My Massage Studios KC

🎉 What an incredible accomplishment!

We’re so excited to see reStart not only reach their goal, but SURPASS it! 👏 There is something pretty special about watching our Kansas City community show up for an organization doing such meaningful work.

Congratulations to everyone at reStart for the hard work that went into making this happen and congratulations to all of the winners of the silent auction! 🎉 We hope you enjoy every bit of what you won!

If you aren’t familiar with reStart and the work they’re doing right here in our city, take a moment to check them out, learn more about their mission, and see the impact they’re making in our community. 💚

Way to go, reStart! We’re celebrating with you!

Kansas City, you showed up. 💛

We set an ambitious goal of $245,000 for Homecoming 2026.

Together, you helped us raise an incredible $302,967.

That’s nearly $58,000 over our goal, and every dollar helps reStart continue creating pathways to safe, stable housing for individuals, youth, and families across Kansas City.

To our sponsors, donors, auction bidders, volunteers, committee members, board members, partners, and everyone who joined us last night: thank you.

Last night was about more than reaching a fundraising goal. It was about what is possible when Kansas City comes together around the belief that everyone deserves a place to call home.

$302,967. What a night. What a community. 💛

We’re taking our care beyond the studio and into the community! 💚

✨ What exactly is stretch therapy and could it help you move and feel better?

What happens when stretching and massage happen at the same time? 👀

That’s one of the easiest ways to understand Wren Quinn’s Table Thai Massage.

Instead of lying still while Wren works one area at a time, Table Thai incorporates movement into the session. Wren gently moves your limbs into comfortable stretches while simultaneously applying intentional pressure where your muscles need it.

For example, if your hips are feeling tight, she may guide your leg into a comfortable stretch while using her fist or elbow to apply pressure through the glute muscles.

Movement + compression + purpose.

The result is a massage that feels active and connected, while still allowing you to relax and let Wren do the work.

And if you’re thinking, “Wait…am I flexible enough for this?” you don’t need to be. 😂 The movements are guided by Wren and adjusted to what feels comfortable for your body.

Table Thai is a great option for someone who enjoys deeper, more intentional bodywork and wants to incorporate more movement into their massage session.

Core Value #5: Speak With Purpose 💚

Communication is key to any healthy relationship and our working relationships are no different.

At My Massage Studios, we work hard to create an environment where our massage therapists know the door is open.

Bring the question. Share the idea. Ask for help. Voice a concern. Tell us when something isn't working. And yes, sometimes have the uncomfortable conversation.

Because healthy communication isn't about always agreeing. It's about creating enough trust to speak honestly, listen with respect, and work toward something better together.

Our one-on-one meetings aren't only about numbers or performance. They're a space to check in, celebrate what's working, talk through challenges, brainstorm ideas, and make sure we're actually hearing and being heard.

We won't always get communication perfectly right. But we can always choose to come back to the conversation with respect, purpose, and a willingness to listen.

That's what Speak With Purpose means at My Massage Studios. 🌿

What better way to show appreciation for your employees or clients than by bringing massage directly to them? 💚

On-site chair massage gives guests a chance to step away, reset, and return feeling more comfortable, focused, and genuinely appreciated.

And when Amy, Celeste, or Amelia arrives, they don’t simply set up a massage chair they show up with smiles, helpful education, and yes… even snacks! They understand the importance of your event and take pride in going above and beyond for the people you’re celebrating.

Perfect for employee appreciation days, client events, workplace wellness programs, retreats, and community gatherings throughout the Kansas City area.

Let My Massage Studios bring the care to you. Contact us to plan on-site chair massage for your next event!

From our hardworking family to yours Happy Labor Day Weekend. 💚

Before My Massage Studios became the warm, welcoming space our clients know today, it was a construction zone and our family was right there putting in the work.

We cleaned, painted, built, carried, organized, and did whatever needed to be done to turn an empty space into a place where people could feel better.

Today, the work continues through the massage therapists who bring their skill, strength, knowledge, and care into these rooms. From the hands that helped build the studio to the hands that now serve our clients, we understand what it means to labor with purpose.

This weekend, we’re honoring everyone whose work supports a family, serves others, strengthens a community, or helps build a dream.

Happy Labor Day Weekend from all of us at My Massage Studios!

Some massage therapists specialize in one style. Wren Quinn brings an entire toolbox to the table.

Her knowledge began with her experience as a yoga instructor and has grown to include traditional therapeutic massage, deep tissue and trigger point work, Intraoral (TMJ), Table Thai, cupping, warm stones, breathwork, and energy-focused services.

During Table Thai, Wren uses skilled draping to guide your body through a flowing combination of stretching and soft-tissue work. It’s a unique experience that brings together her understanding of movement, muscle tension, and soft tissue work.

But what makes Wren’s work especially meaningful is the woman behind it. She has faced adversity of her own, and instead of allowing those experiences to take her down, she chose to heal, grow, and use what she learned to support others along their own healing journeys.

Whether your body needs focused therapeutic work, greater mobility, nervous-system support, or space to simply breathe and reconnect, Wren knows how to create a session that meets you where you are.

We did a little Google searching to see which types of massage Kansas Citians are looking for most and Deep Tissue and Swedish Massage came out on top!

But what’s the difference?

Deep Tissue Massage uses shorter, more targeted techniques to work specific muscles and reach deeper layers of muscle tissue. Your massage therapist may use their thumbs, knuckles, forearms, or elbows to help tight areas loosen and move more freely.

Swedish Massage uses longer, smoother strokes with open hands and forearms. These techniques cover more surface area, helping larger muscle groups relax and encouraging an overall sense of calm.

One important reminder: Deep Tissue does not automatically mean “hard pressure,” and Swedish does not have to mean “light pressure.” Pressure should always be based on your comfort and what your body needs.

In simple terms:

🎯 Deep Tissue = focused work on specific muscles and deeper layers
🌿 Swedish = broader work that relaxes larger muscle groups and more superficial tissue

Both are amazing it simply depends on what you're needing that day!
