If you're looking for a professional yet warm and inviting atmosphere for a massage, especially a prenatal massage, from someone who knows what they're doing and will make you feel like a brand new person, look no further. I'm in my second trimester of pregnancy and my back was in a great deal of pain. I began to look up prenatal massage in the Brandon area and found several places that listed it as an option but no further details were given about the massage therapists' experience nor what to expect for a prenatal massage. And then I came across Serene Bodyworks where Ms Anita has a wonderfully

Was treated to a wonderful prenatal massage today. Can I just say it was amazing and Anita took very good care of both of us! She was very professional in explaining the benefits of the prenatal massage and answering any questions I had. She made me feel right at home. Such a sweet lady and she knows what she’s doing, I recommend anyone to experience her blessed hands! I will be going again for sure.

WOW! The BEST massage ever! I've been to very nice spas, I have had membership to a chain, but none have been more personalized for me than with Anita. She is so professional, personable, kind, and talented. Her knowledge surpasses any masseuse I have ever met. Can't wait for my next visit! Go see her! Remember " Anita (I need a) massage! 😍😁

Very good massage experience. Anita is such a nice and sweet lady. Place is clean and quiet. The massage itself was so relaxing I almost fell asleep. She gave the right pressure at the right places. This is a perfect gift to me from my husband’s family and Anita made it brilliant. Thank you and will book another session.

Anita is the best massage therapist in this area! From the first hello and her friendly and inviting spirit the environment into the peaceful and relaxing experience is AMAZING!! Now that I know how excellent her skills are it would be very difficult to relocate to another massage therapist. If you don't believe me, just try her yourself! Thank you Anita!!!

Anita is so wonderful. I went for scar tissue and endometriosis issues and I feel better after the first massage. She is skilled and knowledgeable and just so nice and open. I’m so happy right now

I have gone to Anita for several years. Every massage is amazing. No other LMT I've been to has been as effective. She sets a calming atmosphere and if there is a specific area that is particularly troublesome,, she takes the time to give it special attention. She is very patient and answers any questions or concerns you may have. If you are in he market for a new massage therapist, she gets my vote everytime.

I cannot say enough good things about Anita. I have been going to her for quite a few years and while I have been to others at times, she is hand-down THE best. I have some very difficult areas to work with and Anita always makes me feel better - without a lot of pain the following day (which I have experienced with other massage therapists.) She is very knowledgeable about the body. She has so many amazing specialties. I wish I had known her when I was going through pregnancy. I would highly recommend Anita and Serene Bodyworks with reservation.

Ms. Anita is absolutely amazing! She takes the time to listen to your needs, but also uses her skills to find all the troubled areas that you didn't know you had! Every time I leave Serene Bodyworks, I feel 150% better than when I arrived. Thank you Anita for being a consummate professional, having such vast knowledge, and loving what you do so much that it comes through in every session!
