Sometimes, the most unexpected places offer the deepest kind of healing. On a recent trip through northeast Ohio, I experienced one of those rare gems: a cozy massage studio, Serendipity Massage Studio, in Ashtabula. If you ever find yourself near Ashtabula or Geneva on the Lake and need to destress and relax, this is the place. But what makes Serendipity Massage Studio so special? Two words: Victoria Finney.
Located on Lake Avenue, Serendipity Massage Studio is unassuming from the outside, but once you step inside, the world quiets. You are surrounded by soft lighting, an infusion of decorative elements from around the world, subtle aromatherapy, and tranquil music. It embodies warmth that feels instantly calming.
Serendipity is owned and operated by Victoria Finney, a seasoned massage therapist who moved to Ashtabula from Las Vegas in 2022. She brought with her a wide knowledge of massage techniques and years of hands-on experience.
I booked a 60-minute therapeutic massage, hoping to unwind the chronic neck and back pain that rears its ugly head from time to time. Victoria took time beforehand to chat with me about joint pain, injuries, and massage preferences. I slipped in between the sheets on the heated table and instantly relaxed in a soothing blend of soft linens and essential oils.
Victoria’s style is intuitive and focused—her hands found every knot and gently coaxed them to release. She integrated warm compresses, essential oils, and deep tissue techniques without ever going past my comfort zone. By the end, I felt not only physically better but emotionally reset.
Victoria is more than a massage therapist. Her nursing background gives her additional insight into her client’s health and well-being. From the moment you meet her, you will feel her intention. She listens not only to your words but to your body. She is the kind of therapist who senses what your body needs and who checks in during a session to ensure you are receiving the treatment you want and that the pressure feels right to you.
Serendipity is a true reflection of Victoria: warm, intentional, and welcoming. The studio offers:
Enjoy Swedish, Deep Tissue, Lomi Lomi Hawaiian, Lymphatic Drainage, Reflexology, Prenatal and Postnatal, Chair and Geriatric Massage.
In addition, Victoria offers a Hot Towel Mini Facial and Paraffin Hand and Foot Massage. For couples or friends massages, Victoria and Lauren will work together.
To serve more clients, Victoria has added another massage therapist, Lauren Treiber. Lauren is a highly regarded massage therapist, celebrated for her personalized and attentive approach to wellness. Her warm demeanor and technical skill combine to create therapeutic sessions that are both deeply relaxing and effectively tailored to address specific areas of tension and discomfort.
Operating on a regular schedule—available Monday through Saturday—Lauren ensures that each client receives individualized care that reflects her commitment to promoting overall health and relieving daily stresses. Overall, her work at Serendipity exemplifies a genuine passion for enhancing physical well-being and fostering an environment of healing and relaxation.
In our travels, we seek out natural beauty, delicious food, and cultural gems. But sometimes, the most unforgettable experiences are the ones where we pause to restore ourselves. My massage with Victoria was not just a luxury—it was an essential part of my self-care plan. It reminded me that rest is not a reward—it’s part of the journey.
If you are passing through Ashtabula, OH, make some time for rest and rejuvenation when you book a session with Victoria or Lauren at Serendipity. You will leave feeling calmer, lighter, and more relaxed.
When you book online, you can choose your therapist and the length of the massage. It is an easy and efficient way for you to schedule the time that fits your busy lifestyle.
