Jill Degani
LMT, Massage Therapy/Massage Therapist
Jill Degani is a licensed massage therapist here at Very Well KC. She has been licensed since 2020, has a bachelor’s degree in Biology and a background in healthcare. She aligns with massage therapy’s view of treating the body holistically and encouraging the body’s natural healing processes. She has an intuitive, trauma-sensitive, and body-positive approach and her style blends relaxation and therapeutic. She values the simple benefit of some time to distress from daily life and reconnect with your body, while also targeting any specific aches and pains.
Jill allows the client to customize their session so that each session is unique and catered to the client’s specific needs. Her services are all-inclusive so any “add-ons” don’t come with an additional cost. Clients can incorporate any of the following: hot stones, cupping, facial cupping, abdominal cupping, facial gua sha, and peppermint scalp massage. She also offers prenatal massage at either 30 or 60 minute sessions. Her goal is to listen to each client, provide a safe, comfortable environment and work with them to achieve a better state of health and wellness.
Katie Moore
Massage Therapist & Reiki Healer
LMT, CMLDT
I have been a licensed Massage Therapist since 2020. Before going to massage school I worked as a medical assistant for 10 years. I try to utilize my medical background in all of my massage treatments as necessary. I live a holistic lifestyle, and love to be able to help my clients incorporate that in any areas they may need or want guidance on. Using this holistic approach in my practice, I believe my main job is to serve as a vessel for my clients to be able to achieve their own healing as the body was designed to do. I am Reiki certified and really enjoy working with clients to find and address any kind of blocked energy that could be creating disturbances in their healing process. I believe my massage room to be a safe sanctuary where anyone is welcome and will be free of judgement. Any emotions or feelings that come up during a session are valid and welcome, and will be met with love and kindness. My goal in every session is to listen to the client, and really understand what their goals are for each session, whether that be relaxation or areas of pain.I also work as a hospice massage therapist, so I have experience with all ages and many different medical conditions. I am certified in Manual Lymph Drainage, and cupping and feel both of these modalities can be very beneficial if indicated. In my free time you will find me hanging out with my children and fiance, or just being outside enjoying nature.
Any of my services can be added on to a session without additional charges. These services include: hot stones, cupping, facial cupping, abdominal cupping, Reiki, and manual lymph drainage. I also offer prenatal massages and use a prenatal pillow that allows you to safely be on your stomach and creates a very comfortable and relaxing environment for moms to be.

Nic Hathaway
Massage Therapist & Reiki Healer
Nic is a massage therapist, Reiki healer, father, philosopher, and spouse. He has been licensed in massage since 2020, and has practiced Reiki since 2022. A massage session with Nic is a pause from the stressors of the daily routine. It is a chance for the nervous system to relax, and an opportunity for stiff and tired muscles to let their guard down. His massage style achieves this through a slow, deliberate, intuitive, and perfectly weighted touch that works with the body’s miraculous ability to repair itself when it feels safe to do so. As a Reiki healer, Nic listens to where the energy needs to go and obeys. A session might feel like a calming reset, a burst of intense energy, a transformative emotional release, or something completely different and unique to the individual.
