About Me
"I’ve been having treatments with Serena for 1 year, she is a vital part of my healing journey from colon cancer and I look forward to our sessions each week. We have done a mixture of counselling, reflexology, lymph drain massage and relaxation. She has empowered me to listen to my intuition and love myself to do what my body needs to do to heal. In a difficult time in hospital with an infection Serena went the extra mile and came to the hospital to massage my legs which were swollen from being bed bound for 2 weeks. I highly recommend Serena!"
