To select your ideal massage session choose from the following, or call for more information.

*Bodywork/Deep Tissue*
 a great session aiming at working out those 'knots',
 easing and freeing tight muscles,
yet leaving you feeling wonderfully relaxed.
Slow, deep strokes mean deeper muscles can be targeted. 
 

*Remedial / Sports Injury*

-  for more specific problem areas including old & recent injuries,

 strains, tight leg muscles, shoulder, neck and back discomfort,

combined with stretches & muscle tension release techniques

to help relieve discomfort and improve joint mobility.

 

*Thai acupressure*

 Northern Thai style performed over loose clothing and

 based on balancing the 'Sensib'

 (Thai for the ten main pairs of energy lines believed to run throughout the body).

Using thumbs and hands, rhythmic acupressure is applied along the lines.

The Thai view is that this is to clear possible energy blocks, harmonise mind, body and spirit.

Clients having Thai seated neck and shoulder sessions have said that these are

very good for relieving tension headaches often saying they can feel the tension melting away.


 

 *Company On-site chair massage*    

Introduced to England in the late 80's after much success in Silicon Valley and received in the workplace in

a specially designed chair provided by the therapist. It is received over clothing; no oils are used. Often

promoting a sense of well being and centering it has been descrived as an instant stress buster, a real

tonifier and treat for neck, shoulders, arms and back. Ideal for staff well being sessions, conferences and

back. Feedback has been ..."What did you do to do him? He was so stressed before and came back like a different person."

"This chair is so comfortable, it's relaxing in itself."

  "I never would have realised that there was so much tension in my arms"  and

"Every day should include this."

 *Swedish*
- light, soothing and uplifting.
The oil or cream used enhances the flow of the long, stroking movements.

 

*Reiki * 

(Initiated in the Second Degree of The Universal Healing System and the

Usui System of Reiki Natural Healing), Serenity Works now also offers these relaxing sessions 

 

 

A few Q & A's

Can I book today?
As much notice as possible means more chance of the session time you'd prefer,
but if you'd like an appointment today it's always worth calling to check if there's a free space.


What should I wear?
Best to wear loose style comfortable clothing.
Consideration for modesty and comfort means that only the areas being worked on are left undraped.


How do I know which session to choose?
There's a brief description of the different massage styles above and when you call to book there's another opportunity to see what might suit you best.

What if I can't make the session I've booked?
Please call (with ideally 48 hours notice) to let me know if you are unable to make your appointment.
It may be possible to re-schedule your session, or allocate it to someone else who had wanted an appointment.
Two consecutive missed appointments, without prior notification, will incur a missed session charge.


Why do people book massage sessions with you Elaine?
The most common reasons seem to be
- people find the website, try three or four sessions and say they feel benefit from it.
-
they have been suffering from discomfort from neck, shoulder and back muscles;
   pain and stress which they have decided to do something about.
- they feel improvement in the way their body feels and opt for maintenance sessions
- they see that it's good value for money and it's enjoyable
- it's adaptable eg relaxing or invigorating; deep tissue or more gentle pressure and in a relaxing environment
- they have been recommended - then recommend others and receive discount on their next session
- they've received a gift voucher from a friend, relative or loved one
....and because of feedback they've been kind enough to let me share in some of the Client Testimonials below ....

"Elaine is a fantastic masseuse. I have been to a good few different masseuses and

Elaine is among the best, really working the massage deep which I like.
She also pays much attention to detail all around ie. body position, room temperature etc
and apart from a grade A professional Elaine is a lovely lady too.
Recommended :)"
Lee - Shirley, West Mids
