Serenity Massage

Welcome to Serenity Massage, the premier destination for pain relief and prevention through therapeutic massage. I'm Karen K. Wardzala, founder, owner and the massage therapist of Serenity Massage, LLC. I'm delighted that you have found our website and look forward to helping you experience peace and harmony through massage.

Our Passion for Healing

I have always had a passion for the medical field and being involved in the recovery process of those in pain. As a child, I was fascinated by the human body and its multiple systems, working together to keep us alive and well. This fascination led me to pursue a degree in Nursing in 1981. However, I became disenchanted with over-prescription and mismanagement of the body's natural ability to heal. I fell in love with learning more about massage and its techniques to facilitate the body's healing processes through touch and manipulation of soft tissue. I went on to receive my degree in massage therapy in 2008.

At Serenity Massage, my goal is to take everything I have learned at the Cleveland Institute of Medical Massage, my past experience with nursing, and apply it all to helping heal my clients through massage. I make sure to take extra time with each client, one on one, to learn about their pain, stress and customize each massage to relieve their pain and tensions, or simply provide them with the relaxation to feel renewed again.

Our Services

Serenity Massage offers a variety of services, including Deep Tissue Massage, Maternity Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Neuro-Muscular Massage, Myofascial Release Massage and Doula Services. As a licensed massage therapist, I am trained to practice deep tissue, pre-natal, facial cupping, trigger point, cupping massage, sport massage, aromatherapy, myofascial, Neuro-Muscular, and hot stones. I am also a licensed Doula.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage concentrates on the deeper layers of the body's soft tissues to release chronic patterns of tension in the body. This type of massage is particularly effective for those suffering from chronic pain, inflammation, and stiffness.

Maternity Massage

Maternity Massage is designed specifically for expectant mothers and focuses on relieving the discomforts associated with pregnancy, such as lower back pain, sciatica, and swelling.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic Massage uses various techniques to achieve specific goals, such as pain relief, injury rehabilitation, and stress reduction. This type of massage is often recommended for those recovering from injuries, experiencing chronic pain or tension, or those looking to improve their overall well-being.

Neuro-Muscular Massage

Neuro-Muscular Massage targets specific areas of tension and pain, often caused by nerve compression or entrapment. This type of massage is particularly effective for those suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and other repetitive strain injuries.

Myofascial Release Massage

Myofascial Release Massage targets the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports the muscles, bones, and organs. This type of massage is particularly effective for those suffering from chronic pain, tension, and limited range of motion.

Doula Services

As a doula, I provide emotional and physical support to expectant mothers before, during, and after childbirth. My services include helping mothers create a birth plan, providing guidance during labor and delivery, and assisting with breastfeeding and postpartum care.

Our Approach

At Serenity Massage, our approach is different from that of a typical "spa." Although I wholeheartedly believe there is immeasurable value in using massage as a relaxation tool, my devotion to massage is as a healing tool - a results-oriented treatment to alleviate pain, resolve conditions, improve range of motion, and reduce injuries.
