Nestled in a quiet plaza in the heart of North Providence is an oasis, a peaceful retreat from the world. This oasis is Self Serenity Wellness Spa, a tranquil place that is a literal escape from all of the busyness and noise around us. A place of revitalization and calm in a world that leaves us little time for reflection or restoration.
Self Serenity Wellness Spa is the brainchild and heartbeat of its owner, Jessica Accetturo, LMT. Jessica is a licensed massage therapist of ten years, who created this beautiful spa on Mineral Springs Avenue, to provide a stress-free environment, where others can feel the warmth and wellness that come from true self-care.
She has assembled a “dream team” of women who share her vision, and put it into action every day. Jessica worked tirelessly to find the most qualified and dedicated professionals, and this is just what she did with this team, which includes Siobhan Macaruso, a licensed massage therapist, and two talented estheticians, Briana Heng and Efe Kivie. Amazingly, both Briana and Efe are also nurses who bring their comfort and familiarity with the human body to their specialized skin care work at the spa.
The journey to the completion of Self Serenity Wellness Spa began four years ago in the most auspicious place, the home of Accetturo, and in the unlikeliest of times, the middle of the pandemic. Jessica had been a practicing phlebotomist in the years prior to 2020, when she decided to take a major career detour.
Already a practicing licensed massage therapist, Jessica created an equally serene destination for weary women and men, in Self Serenity Wellness Spa ~ right there in the all-season room of her house. When the world opened up again, good luck found Jessica, when a friend directed her to a vacant space in Centerdale, a busy hub of North Providence. She had a vision of what the space could look like, and then with tons of elbow grease, Jessica went to work creating something special from basically four bare walls.
Today, Self Serenity Wellness Spa is a sensory experience, from the minute you walk in the door. Warm tones of lavender bathe the walls. Water features bubble gently, while the delicate aroma of lavender scents the air. Soothing music fills the spa, drowning out the sounds of the world outside. Longtime receptionist Debbie D’Andrea is there to greet you with her beautiful, ready smile. One instantly feels as though they are being wrapped in a big hug.

The spa features a cozy waiting room, with an eye-catching plant wall, four rooms with massage tables, and esthetician beds you just want to sink into, and a full shower/bath for those post-“mud wrap” cleanups. Jessica thought of everything when designing the spa, and her personal touches are seen in every detail. Nothing is missed. It is just the sanctuary you are imagining.
Beyond its inviting décor, Self Serenity Wellness Spa is about just one thing ~ your personal wellness. This devoted team of professionals offers first-rate services, combining their years of experience, with all the latest techniques and products in the industry. Each technician has a unique dedication to their craft, but also a true passion for bringing out the best in others. The commitment to make their clients feel and look beautiful from the inside out is tangible and undeniable.
As the owner and an experienced massage therapist, Jessica specializes in cupping therapy, trigger point massage, sports therapy, deep tissue, prenatal, aromatherapy, and Himalayan hot stone treatments, among others.
Working alongside Jessica is fellow massage therapist Siobhan Macaruso, LMT, (pronounced “Shavon”). Siobhan is energetic, knowledgeable, and incredibly committed to her work. Her focus is on providing a safe space, where her clients feel comfortable and validated. She reminds her clients that they truly matter and that their personal wellness is important. She offers all the massages available at Self Serenity, but also the less common TMJ Massage therapy, for those who suffer from this debilitating condition. Within the next few months, Siobhan will also be a licensed Reiki Master. Siobhan can be reached at the spa on her personal number, at 401-301-6571.
Self Serenity’s estheticians, Briana and Efe, have an equally essential role at the spa. Both have always loved skin care and understand that true self-confidence and “beauty” come from deep within. Briana began her love of skin care when she was a makeup artist, but today her work and interests have gone far beyond this. She is all about restoration – restoring confidence, restoring healthy skin, restoring radiant skin. She is a caring listener, who loves when her clients feel and look their very best. The best way to reach Briana is through contacting Debbie at the spa.
Efe is vivacious, warm, and enthusiastic about her work at Self Serenity. She is always learning and growing. Efe is an attentive learner, who prioritizes the needs of her clients and takes whatever time is required to assess and meet those needs. Efe can be reached at both the spa and via her cell (401-499-2213).
These professionals offer a wide range of services at the spa, from their various massage therapy treatments to their skin care treatments. Every treatment is personalized to your expectations. This is one of the trademarks of this team; they care, and it shows.
The treatments available here are described in detail on the spa’s website. Jessica has incorporated the latest techniques and practices in the massage and skin care services offered at Self Serenity. The customizable massages help “decrease pain, lessen anxiety, and reduce muscle soreness.” There are also full-body wraps and scrubs, which rejuvenate the body.
There is equal variety in the skin care treatments, from facials (including the latest “Faux-Tox” facials and the popular “Ultimate Glow Facial”) to peels, lash extensions and tinting, to waxing – and so much more.
Be sure to schedule your bridal shower, Girl’s Night Out evening, or Couples Massage, at the spa. There are many “packages” available to entice you to visit the spa time and time again (no obligation or membership commitments here!)
