Loved the massage, and Kaelyn is the sweetest, nicest massage therapist there ever could be. Initially I was not so sure about the facilities but half way through the foot soak I forgot about the bldg and felt like I was in a hammock on the beach. I also liked that I could personalize my massage for the exact type and length that I wanted. Have been doing my 'homework' and shoulder pain is not as bad as it's been. read more

Love love love this place! I felt so comfortable and relaxed and now this mamma to be feels so much better! Will be coming back soon! She was professional, sweet and I felt far more comfortable here rather than going to a big spa. read more

I have been going for more than 6 months after finding her Groupon and have never been dissatisfied. It is always such a treat because Kaelyn is so sweet and makes you feel welcome and immediately relaxed. I get the 90 min massage which is perfect! Kaelyn is very good at reading people, if you like to talk she will talk, but by default she will give you a nice quiet, almost meditative massage. She also will find your tense parts and adjust the massage accordingly to pay more attention there. Her new facility is in an older Victorian style house up the back steps. It is clean, comfortable and well appointed, water/tea is also available. Parking is on the street but there always seems to be plenty as it is a very quiet street downtown. Making an appointment is quick and easy on the Serene Relaxation website and there are many packages and so forth available to choose from. read more

My wife and I both scheduled appointments with her after reading the great reviews here. One of the best massages I've ever been given, and I'm still feeling great days later. Highly recommended. read more

Had sinus congestion from a previous cold that wouldn't go away. My doctor was considering antibiotics, but I'm pregnant and didn't want to go that route, if possible. I made an appointment for a 1 hour sinus drainage massage, and the next morning had amazing "production". Everything came out. I can breathe clear now and there's no pain. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Will definitely go back. Sweet. Warm. Welcoming. I was VERY comfortable. Her hands are sent from heaven. They're the strongest, yet most gentle have I've ever experienced. It's like she could read my mind on my desired pressures. Sweetest masseuse I've ever met. I am very, very pleased. read more

Kaelyn did a belly henna design for me. Her space is amazing and calming. I felt relaxed simply walking into the room. She was incredibly patient with my son while she worked on the design. She even included him by drawing a racecar on his hand (per his request :)). Great lady!!! read more

Horrible, horrible, horrible!!! I got this massage for my moms birthday. Per directions it said to arrive 15 min prior to fill out paperwork. Upon arrival which she was there 15 min early the building was dark and had no lights on. My mom was calling out to see if anyone was inside and a nice lady came out of her office and turned on the hall light and pointed her in the right direction. When she got to the door it was locked so then she called to let her know she had arrived. Keilyn told her she would be right there. 10 mins goes by of knocking and calling and still no response. My mom calls me to tell me she still hasn't answered the door and her appointment is in 2 mins. While on the phone Keilyn comes walking in and as mom My mom is telling me this, I told her it was very unprofessional and rude and i hung up so she could still proceed with the massage. Well my mom calls back a min later telling me Keilyn is refusing service because I called her unprofessional. Keilyn what would you call it??? I seriously hope she gives me a refund ( she said she would) and see what she did was wrong! Dont tell someone to be there a certain time, if your not. read more

Kaelyn is absolutely fabulous. I found her through a Living Social deal for 3 massages at a great price. Every massage has been wonderful. My first massage was a general, all over massage that left me feeling great for days. My next massage she focused in almost exclusively on my shoulders and upper back and I was the best kind of sore after leaving, where all the knots I didn't know I had been carrying were relaxing. Finally, and perhaps the massage that speaks most to Kaelyn's skill, was my massage earlier this week. My arthritis was giving me trouble around a couple of joints and so I didn't want her to give them the deep massage she normally provides. She still gave me the massage I love everywhere else but when she got to my problem areas, switched to a "lymphatic massage" style - much lighter strokes working to get the blood moving. My range of motion in my elbow was significantly better after leaving Kaelyn and has continued to be good for me this whole week! Her space is calm and peaceful. If you're looking for a spa, this isn't it - but the waiting area and massage room aren't lacking, just quietly relaxing. She always has water and hot tea available for before or after your massage. And she starts every massage off with a hot water foot soak/massage. She also has great hours in the evening and an easy online scheduler for making reservations and canceling, so you never have to play phone tag (which I hate!). In spite of being done with my coupons, I will definitely return! read more

