Jenn Manuel, LMT is now providing massage therapy for residents of The Mayflower Community in the Integrated Health suite on the lower level of the Pearson building, 616 Broad Street.
Jenn is the owner of Sixth Sense Massage, Newton. She graduated with honors from Body Wisdom Massage Therapy School, Urbandale in October 2022. The following month, Jenn opened her private practice in Newton. Her husband and she both deal with chronic pain, which led her to massage school so that they could benefit but, also, so that she could assist others.
Jenn’s goal as an LMT (licensed massage therapist) is to provide pain relief to her clients, whether it be back, feet, legs, or arms. Her mission is to assist the body in its healing process. Doing so means decreasing tension, stress, and pain while gaining increased range of motion and better overall feeling.
Jenn’s services differ from the standard LMT in that she doesn’t just provide standard relaxation techniques, she likes to target the root of the problem and help with immediate pain relief. In addition, she is licensed in cupping, trigger-point therapy, and reflexology.
Jenn will be the second massage therapist to practice at The Mayflower Community as the demand for massages has been so strong.

Hannah O’Polka, Mayflower’s Well-Being Coordinator, says about Jenn’s addition, “We are excited to add to the expanding group of Well-Being providers here at Mayflower. In a mere six months residents have gone from being somewhat inactive during COVID-19 to attending educational events and exercise classes, up to five times per week. In addition, residents have used our HydroMassage beds and other integrated health services and equipment. Because of the growing demand for massage and other recovery services, it was important for us to bring in another provider. Jenn will bring her expertise on reflexology and trigger-point therapy to help our active adults recover more effectively while reducing pain and inflammation so they can continue to enjoy various activities.”
