LUX Autumn 2018

HBW18044 Leading theWay in Holistic Therapy Pamper With over 25 years of experience in the sector, Deryn can be considered an expert in the holistic, and the spiritual. Indeed, she has grown My Sereni-Tea into an all- encompassing celebration of alternative treatments. From Transpersonal Therapies, Reflexology, acupuncture, aromatherapy, and Jin Shin Do, to energy balancing, Tui- Na and Reiki – for which she was awarded – Deryn has nurtured a true treasure in the heart of Hamilton. To Deryn, the purpose of My Sereni-Tea was, foremost, to help others live stress-free lives, “The purpose and vision of My Sereni-Tea is to assist people to find their peace within and achieve balance in their lives physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 25 years ago, my life came to a crossroads and I surrendered and embraced a spiritual and holistic way of life.” “The greatest gift I receive working at My Sereni-Tea is seeing the transformation in our clients. This is a wonderful testimonial that we are making a difference in people’s lives.” In recent years, as the world embraces the latest trends of digitization, inter-connectivity, and augmented reality, a counter-movement has appeared – a demand for wellness retreats, and a delight in traditional therapies. When it comes to potential competition in Bermuda, Deryn emphasises the strengths of her business, “What sets us apart from the rest is our high level of training and experience in Holistic and Spiritual services – we have a team of five professionals with 95 years of combined experience. And we offer the largest selection of massage and holistic services in Bermuda.” Ultimately, Deryn practices holistic therapy to help people, “we have clients from all walks of life who are looking to heal, find peace and embrace holistic wellness into their life.” “We provide the best possible service to our clients with a deep love for the work we do and caring for the wellbeing of our clients.” As for the future of the business, Deryn speaks of business growth, “Our future looks great, with expansion in all areas. We have invited practitioners to come from overseas a few times a year offering different services to our clients.” LUXlife named Deryn among our 2018 Health, Beauty and Wellness winners in recognition for her contributions to the field of alternative therapy. The awards were launched to recognise people, and firms, from all over the world who are achieving extraordinary things, regardless of the size, location or prominence of their business.