Absolutely love Kaelyn! Found her with a Groupon and have been back three times. She's great at customizing to your needs and tensions. I love the atmosphere of her studio on S, immediately calming and soothing. She starts out with a foot soak/massage to get you to relax and find a quiet place in you before the full massage. I like this because I'm not one to jump on getting undressed and on the table right away. The foot massage brings you to a place of comfort first, perfect. The full bodywork is my favorite, and she does excellent work on my shoulders and back (the worst! I'm sure for many). Fluid with good pressure. I absolutely recommend her!!! Also, she does monthly specials via email and gives discounts for returning customers! read more

This place is the best when it comes to relaxation. I felt a lot better after my massage. My therapist Kaelyn Crenshaw is so good and she really did her job so well. The place is so clean and quiet and have ample parking space. Ashley, the one who booked me is very accommodating, she even answers my inquiries even on Sundays. Will definitely recommend this place especially Kaelyn to my friends, co workers and relatives. i am looking forward to my next appointment. read more

I purchased a Groupon and this was one of the best massages I've ever had...and I usually get them done regularly. She was amazing, very attentive and had me feeling like a new woman when I left! Do yourself a favor and check them out...you won't! be sorry! read more

Kaelyn is great and makes me feel comfortable. Her therapy really helped me with my stress and back issues. I get the best sleep the night of my massage and Im in the process of healing! The location is great in downtown Sacramento, truly the best massage yet!! read more

Kaelyn is lovely and has amazing energy. Her space is sunny and inviting and smells like sage. I loved this massage experience and felt totally, blissfully relaxed afterwards. I am so glad to have found Serene Relaxation and I will be back soon. Kaelyn sent me a 50% birthday coupon and I can't wait to use it! read more

Every single time I walk out of serene relaxation I am absolutely rejuvenated and relaxed. Fantastic service! There is always some sort of deal going on as well which is always nice. read more

Kaelyn is my go-to! I have been going to her for the past 4 years, and I have never had a bad experience. She always remembers my trouble spots, and is completely considerate and polite. I really admire her for working so hard to expand her experience and range of services- not only has she become a certified Doula in the time that I have known her, she has been featured on Good Day Sacramento, and has been raising and training a therapy dog for her patients. read more

I would definitely recommend a massage here. Though the facility is not the fanciest (it is in what appears to be a general office building), the massage speaks for itself. I started off with a foot soak and massage which I didn't even know was included. It was amazing, especially after a long day of teaching. I then had an hour and a half massage using my livingsocial vouvher, which included a head and neck massage. It was a very effective massage, working out the knots in my shoulders. My only wish is that more was done to my head, since I find that very relaxing. But I was too entranced to ask, so I guess I can't complain. read more

Very good experience, from the foot massage to the hot towels. And the massage was great. Kayla is a very talented masseuse. I would recommend her to anyone that wants a great massage. read more

The massage was amazing-one of the best that I have ever had! The place itself to a little difficult to find but aside from that I had a great experience. Kaelyn was friendly, professional and helped me to have a nice, relaxing experience. I will definitely go back again. read more

Massage was lovely but dealing with the money part with her was a pain and I will not be returning. I bought her promo through Yelp which paid in full for the massage but then in order to book an appointment I had to pay $30 (in case I didn't show up she would keep this money). I didn't like this but had already paid for the massage. I spoke with her on the phone and she said she would refund me after the massage. The last thing you want to deal with after a relaxing massage, that you have already paid in full for, is being told I should just leave that money there for my next massage (which I had not planned on yet) and then having to say no, I want the refund as you said you would do. The refund took over a week to get to me and then my money is now in PayPal, not back to my credit card like I used to make the payment. I now have to link my bank account to PayPal to get my money back and wait 2-3 more days in order to avoid a fee. This is such a hassle and I will not be coming back. read more

Great service always on time will take the time out to answer any questions you have non rushed sessions.....currently getting in home prenatal massages every two week & im loving it highly recommended read more

Kaelyn is so sweet and professional. She constantly has deals, specials, and discounts going on, so its really easy to get an astounding deal for an astounding massage. I will never go to anyone else in Sacramento! read more

Kaelyn is great!! Today was my 2nd appointment with her and I decided to hold off on the review until my 2nd session. I did the $40 -45 min student special and I got more for what I paid. Her price is reasonable, her customer service is exceptional and she knows what she's doing ! I've always had mid back and shoulder pain. She worked on my back and shoulder for 30 mins and took her time and used the right amount of pressure. I am sore but it's a good sore! I will be going back because I can truly feel the difference after my sessions with her! Her place is clean and cozy and makes you feel at home. Definitely recommend her! read more

Got deal on groupon and had an amazing massage. Location was easy to find, actually located in the back of a house but very professional. Clean and organized. I would definitely go back for a regular massage session if I was staying in the area. Easy online scheduling with no problems. Questionaire given in the beginning to learn about the clients needs a problem areas. Totally worth the time and money spent after a long cross country trip where I was feeling very stiff. I would definitely reccomend this place. read more

I enjoyed my post surgical massage at Serene Relaxation, the space is very nice and the massage was gentle and effective.

