Finding the Best Massage Near You
Two studios in the San Gabriel Valley
Serenity Zen opened in West Covina in 2012 and in Diamond Bar in 2018. Parking is free at both. Open daily, 10 AM to 9 PM.

What you can book
Foot reflexology: every visit opens with a warm mineral soak, at your own station in the Reflex Lounge, with heavy curtains closed around it.
Body massage: Swedish through deep tissue, in a private room.
The Combination: foot massage, then body massage, in one visit, at the same curtained station. The most booked service at both studios.
Couples: two guests starting at the same time, each choosing their own service, length and pressure.
Prenatal: side-lying and bolstered.
The full menu and the times that are open appear on the booking page for each studio.
Pressure is set by you
Tell the front desk where you want the work and how much pressure you like; it goes to your therapist before you start. Say so if you want it changed partway through, and you never have to explain why. You stay covered by a sheet the whole time, and only the area being worked on is uncovered.
Book ahead
Booking ahead holds your time, which matters most on weekends and evenings. There are lockers for your things, with a key bracelet you keep.

What to look for
"Best" is doing a lot of work in that search. Here is what actually separates one massage spa from another, and where Serenity Zen stands on each.
Certified therapists. In California, look for CAMTC certification: at least 500 hours at an approved school, at least 100 of them on anatomy, physiology, safety and ethics, and fingerprints filed with the California Department of Justice and the FBI. Every therapist here is CAMTC certified.
Pressure that changes when you ask. A common complaint about any massage is pressure that was too light, too firm, or never adjusted. Say what you want at the start, and say so again if it needs to change.
A private, covered session. You undress to your own comfort level in private and stay covered by a sheet throughout. Only the area being worked on is uncovered.
Somewhere for your belongings. There are lockers, and you keep the key with you during the session.
Recent, detailed reviews. The useful ones describe real visits: the pressure, the draping, the room. Read ours.
Hours that fit a real schedule. Open daily, 10 AM to 9 PM.
More detail is on the questions page and the policies page.
