Damian Rose
Owner, Licensed Massage Therapist

Founder, Damian Rose, experiences great joy helping others. Damian would often massage friends and family and was told that he had “healing hands”. After witnessing amazing results with massage that not only relieved debilitating pain, but rejuvenated and revitalized lives; Damian’s passion for the field was fueled.

While going to school for massage therapy, Damian fell in love with it and realized that massage is not just about the body, it’s about body, soul, and spirit. Receiving massages physically relieves the tension that builds up from physical activity and everyday stress. Tension tightens the muscles and clogs the mind. Damian believes that massage opens a person, allowing them to think more clearly. It energizes the body and emotionally gives the individual a lift.

Licensed since 2008, Damian enjoys focusing on finding the best ways to help clients attain optimal health, without the harmful side effects. Serenity Rose Massage and Wellness is the embodiment of Damian’s dream to provide diverse wellness services in  one location. He prides himself on using only natural and organic products, providing an enriching work environment to his practitioner colleagues and providing a clean,relaxing, and professional environment for clients to receive services.

To make the experience convenient, Serenity Rose Massage & Wellness also comes to you. Whether it’s a parent getting a massage at home so he/she is available for children, someone that prefers getting a massage by their pool, or a company wanting to expand their wellness program. Serenity Rose Massage & Wellness makes every effort to accommodate your individual needs.

“My wish for each client is that I want them to be wowed. I want all of the aches and pains that they had before having the massage melt away. Beyond that, my hope is that when the massage is over and the person gets off the table, they feel fantastic – relaxed, pain free and renewed.” -Damian
