Serenity Massage offers customized massage therapy. Jill tailors each session to fit the current needs of her client. I have had the pleasure of exclusively working with Jill for all my massage therapy needs for over 3 years. From her professional on-site, corporate chair massages to seeing her at her studio for a table massage, Jill always provides stress relief, muscle relaxation and overall well-being. I have also had the chance to visit Jill recently, during the Coronavirus pandemic. Jill’s accommodations were spotless and even in an intimate setting like massage, Jill was able to provide

Jill is wonderful and creates such a relaxing and therapeutic experience. I get massages from her as part of my healthcare routine and she remembers what works best to give me a customized massage. I am very comfortable with the COVID precautions she has in place and trust that her customer's health and safety is a top priority.

Jill is as wonderful of a massage therapist as she is a friend! I have had the pleasure of knowing her and volunteering with her for many years, and recently have had a massage with her. As a chronic pain patient that's had 5 surgeries in the past 3.5 years, I had a lot of tension, pain, and muscle dysfunction for her to work through. The entire massage, I couldn't stop exhaling from relief, tension melting out of my body, and how amazing it felt! She is professional, kind, warm, and knows how to let you relax in a peaceful environment. Her rate is more than worth it, and she is always looking

I was in quite a lot of pain so I was in search of a place that does a chair massage that wasn't the mall. I called around and found Jill at Serenity. She was able to squeeze me in within the hour.
The neck, shoulder, head and lower back pain I was having was addressed. Jill is a listener and she will highlight and address the body parts that are ailing you.
All-in-all it was a very positive experience. She also does traditional massages but I can't lay on my stomach.
