“If we could see the whole truth of any situation, our only response would be one of compassion.”

About Serafina
I came to yoga looking for a workout; what I found was a transformation. A transformation not just in my body, but in my mind and spirit. My practice unveiled a personal strength, an inherent intuition that guided me through hardships and set me on a path to be the healthy and happy person that I always knew I was. My path also revealed that I love to share, I love to teach, and I want to help others be the best version of themselves through the discipline of a yoga practice.
After years of teaching yoga, Serafina was moved to complete a massage therapy program so that she might further support those seeking to optimize their health. Serafina enjoys working with clients to help identify habitual patterns of movement that can cause tension and pain. For clients looking for general release of stress and tension, Serafina’s background in guided relaxation techniques and her peaceful presence allow for a truly relaxing massage.

Absolutely recommend this place! Serafina is very knowledgeable about anatomy and ways to sooth the nerves system. I have tried Thai massage, deep tissue and private yoga class. All of them were amazing. Love all the sound effects she used during the session which definitely makes the experience more relaxing! She is also very good to listen to my needs, and use variety of method to help my body to relax/recover. I mentioned my low back stress and she applied some cuppings there, and it worked out amazing!

I cannot recommend The Healing Spot enough!! Seraphina's massages are always relaxing and therapeutic, her knowledge and skills are as expansive as they are deep. Her serene demeanor and attentive ear makes each session a pure delight! A good massage therapist is hard to find and Seraphina encompasses everything that makes one beyond great. Do yourself a favor and book with her, you will not regret it!!

Serafina is amazing! Every massage I’ve received has been so beneficial to my mind, body, and soul. Serafina uses tools to enhance the experience and her pressure/technique is relaxing and effective. I always feel so good after a massage.
