For many years, spas and self-care treatments were seen as a luxury for the rich and famous. These days, however, they have become more mainstream and are increasingly viewed as a part of an overall healthcare regimen.
According to Megan Douglas, owner of Serenity Spas, “Our services are a part of taking care of yourself, especially in our fast-paced world. They are good for your body and your mind and help get you out of the fight-or-flight mode we live in these days.”
Following up on the success of her two Serenity Spa locations, her flagship store in Tacoma and her recently opened one in University Place, Douglas is working on the buildout of her newest spa in Gig Harbor. When opened in Spring of 2024, the Gig Harbor location will feature many of the same treatments including massage, facials, body treatments and an infrared sauna service with an experiential shower system.
Douglas, a licensed massage therapist for over 20 years, said she had her eye on Gig Harbor for a while now. “My husband and family have spent a lot of time in Gig Harbor over the years. It always felt like a vacation without really going anywhere.” Her new Gig Harbor facility will be in the Uptown Shopping Center.
This newest location will have a fantastic boutique at the front where self-care treatments and tools can be purchased with or without an appointment for a spa treatment. “Serenity Spas is truly a spa . . . a place of healing offering results-driven treatments where we are focused on the relaxation response,” said Douglas. “From the minute you enter the doors you will notice the calm, serene atmosphere.”
Serenity Spas feature monthly memberships, available in three variations as well as four curated Spa packages. “I want to help people create the healthy habit of taking
care of themselves.”
Next up for Douglas is the fall launch of online sales of her product line, Pyürest. Developed and manufactured in her University Place facility, she uses the highest quality natural ingredients and essential oils to formulate and handcraft the products found in Serenity Spa’s blissful treatments.
