Here are a few things our amazing staff members enjoy about working for Scents of Serenity:
"Scents of Serenity has always cultivated and nurtured an environment of freedom and safety in which I feel inspired to grow. I feel supported by management, my clientele and our staff of well-informed and experienced individuals. I am always treated with dignity and respect, as a human being and not just an employee. I love the high standard held for products, practices, and education and appreciate how beautiful everything looks and smells and feels. I love that it takes all of us to make Scents of Serenity what it is, and I also love that we have an amazing trail blazing leader, Melanie Mueller, who inspires me to reach for more of who I want to be. I learn so much each day I work here, and I know that when I come up against any issue, a creative solution will be found to make things continue to move forward well."
-Alexa, Massage Therapy Lead and Trainer
"Scents of Serenity is like a dream job for me. It's incredibly beautiful and such a wonderful environment to work in. Coming from a spa where services were 50 min long & being booked on the hour, having massages that are 60 min & having 15 min cleanup time in between each service is just AMAZING. It makes such a difference. And the menu is so much fun. I absolutely love it. CBD, flower essences, aromatherapy, herbal compresses... and so much more! Having amazing luxury organic products & mediums to work in makes it each service provided so incredibly fun! And the best part of all are the people & energy there. Our staff is pretty incredible and the room for growth is huge. Our massage trainer as well as our massage therapists are extremely talented & giving. I feel so blessed to work here!"
-Jackie, Massage Therapist
"I am a fairly new massage graduate and just recently began at Scents of Serenity, but I knew right away this was a place that would allow me to grow. SOS has provided me with a welcoming and open space to be able to expand my knowledge and skill sets in the massage realm. It's an amazing place where everyone learns from and supports one another. My confidence level in my abilities has sky rocketed from two months of working here. I am so grateful to be a part of the SOS team and the beautiful atmosphere they provide!"
