Imagine that feeling when you walk into a massage studio or spa. The warm, soothing environment wraps you in calming vibes.
For a second, you close your eyes and take a deep, cleansing breath. Then let it go.
And floating all around you are the sounds of a gently trickling fountain and soft flute music. Subtle and soothing yet powerful.
Finally, there’s the feelings of excitement and anticipation. Of being able to just let go. Of letting yourself be taken care of for a change.
Welcome to my sanctuary of relief and relaxation. Because, let’s be honest, sometimes you just need to get away for a while.
Massage Therapy & Bodywork
Hi, my name is Dina and at Center of Serenity, my focus is on you. So, whether you have chronic migraines, got carried away in spin class or just need an escape from the kids (your secret’s safe with me), I’m here to help.
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) with over 27 years of experience, trained at The Chicago School of Massage Therapy, graduating in 1993. In my practice, I take pride in being able to quickly identify a person’s unique concerns. For this reason, I practice many types of bodywork, allowing me to offer you the most specific treatments to target and address your immediate needs.
Of the varied styles available to you is Swedish massage, which is light and calming, for when you just want to relax. At the other end of the spectrum I do intense, deep tissue work including trigger point massage. This is popular with athletes, fitness enthusiasts and even those working jobs that require repetitive motion like being at a computer all day.
Another treatment I offer is Reiki energy work. Reiki (ray-key) is an ancient healing technique from Japan that helps improve the flow of stagnant energy caused by physical or emotional injury. I hold the Certification of Master in this discipline (2005).

Skin care and Hair Removal
After years of working in massage, I realized a strong passion for skin care. In 2010, I graduated from Tricoci University of Beauty Culture as a Licensed Esthetician. Here, I became aware how very important skin care can be, especially your daily home skin care routine.
I’m proud to offer customized facials, chemical peels and waxing to make your skin look and feel amazing. When you’re strong and confident in how your skin looks, you feel unstoppable.
And just like the body, everyone’s skin is different. So, I’m always excited to be able to help personalize your home regimen or recommend the best products for your particular skin type or condition.
If you have any questions, you can call me or schedule an in-person consultation. And we can figure out the best plan for you, together.
Bodywork and skin care are so important, not simply to relieve sore muscles and help you look younger and fresher but to help balance yourself, inside and out. And when you’re in balance you know it, because it feels incredible.
I believe so much in helping people. It’s what I love. And to me, there’s no greater feeling than being able to make a lasting difference in your life and health. So, if it’s massage, skin care or hair removal that you need, please know you are in the best of hands. Allow me to help you escape to your very own Center of Serenity.
Isn’t it time you took care of yourself for a change?
