About Serendipity Massage Therapy & Wellness

Your comfort is our priority at all times. Therapeutic massage can involve working on areas of tension that feel tender, but your therapist will always work within your comfort levels. Please do not hesitate to speak up during your session if you would like more or less pressure — good communication helps us deliver the most effective treatment possible. You should leave feeling better, not worse.

Massage therapy is safe for most people, but some conditions require extra care. Please let your therapist know about any health conditions, injuries, medications, or recent surgery before your session. Conditions such as blood clots, open wounds, severe osteoporosis, or active skin infections may mean certain treatments need to be modified. We carry out a brief consultation before your first appointment to make sure your treatment is right for you.

Our sessions range from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the treatment you choose. A 60-minute session is the most popular option and a great starting point if you are new to massage. Longer sessions allow your therapist to work across the whole body in greater depth. Full details of session lengths and pricing are available on our booking page.

Try to arrive a few minutes early so you have time to settle in before your session. Avoid a heavy meal for at least an hour beforehand, and drink plenty of water both before and after your treatment. For Traditional Thai Massage you can remain fully clothed, so wear something loose and comfortable. For oil-based treatments you will be asked to undress to underwear — towels and blankets are provided at all times to preserve your privacy. Please tell us in advance about any injuries or areas you would like us to avoid.

This depends on your individual needs and goals. If you are working through a specific issue such as chronic tension or stress, weekly sessions are often recommended initially, reducing to fortnightly or monthly as things improve. For general wellbeing and maintenance, most clients find a monthly session works very well. Your therapist will be happy to recommend a schedule that suits you.

Traditional Thai Massage is performed fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table. Your therapist uses their hands, thumbs, elbows, forearms, knees, and feet to apply firm pressure along the body's energy lines and to guide you through assisted stretches similar to yoga postures. No oils are used. Sessions typically leave you feeling both deeply relaxed and physically lighter, with noticeably improved flexibility and reduced muscle tension.
