Had a bizarre experience. I went in on Saturday for a Mother's Day massage having never been before.
Pros: Nice women working in reception, the building and massage area are very calm, relaxing spaces.
Cons: The whole thing felt rushed. I had to wait, and my appointment started ~15 minutes late. The therapist was really nice, but she seemed in a hurry and after the massage said she couldn't talk as she had other clients. The weirdest part was how not relaxing and honestly painful the massage was. I scheduled an 80-minute "NOW" massage, their version of a Swedish massage and the therapist adding cupping based on the breastfeeding discomfort I told her about (which fine, I've had that before) but holy moly ... I've never been hurt during a massage before but at one point I felt like I couldn't breathe. She pulled my arm in a way that literally felt like it was going to snap, and I promptly told her to stop. My arm hurt for the rest of the day and was sore to touch. That, combined with the heating pad that was like a thousand suns on my back, made for an extremely uncomfortable session. I was like a rotisserie chicken roasting from the inside out. I told her multiple times it was very spicy and she just proceeded to pile towels on my back to take away some of the heat, which really just made it worse. Overall, not a relaxing Mother's Day massage for this 2-month postpartum mom and would *not* recommend to anyone else.

FINALLY got my first massage ever! Lena was absolutely amazing. She talked me through any questions I had & went the extra mile to make sure I was completely comfortable as a postpartum & breastfeeding mom! I will 100% be back. From entrance to exit, the staff & service was incredible.

My wife just got a deep tissue massage which was just oil rubbing on the back and worse is that it was only 40 min , I am amazed at the people who gave good reviews . I don’t give bad reviews until they deserve it but this one takes the cake . Really would appreciate if the owner or manager can respond.

I have been on the hunt for a new massage spot and had heard good things about NOW. The ambience was lovely and the staff was kind.
I booked the deep tissue add-on, because I have muscle tightness and like firmer pressure. This was confirmed by the receptionist and also by the massage therapist.
However, the experience I had was underwhelming - it simply just felt like someone was putting lotion on my body for 50 min and that's all. I did ask a couple times for firmer pressure but nothing changed. For the price I paid, I was pretty disappointed in my experience, which is unfortunate because I had high hopes.

We respectfully request at least 12 hours notice if you need to cancel or rebook your massage appointment. We charge 50% of the reservation made to the credit card on file to compensate our staff for missed wages when there is a last minute cancellation.
What if I fail to show for a scheduled massage or arrive late?
If you miss your appointment or arrive 15 minutes past your scheduled service start time, the service is automatically canceled and the full price of the scheduled service is charged to the credit card on file.

How long do I have to use massage credits?
