Best massage in Scottsdale | A matter of protocol | New Serenity Spa

Not all massages are created equal. Have you ever wonder what it takes to find that one place that gives you the best massage or facial you've ever experience?  At New Serenity Spa we offer the best massage in Scottsdale.  It is all a matter of protocol.

We are starting a 3 part series to show our clients our protocol.  This is a process setup to make sure that you receive the best massage experience you've ever had when you visit New Serenity Spa.

Best massage in Scottsdale | New Serenity Spa

The Serenity Massage is a medium pressure massage. We are known for providing one of the best massage in Scottsdale and our Serenity Massage is our claim to fame. Long strokes are used with this massage to promote a deeper state of relaxation and tension is released on problematic areas using medium pressure on trigger point areas throughout the body.

Before beginning any therapeutic massage make sure there are no contraindications preventing the guest from receiving a treatment.  Review the intake form and sign at the bottom.  Discuss problematic areas with the guest.  It is VERY IMPORTANT that you pay very close attention to what the guest tells you about their style of massage. Sometimes a therapist gets very comfortable with their own technique that they do the opposite of what the guest is requesting.  If a guest requests a gentle massage, please use gentle pressure.  If a guest needs deep, firm work, adjust your style to serve their needs.  All hired therapists should be able to accommodate most requests.  Diversity in technique will be a desirable trait and ensure repeat business for the therapist.  Make sure client has turned their phone off!!

Before bringing a guest  to the treatment room please make sure the room is prepared:

  • Clean linens
  • Massage oil/lotion
  • Biofreeze
  • Towel Warmer
  • Warm Towels
  • Clock
  • Hand Sanitizer
  • Kleenex
  • Garbage can with lining
  • Bolster
  • Rolling Stool
  • Basket for guests belongings
  • Adjust bed to YOUR level of comfort
Our Serenity Massage protocol is a multi-phase protocol. In our next article, we will cover the phases that have made this one of the best massage in Scottsdale.

At New Serenity Spa, we offer one of the best and most relaxing massages in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area. If a massage is not in your immediate future, you may want to consider our Serenity Facial. This facial is highly regarded by our customers reviews as one of the most relaxing facials in Scottsdale.

Drink Water Before and After Your Massage | New Serenity Spa Scottsdale

Water is a foundational nutrient every day of the year, but on massage days, it’s even more important. Be sure to drink water before and after your massage at New Serenity Spa Scottsdale.

Drink water before and after your massage at New Serenity Spa Scottsdale 

before your massage will improve the experience for you and for your massage therapist. Water hydrates and energizes the muscles making them ready for deep tissue work. Dehydrated muscles do not “cooperate” as well with the therapist’s careful movements. This increases pain and discomfort during your massage experience and impedes the therapist from smoothing and lengthening the muscle tissue.

Think of a kitchen sponge. Without water, they are shriveled and useless, but when held under the water faucet, they soak up the water, expand, and become flexible and ready for work.

Any kind of activity dehydrates the muscles, massage included. Just as a football player needs a swig of water after a big play, you need water after a massage.

Massage stimulates the muscles to release toxins that cause pain, fatigue and stress to the body. Your kidneys are on the job to flush those toxins out of the body, but they can’t do it without plenty of water. Drinking water after a massage helps ensure the toxins released during the massage will get out of the body rather than be absorbed back into the body. Rehydrating the muscles by drinking water will also reduce any post-massage soreness.

 Are you convinced to drink water before and after your massage at New Serenity Spa Scottsdale? Why not schedule a massage today?

Drink water before and after your massage at New Serenity Spa Scottsdale 

Massage is an investment in your overall health and wellness. Don’t reduce its effectiveness by coming to your massage session dehydrated. Drink plenty of water in the hours before your massage at New Serenity Spa Scottsdale. And when your therapist hands you cool water at the end of your incredible massage, drink every drop and think of how happy you just made your muscles.

