About Seraphic Massage Therapy
Many people ask us what “Seraphic” means. Is it a type of massage? Is it a special technique? No. Seraphic comes from the word Serafim which aside from being the highest rank of Angels, is also the middle name of each owner.

In 2007, Seraphic won the Top Choice Award for Massage Therapy clinic of the year.
