Sweet Serenity Bespoke Facial
This personalized facial combines modern skincare technology with ancient eastern techniques to address individual skin needs. Using pure plant ingredients and aromatic flower peptides, the treatment includes Gua Sha and Kansa Wand acupressure to improve circulation and reduce inflammation. The 90-minute session features a customized mask selection and concludes with a relaxing scalp massage to promote complete relaxation while delivering both immediate glow and long-term skin health improvements.
Sacred Stone Massage
This therapeutic massage utilizes warmed jade stones to release muscle tension and improve energy flow. The stones' heat penetrates deep into tissues while their smooth surfaces provide a soothing glide during massage. Available in sessions ranging from 30 minutes to 90 minutes, the treatment combines Swedish massage techniques with hot stone therapy to alleviate stress-related aches and promote circulation. Clients often report improved sleep quality and reduced anxiety following sessions.
Sacred Herbal Poultice
This traditional therapy uses warmed herbal poultices filled with ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass to deliver deep muscle relaxation. The compresses' therapeutic heat penetrates tissues while the aromatic properties provide respiratory benefits. The 90-minute treatment includes full-body application with alternating warm and cool compresses to stimulate circulation. Particularly effective for chronic muscle pain and joint stiffness, this service combines physical therapy with aromatherapy benefits in a single session.
Sacred Earth & Flowers
This full-body treatment begins with a flower-infused scalp massage followed by warm herbal compresses and flower petal applications. The 120-minute session features alternating temperature therapy using warmed stones and cooling botanicals to stimulate circulation. Clients receive a customized body scrub using natural exfoliants followed by a hydrating flower essence wrap. The treatment concludes with a guided meditation to enhance the grounding effects of the floral aromatherapy components.
Gua Sha Facial
This specialized facial technique uses jade rollers and Gua Sha tools to improve lymphatic drainage and reduce facial puffiness. The 60-minute session includes a customized serum application followed by precise scraping techniques to lift and contour facial muscles. Clients receive instruction on at-home maintenance while experiencing immediate skin brightening effects. Particularly effective for reducing under-eye circles and jawline tension, this service combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern skincare science.

This is the place to go for massages. It can be almost mystical. Great background music, bells, a singing bowl, her lovely voice. I've also had hot rocks and essential oils. It's all very relaxing and therapeutic. I mostly go for the relaxation, the spa experience, however, she can really help out with injuries as well.

I have been blessed to enjoy the incredible services at Serenity Spa for the last 25 years. Relaxing and rejuvenating facials that have diminished my wrinkles and acne over the years accompanied by professional YonKa skin care products I can purchase at the spa to help me maintain healthy skin. I would highly recommend facials, massage, and skin care products I always leave feeling relaxed and grounded and love spending time in Denises tranquil surroundings. 10/10.
