Clinical intraoral massage for TMJ at Salve Bodywork + Massage in Kansas City, MO.
About
Hi, I'm Alexis, a TMJ massage therapist passionate about helping people find lasting relief through slow, intentional, whole-body treatment. While I specialize in intra-oral TMJ massage, I believe the jaw is only one piece of the puzzle. Every session is designed to address the surrounding muscles and connective tissues—from the neck and shoulders to the chest, scalp, and face—because true healing happens when we treat the body as a connected system, not just an isolated area. I'm known for my steady, therapeutic deep pressure and for creating TMJ sessions that are both clinically focused and deeply restorative. Chronic jaw pain often carries more than physical tension, so I strive to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can fully relax, release, and heal—physically and emotionally. I also believe the best outcomes happen through collaboration. I love building relationships with dentists, myofunctional therapists, chiropractors, physical therapists, pelvic floor therapists, ENTs, and other healthcare providers so clients receive a well-rounded, comprehensive approach to care.
New here?
Welcome I'm so glad you're here. Whether you're seeking relief from TMJ pain, chronic muscle tension, headaches, or simply looking for a place where you'll be genuinely listened to, you've come to the right place. My approach to massage is slow, intentional, and centered around you. Every body has a story, and rather than chasing symptoms, I take the time to understand how your body is connected. Together, we'll work toward lasting relief by addressing the root of your tension—not just the area that hurts. Your first session begins with a conversation about your health history, lifestyle, goals, and any concerns you may have. From there, I'll create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. No two sessions are exactly alike because no two bodies are the same. If you're booking a TMJ massage, know that we won't spend the entire session focused only on your jaw. While intra-oral massage is often an important part of treatment, we'll also address the muscles of your neck, shoulders, chest, scalp, and face—areas that commonly contribute to jaw pain and dysfunction. My goal is to help your entire body support healthier, more comfortable movement. Above all, I want you to feel safe, respected, and cared for. This is your time to slow down, breathe, and allow your body the opportunity to heal. I'm honored you've entrusted me with your care, and I look forward to being part of your wellness journey.
