Solitude and serenity
Need a moment alone to break free from the holiday hustle-bustle and the frantic pace of crowded shopping malls, all-night basting, baking and endless to-do lists this holiday season? Take your shoes off upon entering, and exhale away your stress as the calm, tranquil energy washes over you at Serenity Day Spa & Wellness Center in Doylestown.
Serenity offers a wide array of high quality spa services all year long, but the special Holiday Menu is designed to keep you in the spirit of the season, while providing a much-needed respite. Holiday treatments such as the Select Pedicure include a relaxing leg and foot massage infused with scrumptious holiday aromas such as winterberry, cinnamon apple cider, harvest spice, black currant & fig and sugar cookie scented creams, sugar scrubs and soaking salts.
Other specials of the season include the Cranberry Antioxidant Layered Facial and Body Scrubs or Wraps using holiday scented products. Also, guests may turn any one of the many types of relaxing massages on Serenity’s extensive menu into a “festive treat” by adding one of theselect holiday aromas. Nurturing your body is vital to keeping yourself physically balanced with the extra demands at this time of year.
Calming and clearing your mind is also key to handling this stress. The owners of Serenity know this, and in addition to taking one of its new yoga classes, you can also participate in a “mental unwinding” with an hourlong meditation class held on Friday nights!
A boutique-like waiting area is filled with spa products, jewelry and accessories for effortless shopping during your visit. Gift certificates are a great idea for those people on your list who may need pampering themselves. To accommodate busy clients during the holiday season, Serenity extends its regular hours by opening for services and shopping on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. throughout December.
Serenity Day Spa & Wellness Center is located at 64 East Swamp Road (Route 313) in Doylestown. For the complete Holiday Menu and all services, visit them at their cyber spa www.serenitydayspa.com or call 215-230-3487.
