 Restorative - Healing - Therapeutic - Body Positive

With 24 years of dance performance behind her, Ashley sought new natural ways to help rehabilitate her mind and body from the years of wear and tear. Upon graduating in 2015 as a Massage Therapist and Health Educator from The National Holistic Institute of California, Ashley felt the profound effects Massage Therapy had on her life.  Within her own journey of body acceptance and spiritual healing via holistic practices, she discovered her passion for facilitating healing in others. Ashley has spent many years crafting her practice on the principles of providing a safe and nurturing space for all through therapeutic bodywork. After years of building her private practice as one of the top rated mobile therapists in Los Angeles, working with such charities as the PAWS Walk, Disney Marathons and The Make A Wish Foundation, she has also worked privately with celebrities and for events that have hosted reality television stars such as The Real Housewives Of Orange County and Dancing With The Stars. Ashley is now extremely excited to share her experiences with Meditation, Body Positivity and holistic practices with Kansas City!  

Massage Poppy was created with the hope of changing the way we view Massage Therapy, our drive is to spread the awareness of all the profound physical and mental health benefits massage has to offer. We strive to restore the mind, body and spirit with a holistic  and therapeutic intent. Many may feel intimidated by the though of receiving body work, especially for the first time, so we focus on creating a safe space that is judgement free, where compassionate touch and healing are brought to every curated session.

Ashley has been trained in eastern and western modalities and enjoys  melding all techniques to customize every session based on your goals. We don't believe in the cookie cutter massages or a revolving door of therapists, when booking, everything is done with Ashley directly. Listening to the body and the needs of each client is imperative, communication is key during every session to insure a well rounded therapeutic experience.
