Serendipity Wellness Studio

I am so happy that Jennifer gave me my maternity massage. She reviewed my medical history and discussed what to expect very thoroughly. I was expecting a soft massage as I was pregnant; however, I was very happy when she gave be a stronger massage.
While receiving the treatment I already knew I wanted to schedule another appointment in a month.
Thank you Jennifer. If I could give you 6-​stars, I would!

Very clean and Vanessa was awesome, she got out all my knots! I really enjoyed my massage here, the price is reasonable, unlike the RITZ.

Time for an update! First off, this location is close to home! Second, everyone on staff is awesome! Third, pricing is very competitive compared to the big box spas! Tip: on Wednesdays, they offer 10% off a 60 minute or more service.
Don’t be distracted that you are walking up to what looks like a doctor’s office. The entry way has self serve water, hot teas and coffee. They all sell doTerra essential oils and products.
You can make appointments online. I loved my new therapist. I had not come in a year or so because I didn’t really like the first therapist, can’t remember her name. The hubby bought me a gift certificate so I thought I’d give them another try. Based on reviews, I booked with Luz! She is EXCELLENT! I have booked with her twice both 90 minutes and her skill is amazing! She takes care of those neck knots and I don’t feel after-​pain. She is also trained in Thai massage and I am so glad that her pressure is perfect. She is not a «chatter» which is another super plus! I come to relax not to chat which is the problem with some therapists. Liz is professional, very skilled and definitely knows her stuff!

I woke up one day unable to move my head to the left because my neck and left shoulder were very tight. After a couple days of horrible pain, I booked a pregnancy massage with very little notice on a Sunday and they were able to schedule me with Noriko immediately. The room was very calming and the oils she used were very soothing. Noriko paid extra attention and worked my neck and left shoulder very well. I was so relaxed and almost fell asleep! After the massage I didn’t have any more pain — it was amazing! I also noticed that the massage took the full hour and they did not factor in the time it took me to undress and fill out paperwork, which was a huge plus in my book.
I recently had a massage at Massage Green Spa in Fairfax and it was not as good compared to Serendipity. The massage took 50 mins because they factored in the time it took me to undress and answer their questions. I highly recommend Serendipity Green Spa compared to other massage places in Fairfax!

Everyone should have a reliable spot they can go to get their kinks worked out. If you live in the Burke/​Springfield area, that place should be Serendipity. Their online reservation system is great and their prices are very reasonable. They offer discounts if you buy packages or visit on slower days which is a good deal. All of their massage therapists that I’ve seen are very attentive and soothing.

Saw Jenna today. She was able to release some knots in my shoulders and tension in my lower back and neck that had been bothering me for quite a while. Will definitely go to her again.

My wife and I did a couples massage for her birthday. Great place. Don’t let the building exterior deter you, this place is everything a day spa should be. Eve did an amazing job. I can’t wait to go back.

**Review for appointments with Eve**
Came here after finding out that new therapist was onsite (Eve) who would be here on Weds. for Ashiatsu. I prefer this form of massage as it tends to be the deepest form and helps with myofascial stretching and release.
Eve asked me to give a description of my issues and I also explained that I lift weights six times a week. The lifting tends to put a lot of wear and tear on me. She assessed the areas that I described having issues with and let me know what she’d like to try. Each session we’ve done more than just Ashiatsu. We did stretching, Thai massage, and lymphatic drainage — all which worked in helping my lower back, shoulder and hip issues.
Also have to add how strong she is which caught me off guard but totally helps in helping me stretch and moving me around. I’m 6’3″ 360lbs and she handled me with ease. Being a big guy this helped me let go and let her work on me.
I HIGHLY recommend Eve for anyone looking for deeeeep tissue therapy and especially if you’re into any kind of weight lifting.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try a couple’s massage and found Serendipity online. Neither of us had ever gotten a massage and we’re so glad Serendipty was the first place we got one. Beautiful studio and WONDERFUL customer service. David was my masseuse and he was awesome. Very kind and great at his job. I would definitely recommend Serendipty and look forward to my next visit!

I booked a facial appointment thru their website on a Wednesday where you can get $ 10 off for any 60min. session or longer. I have been doing a facial for several years but it has been a while since I got my last one due to pregnancy and I informed her about that. My facial experience went OK. Ravi was nice but I was not 100% comfortable during my session. The oil and scrub that she put on my face went to my eyes several times and it hurts. She wiped it with a wet cotton right away but it was not enough and then she had to put a little bit of water to clean it off. I also informed her that the steam machine was way too hot and she basically said «It is supposed to be like that». She turned it down but I didn’t feel any difference. I understand that but aren’t you supposed to adjust on what’s the client comfort zone? This was not my first time to get a facial so I am very aware with the routine. For that experience, I don’t think it was worth paying $ 90. I have had better experience with only paying half of the price.

Raja is a phenomenal masseuse!
During my massage, I started to feel so much better. I have had many massages at other spas but none left me feeling this good because of serious problem areas. I am so pleased that I was able to get immediate relief! My trainer at the fitness center had been suggesting that I get massages but I kept putting it off because of inconsistent and sometimes disappointing experiences at Massage Envy in Burke.
I was so worried that it would be almost too painful because I’m so pressure-​sensitive. Raja listened and knew exactly how to get me better. I did not suffer (my fear). The heat was wonderful! My legs felt so light afterwards, buoyant … a great sensation!
Yes, I did schedule another massage.

