She's a knowledgeable professional who does her utmost to tailor her interventions to the specific needs of her clients. She's patient and takes her time during each session; rather than rushing through several areas, she evaluates tissue tension and focuses on those areas that appear to most need her therapeutic touch. Her commitment to client comfort extends to such pleasant touches as a warmer for her therapy plinth, a glass of water at the end of the session, and subdued lighting to invite relaxation. I always leave feeling better after a session with Shawna! Thanks so much!

Fast forward to a few years of having received regular treatments from Jeni, then skipping out on…read moremy massages for a bit, only having them randomly. And now finally to a point where I am attempting to implement regular massages into my schedule. Jeni is the one who worked with me to get from the point I was at originally (lack of mobility, in a great deal of pain, and completely unable to relax) to a place where I was not only practicing yoga daily. But my mobility had improved, and my pinched nerves were only a bad memory. I let things slide for a long while. And needless to say my body rebelled. All it took was one long overdue visit with Jeni, and things were back on track. She is in tune with what each client needs. So you won't be getting a generic massage from her, unless that is exactly what you are requesting, & then I'm assuming she could meet that requirement. Jeni wants to work with each individual client to ensure that they get what THEY need from the massage. Communication is key in this situation. If you, as a client do not tell the massage therapist what you are needing or expecting, they can't exactly provide it. But Jeni knows the right questions to ask, & she is extremely intuitive and responsive to the different issues, & the anatomy. She will improvise if needed depending on your situation. In my case, I had some "problem areas", & she suggested some options for the current massage, as well as future massages that might benefit me more, & gave me the input afterwards for discussion. I get the sense that Jeni is genuinely passionate and determined to improve the quality of life for each of her clients. She does what she can to lead me down the path to wellness, even when I have been slacking in some of the areas that are essential for maintaining the zen, peace, and painless state I am hoping to achieve. My two cents for seeing Jeni, and any other providers you are seeking service from in your life -- COMMUNICATE what it is you are expecting from the experience. It is not their job to read your mind. Ask questions, speak up, and know that you being communicative will enhance your experience, and most likely get the best results. I did just that, and I am mighty happy with the outcome. My scapulas, neck, and calves are, too. NOTE: The location is nice, quiet office park, with plenty of parking in a lot. There is one flight of stairs to reach the space itself. Jeni is a one person operation. So you can text or call her to schedule an appointment. You will be dealing directly with her (no receptionist, etc).

Jeni's bodywork is phenomenal. Impressive results after my first session, I was so amazed that my…read moreproblem areas were already a million times better! Jeni suggested weekly appointments for my job related wear n tear. After a few months of dedication, my body feels much stronger and I have regained full range of motion in my shoulders!! YeAH!! I plan to continue her treatments through the years as a preventive measure. U will enjoy Jeni, she is a total gem. I have learned a ton about nutrition and yoga practice from her as well~b o n u s

The Centered Spirit is a wellness center that according to their web site, because I wanted to get…read moreit right, focuses on healing traditions of Central America, Mexico and Europe. I won't go into everything they do because my main interest in coming here was to follow my acupuncturist who decided to move her practice here vs. the long, grueling commute to Lawrence. Acupuncture, massage therapy, those would be my personal interests, but there's far more here, and I may not be the one to go into those details. That might entail community classes, sauna therapy, Chinese medicine and other wellness practices. What I immediately liked though was one of the owners who took time to chat and show me around the building which is beautifully designed, very inviting and relaxing. They also house a French tea room near the entrance where you can peruse imported teas. Stepping into the interior is really to leave the busy area and Wornall behind. The sound insulation must surely be first rate because once inside, it's totally quiet and relaxing. I'll probably stick with my long-time massage therapist in Lawrence but if I was in Kansas City, I'd be looking to bring my service here. Everything about the place, the vibe, the people, the setting all seem to hit a sweet spot for me. I'm sure I'll be back.

It took me months to be able to share about this publicly because of how traumatic my experience…read morewith Alex at Centered Spirit was. I reported him to both the state and national board of massage therapy, but no action was taken (other than learning that he was not nationally certified, though he claimed to be). I think it's important to speak up against harmful behavior, so I'm sharing what happened here in an effort to avoid someone else experience the discomfort I did. BOTTOM LINE: There is a continued pattern of not respecting women and their bodies and thinking his (Alex's) knowledge and technique are more important than the experience of the client on the table.  MY EXPERIENCE: I had a Mayan Abdominal Massage with Alex Jackson in May 2022. I sought him out because he specialized in trauma-informed body work. At the beginning our session I brought up a concern I had around a negative Yelp review I read about him. His response - "it's hard to be a male therapist during #MeToo" - he said he even talked to a lawyer to see if he could remove the negative Yelp review about him. His inability to take responsibility was a red flag. I felt trapped to continue the session since I was already there (MY MISTAKE!). The reason I have not spoken to him directly about my complaint is because he proved in the conversation above that he cannot receive criticism or hold a respectful conversation about concerns brought to his attention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF COMPLAINT: 1. Claiming to heal trauma without being trauma-informed or trauma-responsive His sessions are structured in a way that elicit trauma through the extreme pressure he uses, the in-depth and intimate intake questions he asks around trauma and sex (such as have you been raped and how easily do you orgasm), and how he wants you to revisit the trauma while naked on his table and connected to your "inner little girl". He was acting like a therapist in a way that seemed to be an attempt to exert control over me. 2. Ignoring my boundaries At the beginning of the session, I asked him if he could use lighter pressure. I told him the pressure was too much, I was having trouble breathing and it hurt. Instead of respecting my freedom of choice (lighter touch) in the session, he told me the light pressure was just a "spa massage" and wouldn't provide any benefit. If I wanted the benefits from his work, he said it had to be deep pressure (that hurt). This felt like an exploitation of trust: that I was supposed to trust him because he was the therapist even though my experience of the session was painful.  The pressure that Alex used was unlike anything I have ever experienced. It literally took the breath from me. I was bracing myself every time he pushed down on my body. I could hardly speak, let alone advocate for myself, because he was working with such intense pressure it knocked the wind out of me.  Other than natural childbirth, I've never endured such physical pain. All the while, he kept saying "you're doing great sweetheart" (this was the first time I met him). 3. Continued dismissing feedback Toward the middle of the session, I started feeling dizzy and nauseous. I told him I get hypotensive easily and have a tendency to pass out. He told me my lightheadedness was not from my medical condition, but was from the extra oxygen I was breathing in. Every time he applied pressure (which was constantly) he told me to exhale. That required me to breathe fast, almost like I was hyperventilating. He did not do anything to help me feel less dizzy. At the end of the session my body was shaking uncontrollably and I was disoriented. He said that was common. Upon reflection of how the body can elicit a freeze response to trauma by shutting down and not feeling, he willingly seems like he's trying to induce this reaction in bodies to not feel anything and go numb by the sheer force of pressure he's exerting on our bodies. The amount of force and how it was applied felt abusive to my body and spirit. A massage worker creating a trauma response is not ok, especially when he's been notified the pressure is too intense.  The massage therapist is in a position of power as the practitioner and naked clients are much more vulnerable, especially in a healing space. 4. Dealing with physical and emotional effects after the session Because I've received a lot of bodywork before, I know that working on tissues can bring up emotions. The repercussions of my session with Alex Jones were completely different from other bodywork and energy work I've received. Instead of feeling relief or healing from this massage, I find myself feeling traumatized from it. I don't want anyone else to feel the way I did, which is why I'm sharing this.
