Serenity Massage Clinic

Dedicated to working with women and their partners who recognize birthing as a key life experience.

When Tara Paradoski was in nursing school and the future of nursing was not very promising, she decided to finish nursing and go into massage therapy. She felt her nursing education would be an asset as a Registered Massage Therapist. 

In 1996, after two years of education at The D’Arcy Lane Institute, Tara opened the doors to Serenity Massage Clinic in Woodstock, Ontario.

Soon after opening the clinic she traveled to Calgary, Alberta to undertake a certification course in pregnancy massage with Carol Osbourne-Sheets. She continued her studies and became a Certified Infant Massage Instructor through the IAIM (The International Association of Infant Massage Instructors) and a Certified Doula through DONA (Doulas of North America).

Since its inception, Serenity Massage Clinic has grown to include Jeannette Hill, Office Administrator, Jenn Mann, RMT, Certified Aromatherapist, Julie Leatherland, RMT.

Serenity Massage Clinic believes in a holistic approach for the maximum well-being of each client. They treat a diversified clientele of varying ages and a wide range of chief complaints.  However, pre- and post-natal care has become a very prominent component of the clinic, drawing clients from great distances. 

Serenity Massage Clinic is dedicated to working with women and their partners who recognize birthing as a key life experience. Their clients view the combined contributions of partner, doula and practitioner as the best approach to an optimal birthing experience.

“When asked by expecting mothers to participate in their birthing experience through massage I am truly honoured and make every attempt to ensure that the knowledge and background that I carry with me are extended to them to enhance their experience. I want to continue to feel like I have never worked a day I my life because of my love of the occupation!”