Remember: Water before and water after will make the “during” so much better.

Call us now for your next appointment. We are located in Scottsdale, AZ 85260. We offer one of the best facials and massage in Scottsdale. Our Serenity massage has been recognized as one of the most relaxing massage in Phoenix. New Serenity Spa 480-998-6991

Massage at New Serenity Spa Scottsdale Tame the Stress Monster

Is the stress monster tying your body in knots? Why not get a massage at New Serenity Spa Scottsdale today?

Massage at New Serenity Spa Scottsdale

Medical and psychology journals all over the world verify the stress-relieving and health-improving benefits of massage. Therapeutic massage uses pressure on the connective tissue around the muscles, which sends “feel good” and “relax” messages to the brain. With each careful movement by the massage therapist, your serotonin levels ease up and your cortisol levels ease down.

Serotonin is a chemical that boosts pleasure and sends pain packing, while cortisol is a stress hormone known to reduce immunity and encourage belly fat.

If massage gives you more of the good stuff and combats the bad stuff, why wouldn’t you want to take advantage of a massage at New Serenity Spa Scottsdale?

Mother's Day - Things to do during your massage treatment | New Serenity Spa Scottsdale

This is our second blog in our (3) part series.  You may wish to also read 'Mother's Day - Before your massage therapy' and our follow-up article 'Mother's Day - Things to do after your massage treatment'

At New Serenity Spa we specialize in facial treatments and massage therapy.  We are located in Scottsdale, Arizona and we are the home of the highly renowned Serenity Facial and Serenity Massage. It is all about your experience.  We not only strive to provide you with the best possible service but we seek to educate out clients as well.

Scottsdale Massage | Phoenix Massage

Our clients often ask if there is anything they can do 'during' their massage therapy that will help them get the most out of it. While you will certainly enjoy our treatment without doing much, here are a few tips you should consider:
  • Breathing. Oxygen is a close second in important to water when it come to massage therapy. A times we starve ourselves of oxygen unnecessarily during a massage session. We are so focused on a certain pain, discomfort, muscle that we simply forget to breathe. When your massage therapist starts to work on a 'knot' in your muscle, don't hold your breath.  Instead, inhale and exhale normally. It is when you exhale that muscle release occurs and tension starts to dissipate. Avoid concentrating your attention on a tight muscle and focus on rhythmic breathing instead.  Allow your body to relax a little more with every breath.
  • Relax. This brings us to the next step you can take to enjoy your session. You are here to relax, release tension and enjoy the moment.  This is your time.  Let yourself go and allow the therapist to move your body as needed.  Don't try to raise your legs, hands, head or any other body part.  Your massage therapist doesn't want your muscles to engage. He will do the work for you. Let yourself go.
  • Talking.  Be mindful about how much you talk during your treatment. We are here to help you relax and we encourage our therapist to allow our clients to lead in this area.  If our client needs to vent and your therapist is comfortable with the conversation, feel free. We simply tell our clients to ask themselves what the reason for their visit is.  If your want to receive all the wonderful benefits that our Serenity Massage has to offer, don't distract the massage therapist or tense your mind with personal conversations.  You are here to relax and be pampered.
  • Communicate. One exception to our 'No talking' advise is that you use some time during your therapy session to tell your therapist how much pressure you need. A “relaxation” treatment should never be uncomfortable. However, a therapeutic treatment may involve some pain and discomfort to achieve required results.  Be sure to communicate with your therapist any level of discomfort you may be experiencing.  In addition, we are here to make you feel good.  If the temperature needs adjustments, let your massage therapist know.  This is your time and your treatment.
  • Fall sleep if you can. It is no unusual for our clients to fall sleep during our sessions.  We pride ourselves in providing a very relaxing atmosphere that let's people 'zone out'.  Soft track lighting, flute music, comfortable temperature and the magical hands of our massage therapists make many of our clients fall sleep.  During a quiet, relaxing massage is a great time to meditate, “zone out” or even fall asleep.Don’t think about your work, your grocery list or today’s “to do” list.  If you reach a state where you've lost time, or where you find yourself awake and yet dreaming, you did it right!  A relaxed mind leads to a relaxed body and a stressed mind leads to a tense body.