Kaelyn is simply amazing!! I started going to her for pregnancy massages, continue to see her postpartum and will go to her beyond that. Her studio (and Kaelyn herself) is relaxing, warm and inviting. I am so happy I chose her when I was searching for a masseuse! read more

My husband and I each had a Groupon for an hour-long massage. We both thought that Kaelyn was amazing. My shoulder and back had been aching, and simply put, the massage made me feel much better. I haven't had a lot of massages but this one was the best I've had. Kaelyn is professional, quiet, gentle yet firm, and the massage was very effective and relaxing. I'm hooked and will be going back regularly. read more

Kaeyln does a great job in working out your problem areas, and giving you "homework" to help improve your health. I will return.

I really enjoyed my experience. I received a lymphatic drainage massage for the first time. I did this to reduce swelling post surgery. I wasn't sure what to expect as I have only done standard massages. My appointment started with a foot soak and massage that I dosed off during. Then we moved to body work wear she started at my head and worked down. For this specific massage the touch is very light and uses tapping and gentle strokes to get the post surgery fluid moving. It was soooooo relaxing. I go for another one next week and can't wait. I was sure to drink lots of water before and after. I believe that it has reduced some swelling and discomfort. read more

I've gone here twice for 60 minute massage. Both therapists were excellent.

Where do I start? There is nothing bad to say about this place and about the masseuse. She is so pleasant and attentive. She knows what you need and makes recommendations if you ask her. She makes her own oil, lotions etc. I been to many places and she is far the best here in Sacramento. I now go see her once a month and it all started with a Groupon.lols read more

I had a wonderful prenatal massage during week 22. I will definitely be going back and telling my pregnant friends about it.

Had a great experience getting my belly casted. She was very professional and made me feel very relaxed from the moment I walked in . We sat down and she listened to everything that I wanted to do on my belly cast . read more

I went for my first time for a fertility massage, the moment I arrived I felt so welcomed and comfortable. This was such an amazing experience and I will be returning for more! read more

Kaelyn is hands down the best masseuse in Sacramento! My wife and I have been coming to her for a few years. We are both very active in strength and conditioning, and our bodies take a beating. Kaelyn knows exactly how to release tension spots and work out soreness using a variety of techniques, from deep tissue to cupping. The environment is always calm and soothing, and Kaelyn is the nicest person. A trip to see her is always the highlight of my week! read more

I had an excellent massage from Cynthia. She is professional, warm, and knows what she is doing. There were vary few moments when I needed her to adjust pressure, Cynthia can sense what is to firm or too gentle, and responds immediately. I highly recommend, after trying too many, seemingly robotic, masseuses who are poorly trained or indifferent. read more

I have been in several car accidents and have suffered quite a bit of trauma to my back in addition to high levels of stress due to the nature of my work. Prior to purchasing a Living Socials deal in August 2013, I contacted Serene Relaxation (Kaelyn) and asked to do a site tour and have a conversation with her. She made time for me the very same day and every time thereafter which is every week. There is an established trust, serenity and excitement with every visit which is just about every week! Kaelyn is Kind, Attentive, Enlightening, Lovely, Yielding, Nice. I have learned to take the time to take care of myself THANKS to this wonderful lady who I am so THANKFUL for! read more

Six months later and I'm still seeing Kaelyn. She is the best massage therapist I've ever been to! Highly, highly recommend. She keeps up to date on good quality products and techniques and seems to truly love what she does and cares for her patients. I guarantee you'll love it and keep coming back! read more

Kaelyn was terrific! Many masseuses do not do deep tissue as deeply as Kaelyn does. I've had some major aches and pains and Ms. K got rid of several of them for me. I will be back! Thank you Kaelyn! Debra C. read more

Excellent service and highly recommend Kaelyn for all your needs during your pregnancy birth and post partum

Booked an appt with Kaelyn after reading Yelp reviews that recommended her. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease. Be ready to fill out paperwork so arrive a few minutes early. Her dog is SO well behaved, can you believe he was in the room during my massage and I had no clue. Such a cute and polite pup. Appt started with a foot soak and massage then got on the table for my massage. She focused on the parts of my body I had mentioned and although I was sore the following day or so, that massage worked wonders. I really needed it and at 22 weeks, I'll definitely be returning before giving birth. Thanks Kaelyn! read more
