I have gone to several other massage businesses in the Killeen/ Harker Heights area, and this business by far is the best. Laura Skarpa has an innate instinct for giving massages and doesn't just do the same routine every time. She also is very sensitive to your needs and always inquires as to how you are feeling before she starts. She also goes to classes to learn about new techniques and ideas, and teaches others her skills. I am so glad that we were informed about Laura and her great skills!

Laura Skarpa is a technically skilled massage therapist. Additiionallly, she is a valued massage therapy educator at a nearby college-she knows what she’s doing, and her attitude is always positive and concerned about her clients!

I enjoy when I can have a small conversation about my days and relate to what Mrs.Laura, never feeling awkward while getting treated for my injures. But most of all, when Mrs.Laura tell me to sit up and move my head around (since i was injured on the shoulders) to see if I could feel any tension, its remarkable that the pain on my shoulders seem as if they never existed. I highly recommend other people to visit Mrs.Laura at "Tranqui Retreat Therapy and Massage Clinic" for any needs of injuries or need therapy.
Thank you, Mrs. Laura. For helping me while I slowly heal from my injury on my shoulders.
