Massage

I have a friend who does in-home massage and is fabulous! The best part is he comes to you. I've had massages at a spa, and although they're wonderful, you have to drive home, which spoils a bit of the relaxed feeling. Let me know if you'd like his contact info.

Bijin in the Prairie Village Shops. You likely need to schedule a bit in advance, but it is well worth it.

Valencia Blake ###-###-####. She owns a company called Heavenly Touch Massage!

My husband got me a massage from Massage Envy...they have several locations. I am actually a massage therapist (not currently practicing because I stay at home with the kids) so I am pretty picky. I enjoyed it, though. They are very reasonably priced, I thought, too. Your first is like $40 or something and then you can have the option of signing up for a massage every month for somewhere around the same price, but you don't have to either.

Tina Alvarez she is at Par Exsalonce which is located at College and Quiviria. She is wonderful! ###-###-#### www.parexsalonce.com

It probably depends on if you are looking to just relax, or if you really want tension in your muscles worked out, but I love the massage therapist at my gym (The Firm Athletic Club). Her name is Kory and she's AWESOME--very knowledgeable and really works to get out knots and relieve tension. However, if you just want a relaxing massage she will do that as well. She's also very reasonable compared to other "spa" places I've been. Good luck!

Par Exsalonce at Quivera and College is good if you really want to feel pampered.

I LOVE Amy Messer, ###-###-####, near Metcalf & 139th. She's great at what she does, and she also teaches massage at the natural healing arts college (not sure the name of the college). She's very knowlegeable about all sorts of techniques, and she will work with you - whatever you like, whatever your ailment, whatever style you like best. Tell her S. gave you her number, if you want to.

If you are looking for a premium pampering site - go to Par Exsolance (95th & Quivira). It is so worth it. You get so much pampering - foot soak, a drink, steam shower afterwards, and you can use all of their Aveda products after your shower.
Have fun and relax!

Hi L.,
I've been going to Kathy Gamel for about 3 years and think she is wonderful. She is a Myofascial Release Specialist and really knows the body. I call her 'earth mother' because she literally has healing hands.

A GREAT place to go is Covenant Skin Care in Olathe. 801 N MurLen #103. She does a fabulous massage and it's only $60 for a full hour. Not one of those 5 minutes off to undress, 5 minutes off to dress again and then you end up with only a 50 minute massage. Her number is ###-###-####.

back and body works on North Oak ###-###-#### THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!

Par Exsalonce (www.parexsalonce.com) in Overland Park is great. They have a great spa atmosphere and really good masseurs with a variety of massages and spa treatments available. I love going there to just relax.

I would definitely vote for Massage Envy! Very professional, relaxing environment, they are open until 10 pm during the evenings. You can almost always get in the same day or next day for a massage...AND GREAT PRICES!
