcoming back to her room. I would have to say one of the best, intense massages I have ever had. They are reasonably price and love the fact they don't have memberships/contracts. I was able to book my next appointment before I left. I think I found my new massage place!

I really love Zen Massage!!…read more I tried a few other places in town, and this one is for me. My therapist here is absolutely amazing! I'm not going to mention their name because I don't want them to get so busy that I can't get in. They have male and female therapist here in case you have a preference. There are no memberships or pressure tactics like that other chain massage place. And they have good availability in multiple therapists, unlike a one person shop. They're in a nice shopping plaza with several restaurants and other businesses in case you need stuff after your massage. They are very good at communication via email and text and phone. I am very pleased with Zen Massage.

Paula is hands down the best masseuse I've been to. I have had issues with chronic shoulder and…read moreneck pain that no chiropractor, acupuncturist, or other masseuse has been able to alleviate. I've noticed that after I visit Paula, after she works out the multitude of knots that have accumulated in my upper back, shoulders, and arms, it's as if she has freed up my body's innate ability to heal itself, as it jumpstarts what seems like a stopped/plugged up ability of my body to heal that occurs when I operated for too long in major stress mode.. "Healing Hands" is great description for Paula's work. NOTE: She also doesn't talk through the entire massage, like some masseuses do, which I think is totally odd and disruptive of my process of relaxing into the massage. She is personable at the beginning and after the massage but speaks only to make sure I'm doing ok. I live in Kansas but make the drive to MO just to experience this woman work miracles.

This woman should have business lining up out the door. I get massages typically monthly in LA and…read morefound myself needing one on my travels to KC. My last trip here I called three places and no one got back to me. So this time I called Paula and booked it next day. She is located inside a lovely salon (Salon Ritz) cottage in Independence. The room is spacious and nicely adorned. The room was a bit cool but the table is heated so I was perfectly toasty - ready to fall asleep. I am used to deep tissue/sports and she did not disappoint. She provides a great deal of even, consistent pressure and worked on my neck pain. I fell in and out of sleep for 60 wonderful minutes. Like the other review, I also appreciated that she didn't talk during the massage. I wish she had a website but then she would be more popular and I couldn't get a next day appointment!

He's done cupping, warm rocks, deep massage, massage gun, etc. He's kept me moving to exercise easier and walking without pain. He is good at distracting me with conversation when the lactic acid has tightened my muscles up and gets in deeper. His schedule is accommodating. And he's respectful of your safety when the weather is not good. I've been going about once a month for over year. His prices are reasonable. He's a local guy so this is a small business. Highly recommended.

But I caved and was desperate so I took the first place that could get me in same day. Lucy is nothing short of amazing. She was polite and professional. Don't let her small size fool you. I told her to go hard because I was in pain and didn't think her "hard" would really be hard. But she proved me wrong within seconds. She worked out muscles that have been locked for over 3 months. I walked in at a level 8 pain, and left at a 3. I will definitely be back and I will be bringing people with me! Lucy is amazing. If you have knots, she is who you need!

Went in for a 90 min massage and added aromatherapy. First, it took a bit for someone to check me…read morein. As my massage was in progress I started to question if the aromatherapy was being used, but since it was one I hadn't had before I just thought to myself, if it's not being used they just won't charge me. Half way through someone slid the masseuse a note that I had added the aromatherapy. It was used for the rest of the massage. When I was checking out the gal asked if I had aromatherapy and I hesitantly said yes and said for only half the massage, no one gave her the bottle. The gal kinda laughed and said oh that's ok. While I don't mind still paying for it, the brushing it off like it didn't pay for a full experience didn't sit well from me. Also, my room was close to the front and it's just not enjoyable when you can hear people on the phone and I'm not sure if some of the girls had friends visiting but there was a lot of chatter that continued. I knew they weren't additional guests because they were all eating Taco Bell together. It just gives a bad name to a "relaxing" place when you can hear people talking your entire relaxation time. Unfortunately I don't intend to visit this location again just because the lack of ensuring I had a good experience between what I paid for and the constant chatter.

I had Lisa as my masseuse and let me tell you, she is INCREDIBLE! I knew I was in good hands as soon as the quick consultation began. She listened to everything I said and proved it through the massage. I've been to some pretty fancy massage shops and have always left wanting more. I can confidently say that after this massage, all I wanted was to come back for more! Thank you Lisa and staff! Truly a wonderful experience.
