Testimonials

Gathered by Laura from admiring massage clients to share with you.

Sept. 25, 2025 in McLean, VA (in-studio)

As one sho has been getting massages frequently for three decades, I am confident in making the claim that you will find no better massage therapist anywhere in the world
than Laura. Her knowledge of the human body and it healing ability is unparalleled. In addition, she cares about her clients beyond physical care. She is incredibly sensitive, smart as a whip and sweet beyond compare. I hesitate to write this only because she will soon scarf up more clients and I won't be able to get an appointment!

I had an amazing massage with Laura. I told her about an issue I was having with my shoulders and she knew how to treat it. She is very knowledge and attentive. I highly recommend. I will definitely be back.

Laura is Phenomenal!. The lymphatic drainage massage and wrap was amazing. I lost inches overnight and two pounds and it was the best sleep I've had in awhile. She is professional, thorough, diligent, and kind. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. I'll be back.
