A firm-pressured tissue massage combining traditional Swedish movements to alleviate tension in the body’s muscles to create a general sense of well-being.  Swedish massage is a treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation.  Five basic strokes, all flowing towards the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body.  A combination of kneading, rolling, percussion and tapping movements, with the application of oil, are used to loosen up, tone and relax the muscles.  Pressure can be adapted for personal preference.

The treatment is performed using vegetable-based oils and Sérénité recommend incorporating aromatherapy essential oils with their individual therapeutic properties.  Please ask if you are interested in this as we will be able to tailor a unique blend to suit your particular physical and emotional requirements.

Therapeutic Massage treats a wide range of symptoms and conditions and the origins of any imbalance but it may also be a relaxing, stress relieving treatment and is suitable for people without specific problems, who simply want to unwind from their busy lives.
