Staff are always very friendly and welcoming with smiles. They are happy in their work and work well as a team. Nothing is too much trouble. They make clients feel relaxed and we always want to return.

S is very knowledgeable, professional and caring. It is a pity that large companies do not take the trouble to offer an excellent customer service as the staff always do at Transition. S notices if a health issue should be reported to a health professional. Thank you for an enjoyable and relaxing visit today.

I've coming to Serena for massages for years now and she is the best! Tired stress-knotted back, neck and shoulders get the healing benefit of a vigorous Swedish massage, which which also manages to be deeply relaxing at the same time. Serena is knowledgeable, highly experienced and attentive, with magic hands!
