A foot massage at Serenity Zen starts with a warm mineral soak, then steady pressure on the reflex points of the feet and lower legs. You stay fully clothed, at your own curtained station. Step by step, from arrival to the drive home.

A cooling balm of menthol and wintergreen oil for sore, stiff muscles. How it works, where it goes, and who should skip it.

Our essential oil blend is mixed in-house from five oils: lavender, lemon, eucalyptus, peppermint and melaleuca. What each one brings, how your therapist uses it, what it can and cannot do, and simple ways to use oils at home.

What a mindfulness exercise is, plus five you can do each morning in about ten minutes: ten slow breaths, a body scan, slow stretches, one task and one intention.
