What Our Clients Have to Say…

“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 detailed website where she lists all the information I was looking for. I called and left a voicemail and she returned my call within a couple hours and scheduled my appointment. When I arrived at her home, my first impression was how clean and tidy it was. She had me take a seat in a formal yet comfortable living area and fill out a health questionnaire which she went over with me to find out my problem areas as well as my preferences with pressure. She also explained the prenatal pillow which is a memory foam pillow that comforts your baby bump, not the pillow with a hole cut out which doesn’t support your growing abdomen. Then she lead me to the massage room which was a very clean, inviting, relaxing space with dimmed lights, soft music, and fresh clean sheets and left me to undress to my comfort level and try out the prenatal pillow. I must admit I was hesitant about laying on my stomach (those mama bear instincts to protect the bump are strong, let me tell you!) but I needn’t have worried. I truly felt supported by the pillow and within minutes I was fully relaxed. Ms Anita came in, asked if I was comfortable and got to work. Her expertise at giving a prenatal massage was quite clear as she knew exactly how to help soothe my sore muscles whilst always keeping my mind informed and my body supported. I very nearly fell asleep. Before I left she gave me an ice cold water as well as an opportunity to book a future massage (which I did!) and I felt like I’d made a new friend. It’s now a few days later and I still feel like a brand new person. I can’t wait to return in four weeks! If you are looking for an experienced, professional prenatal massage, I whole-heartedly recommended Ms Anita. Your pregnant body deserves the best!”
