Report
I just had an amazing massage by Laura Manfred. I can't recommend her highly enough. Her intuitive sense and ability to use the right amount of pressure in exactly the right spot, and to give such a deep, relaxing, balancing, and healing massage are well above what I've experienced from many other massage therapists. And, the space in which she has her massage studio is incredibly grounding and beautiful. I'm definitely going back!

My Father-in-law suffers from a very rare disease that causes his muscles to be in high tension every day of this life. I referred him to Laura and my Father-in-law has returned to her multiples times because it gives him such a relief from his pain. I highly recommend referring your friends and family to Laura.

Laura is incredible! I was in town for a project working some very long days and a massage was exactly what I needed toward the end to get my body back in harmony. Laura is one of the most skilled and intuitive massage therapists I've ever met. She takes her time and truly feels what your body has to tell her. She found every knot and sensitive area, traced them back to their origin, and effectively worked them through. I left feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle my day! I highly recommend Laura and hope to make my way back to Northfield to see her sometime in the near future!
