About Our Team

We love what we do, and it shows!

a note from the owner

The best part of my job is knowing that no matter who you book with, you will have a GREAT experience. When I started Solaris Massage in 2004, it was just me and my paper appointment book. Today, we are a team of licensed massage therapists and detail-oriented desk professionals. We just do massage, and we do it well. Each therapist brings their own unique style and perspective to the job of relaxation, and I encourage you to try every single one of them! My mom answers the phone remotely, sometimes from Puerto Rico. Listen closely, you may hear chickens.

  • We’ve served Kansas City for years with a loyal community of regulars who trust our care. Every Solaris therapist is licensed, insured, and committed to professional, ethical practice. [See our licensing & credentials].

  • Every session is tailored to your goals—drawing on our LMTs’ years of hands-on experience and ongoing advanced training. From Ashiatsu to Solaris-Style Hot Stone and focused therapeutic blends, we match technique and pressure to you—not the other way around. [Explore Specialty Massage]

  • Feeling better is a practice. Between appointments we cheer you on with free Walking Club meet-ups, simple “do-at-home” moves, and gentle accountability—so your progress doesn’t stop at the table. [Join the Walking Club]

    Kip

    Owner

    "Founder" is a term no Star Trek fan would use.

    Kip started doing massage professionally in the late 90's and with over 25 years of experience and training in various modalities, she focuses on a neuro-mechanical approach to helping clients relax. Working next to a gym has firmly centered massage within a fitness framework for Kip and her team.
