"Bodies at peace make peace." Remember that line from Phoebe in NBC’s Friends? She thought giving massages to everyone at the United Nations might just solve our worldly problems.

We often think of massage as a special treat, yet regular bodywork can provide tremendous physical and mental benefits. You may think of it as a stress-reliever (true!), but how about as a disease-buster? It seems many experts believe nearly ninety percent of disease is stress-related (oh my!). A massage a day keeps the doctor away? Well, now’s an excellent time to give it a try and find out!

Enter Serenity Place. Just the name alone makes you feel better, doesn’t it? It’s clearly beyond an average happy place, welcoming you to the peace of mind you truly seek.

You’ve resolved to thoroughly take care of yourself this year, and there’s truly no time like the present. Imagine a full hour of Swedish Massage, just for you. No kids. No phone. No Twitter. Peace. Quiet. Oh yes, that does sound like Serenity. Clear your schedule and prepare for a day (or at least an hour) just for you.

Maybe you’re already blissed out and haven’t had so much as a sniffle in years. Yet you’ve recently spent more days inside than you’d like, and you’re feeling a little like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. No problem there. Shamara Sessom and staff will help you leave the metal skin behind. (And if you’re really missing characters from that 1939 film, by all means go see it this month at the Historic Plaza Theatre!)

It’s your body. Grab this deal and get ready to head to Serenity Place. You can thank me later. I know you will.
