For those of you who don't know, I recently won a massage at Market on the Pond at the Meadows Nursing Center. On Saturday, I redeemed it.

My 10 a.m. massage was courtesy of Serenity Wellness on North Main Street in Shavertown. It wasn't what I expected- in a good way. When I was looking for Serenity, I drove right past it. That's because it doesn't have a commercial appearance to it. Instead, the business is located inside of an older home.

Upon arrival, I filled out a paper and waited on a cushy couch. I was intrigued by a waterfall that was mounted on the wall. Fresh flowers greeted me on the table. My massage therapist, May, led me upstairs to a private room. Lavender walls and large windows (don't worry, there are blinds and you remain fully covered) soothed me. The morning summer air pleasantly filled my lungs.

As I laid on the table, my mind drifted. I relaxed to peaceful instrumental, possibly tribal, music. I wondered if someone once slept in the former bedroom. I really liked how I couldn't hear any hair dryers or people chatting. That is often the case in salon/day spa settings. As far as I know, Serenity doesn't do hair. They live up to their name.

I was in such a blissful state, I lost track of time. I couldn’t believe the hour passed so quickly. If only one hour at work would go by so fast.

After getting dressed, I met May downstairs. She handed me a complimentary bottle of water. Here's what I like the best: if you schedule an appointment for three weeks after, the price is $30. If you schedule for two weeks after, the cost is only $25. How can you beat $25 for a one-hour massage?

So if you're looking to treat yourself or someone else to relaxation, I highly recommend you give Serenity Wellness a try. The atmosphere is quiet, the prices are affordable and the service is phenomenal.