I had a facial done with ravi today, she is awesome !!
My face looks clean, fresh and I am definitely coming back

I continue to receive excellent massages from my therapist and an overall very positive experiences at Serendipity. If you might be a regular customer, I highly recommend getting a membership and you can get your first service each month at a big discount.

Easy to make an appointment and use gift card. Very nice specialized services. If you want a woman you have to make an appointment way in advanced because they are highly requested. David (?) did a great job with my husband! He had somewhat recently had a herniated disc and his muscles were extremely sore from having to compensate. He was extremely please with Serendipity from the front staff to the massage specialist.

I went to Serenity on 7÷5÷15 and had a 90 minute massage with Laura. I found Serenity through Spa Finder (and by cross referencing it with Unilocal).
The location in Burke, VA is very convenient (took me 15 minutes to get their on a Sunday night) to Alexandria and the surrounding areas.
I will start with what I didn’t like and finish with what I liked and why I would consider coming back.
I don’t like how the check in and check out process is set up at Serenity. The space does not have a front desk designated and when I arrived (had I not called to say I was a little lost) I am not sure anyone would have known I was in the lobby.
They also have merchandise for sale but it wasn’t clear who you go to purchase it.
Each massage therapist is responsible for checking out their clients. It felt a little awkward (specifically, when it came to providing a tip). I am use to having someone else do the transaction (and then giving the therapist the tip).
I also have to dig my therapist for not understanding how to check out with the 2 Spa Finder gift cards I had brought (and this was the reason for me trying Serenity in the 1^st place). My check out process took over 30 minutes. I was worried when I left that I had been charged multiple times.
Although, the checkout process was a bit of bundler; I would still consider going back to Laura. She was excellent and really found a way to apply enough pressure to make it a deep tissue massage without pain.
I also loved that Laura (Serenity) offers as part of their massage aromatherapy (by breathing in fragrant oils).
If you’d like they’ll offer you a heating pad during your massage also.
The massage room itself was very spacious and could see why they can comfortable offer couples massages.
The room also was not over the top (which I have seen) with yoga like symbols and/​or different colored walls.
Laura was also great with keeping up with a pleasant conversation and understanding when I was quiet not to be worried.
I’d go back to Serenity more often if it wasn’t so expensive (that is a comment on massages overall). My overall experience was very good.
It is also a nice feature that Serenity offers single massages and/​or the ability to purchase a package of massages for either 6 months or a year. The packages although don’t offer you a huge savings are a nice idea if you plan on getting massages frequently. I also thought. How they presented their packages in a folder were very clear in terms of the monthly pricing and the time periods. I didn’t have the same clarity when I went to Massage Envy which also offers packages.

I highly recommend Paige. She’s not only really friendly, but the facial was great. Whenever I get a facial, I come here. But, if you’re unsure of what esthetician to choose — book Paige, if you can. The atmosphere is really nice, and they’ve moved into a bigger place since I last came. Even the receptionist was super friendly.

Yesterday, April 20^th, my fiancé and I went to our very first massage. I booked us a couples massage. My therapist was David and my fiancée therapist was Bonnie. I can not even begin to explain how wonderful our experience was. They were both so welcoming and nice the entire time. They took time in the beginning to see what we were looking for. My fiancés occupation requires hard manual labor and Bonnie made sure she got all of the knots out of his back and shoulders. We will be returning that’s for sure.

I had a 60 minute massage this evening with Jennifer. Everything about my experience was fantastic! Jennifer was really warm and friendly, and you definitely get the feeling that she cares about the well-​being of her clients. She did great work, and I will be sure to see her again! The best part of the treatment was how warm it all was – warm table, hot towels, etc. Incredible!
The treatment room was so calm, and the smells of the lotions and whatnot weren’t overwhelming but were genuinely calming.
All in all, a lovely experience. I’ll be back for another massage a and want to try some of their other services, too!

Was having troubles sleeping and lower back pains. Searched Unilocal for massages around me. Found Serendipity and was able to book online for first thing the next morning.
I booked the 60 minutes custom massage was Luz. BEST MASSAGE EVER!
She was able to help my lower back pain with a variety of massage techniques. She is very knowledgeable in the massage field and knew exactly where to focus on. She uses traditional Swedish + deep tissue, Thai stretching, as well as walking on my back and hamstrings.
I’ve gone to many upscale luxury spas and have paid double or even triple of what serendipity charges for less quality massages.
I will be back to have Massage sessions with Luz.
Thank you Luz! Because of you I was able to sleep like a baby! Also, my back feels 1000x better!

Over the past year I’ve experienced twin frozen shoulders. If you know what those are, you know how much it sucks. If you don’t… may you never know.
I visited Serendipity Wellness Studio a few months ago, with the goal of doing something– anything– to encourage an increase in my range of motion.
It was recommended that I try the Isometric Muscle Balancing.
The studio was relatively easy to find, even though I wasn’t from the area. And it was a pleasant environment. Make sure you show up a little early for your first appointment so that you can fill out paperwork.
As for the session, I distinctly remember thinking that I was wasting my time. Sure, I felt relaxed but I couldn’t see any way that this process was going to help. I still felt the same way while I was paying. That the woman was very nice, but whatever, this was a wasted trip. I was still thinking the same thing as I walked down the stairs and opened the door without thinking (something I’d actually had trouble doing when I arrived). It finally hit me when I reached around to adjust my seat belt. My shoulders were slightly better. I could reach my back belt loop for the first time in 4 months.
Highly recommended. Even by a skeptic like me.
