At Serenity, Michelle Bar-av prides herself on delivering unmatched professional massage therapy with nearly three decades of expertise.

Clients across the East Coast seek her healing touch, recognizing the deep understanding and intricate connection between mind and body she brings to every session. Michelle's approach to massage therapy is holistic and transformative, beginning with an in-depth assessment to tailor the experience to your unique needs. Her signature 60-minute customized massage, rooted in nearly 25 years of industry experience, is designed to address the physical and emotional imprints of trauma and stress. This mindful experience facilitates a pathway to release and renewal and creates a safe and nurturing space dedicated to empowering women on their journey toward holistic wellness. Indulge in the therapeutic touch of Michelle's hands, complemented by the warmth of hot stones and the calming scent of essential oils.

Beyond the physical therapy, Michelle offers a comprehensive post-treatment assessment. She imparts wisdom on preventing muscle injuries and enhancing body awareness through mindful bodywork and breathwork techniques. Following the transformative power of her therapy, it is advised to avoid strenuous exercises immediately afterward to absorb the benefits fully. Michelle's commitment to holistic healing is enhanced by her ongoing education, promising even deeper support and insight upon graduation. Each visit is an opportunity to experience expert massage therapy and mental health awareness harmony in one nurturing environment.

Michelle spent time listening to my concerns. She asked questions to get a feel for my expectations and what I would feel comfortable with during the massage. Once I got up and moving around, my pain was GONE!! The first time in months. Thx so much, Michelle. I will be back!!

Michelle is incredibly talented and experienced. I have had muscle pain for quite some time now and not only did she rid me of my pain, she also gave me a plan to help keep me limber for the future! I found her so easy to talk to as well. I will be going back for treatment as much as possible! Cathy Stein
