Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy

Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy uses controlled foot pressure to target deep muscle layers, releasing tension and improving spinal alignment. Ideal for chronic pain relief, this technique enhances circulation and flexibility while reducing stress. Clients report significant improvements in mobility and comfort after sessions.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage employs long strokes and kneading to promote relaxation and ease surface muscle tension. This gentle approach improves blood flow, reduces stress hormones, and prepares the body for deeper treatments. Its perfect for first-time clients or those seeking regular stress relief.

Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage addresses pregnancy-related discomforts like swelling, back pain, and hormonal imbalances. Clients lie on their side with supportive pillows, ensuring safety and comfort. Requires physician approval to accommodate high-risk pregnancies or specific health considerations.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage focuses on chronic muscle knots and postural imbalances using sustained pressure. It breaks down scar tissue, improves range of motion, and alleviates persistent pain. Recommended for athletes or individuals with repetitive strain injuries.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy integrates essential oils to enhance relaxation and address specific needs like headaches or inflammation. The therapeutic scents reduce anxiety, improve mood, and complement massage benefits. Oils are applied via diffusers or diluted into massage creams for direct absorption.

I've had massage all over the world from those touted to be the best in the business. I went to Serene Step based on a recommendation from someone I knew understood the benefits of the Ashiatsu techniques. I experience massage perfection from Kao who truly understands both the science and the art of the massage.

Kao is wonderful. The ashiatsu massage experience is unique and super effective. I went for my first time in March and have been going every 3 weeks. The business is in a suite in an office building. Very professional. But the room is very cozy, warm and relaxing.. I highly recommend her services.