So next time you visit our massage therapist, keep this friend advise in mind. These often forgotten tips will help you get the most our of your session.

At New Serenity Spa, we offer one of the best and most relaxing massages in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area. If a massage is not in your immediate future, you may want to consider our Serenity Facial. This facial is highly regarded by our customers reviews as one of the most relaxing facials in Scottsdale.

Scottsdale Massage Day Spa offers best massage experience | New Serenity Day Spa


At New Serenity Spa, we offer one of the best massage in Scottsdale/Phoenix.  We are committed to giving not only a great massage but great service as well. We are a day spa located in North Scottsdale catering to a very loyal clientele.  The reviews from our clients speak say it all.

We seek repeat clients who want a peaceful and consistent experience without the pressures that you often get from a Corporate massage mill.  We welcome travelers who want to experience something difference from your 'fast food' chain-type massage mill.

Scottsdale massage | Phoenix Massage | New Serenity Spa

If you are budget conscious, we have a basic introductory massage for you. At times, we can compete in price with the Corporate Spas, however, our focus is not only on your massage but on your overall massage experience.

Here are the key advantages that you may find at Corporate massage mill:

Cost - This is what most people focus on.  The low prices of Corporate massage mills are definitely a draw, particularly when combined with convenience.

Convenience - It is hard to beat the large Corporate massage mills. They are everywhere and you can usually get in and out quickly.

That is where the advantages end. So what are the drawbacks and what does New Serenity Spa have to offer?

Low staff turnover - If you prefer to see that same massage therapist who gave you a one of a kind treatment last time, you will have an easier time when you visit New Serenity Spa.  At New Serenity Spa, our turnover is very low and you are almost always guaranteed to receive your massage from the same therapist on every visit.  We heard the horror stories of how massage therapists are treated at some of the Corporate places. We pride ourselves in treating our employees well so they stay with us longer.  Happy employees equal happy customers.

Service consistency - Franchises always try to provide a cookie-cutter massage. They use the same strategy as fast food restaurants.  Repeat the same quality service every time and sell as many as possible.  At New Serenity Spa, we know better.  Every massage is an individualized experience.  We customize your massage to meet your needs. You cannot standardize on how you offer a massage. Every client is different. Every client requires individualized treatment.

Better atmosphere - Our space is very serene.  We cater to a loyal clientele who wants to relax in a unique and well-decorated room, while listening to some relaxing music in a no pressure environment.  Our rooms are decorated with our photography and the walls have very unique designs.  Our owner and aesthetician, Stacy LeClair, is a well-respected professional photographer who has been featured in the local TV channels.  Her photography adorns our Spa. If this is not enough, we always try to get to know our clients and we will remember you when you come back.

No pressure memberships - We heard this over and over again 'they are always trying to sell me a membership'.  At New Serenity Spa, we believe our customers have options. Yes, we would like to see you purchase a membership, however, we don't pressure you into buying anything and from time to time we run specials to help you with your decisions. Our prices are not astronomical if you don't have one either. You came for a massage. you will not only get that but a great experience as well.

If you are a value oriented client, then a Corporate massage is probably your best answer. However, if you decide that good service and great client experience are also important parts of your treatment, you may want to give New Serenity Spa a chance.  If you are ready to try what great service combined with a great massage looks like, make sure you read our recent blog on how to get the best out of your massage or facial treatment.

We pride ourselves in providing our clients with great services and offering mini-escapes that emphasize the convenience of a quick escape and incorporate services like foot massage and scalp massage (usually extra cost at a corporate franchise). We offer one of the best massage overall experience in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area in a very serene and professional atmosphere.
