It's a no frills place but they do have a shower and steam room as well as lockers for you to put your stuff. Customer service at the front is good too and they can usually recommend a therapist for you based on your preferences. Free parking in the plaza is a bonus.

The facility is well-maintained, with plush robes and sandals provided, plus a shower on-site. The steam room takes a while to heat up, so plan to arrive early if you want to use it before your treatment, or turn it on and enjoy it afterward. Parking is easy with an onsite subterranean lot. Insider's tip: They accept Spa Finder gift certificates.

I have had the great pleasure of getting worked on by Traci Sutton since 2010. I believe this…read moreenables me to sum up the bigger picture of who she is as a therapist, a business person, and an individual. Traci has an extremely high standard of ethics, which is one of the reasons I respect her so much. She is also one of the most aware people I have ever met. She not only has healing hands, she also has a therapy background that enables her to hear people talk about their innermost issues and respond to them in a deeply compassionate way. Traci's compassion carries over in other special ways - like finding specific period music to play during massage for a senior client who misses dancing to certain songs when she was young. The joyful setting that she creates for that client during her weekly massages cannot be conveyed in words. Her massage technique combines Lomi Lomi, Swedish, and Cranial work to create a session in which her nurturing energy shines through. Her flowing Lomi-style strokes down my back, with just the right pressure for me, always puts me OUT!! As an individual, Traci is a giver and this is certainly evident in her demeanor and her touch. From her choice of career to her choice of volunteer work (most recently, giving bodywork to children who are transplant patients at UCLA), she is a quality person who anyone would feel lucky to have in their lives! So if you're looking for a nurturing and flowy touch from someone who is also a lovely person, you've definitely found her!

Every detail makes you instantly feel relaxed and taken care of. I've been coming here for over 2 years, and Branka is absolutely amazing. I have chronic pain from a car accident and she always knows exactly where to focus during the massage. She's incredibly skilled, intuitive, and consistent and I always leave feeling so much better physically and mentally. If you're looking for a truly calming, elevated spa experience with excellent massage therapists, I highly recommend The NOW Santa Monica, especially Branka

My experience here wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I was gifted a couples massage and made…read morean appointment with my husband right when it opened. When we got there, the receptionist emphasized to our masseuses that we were to be in separate rooms multiple times which was weird because it was a couples massage. We were brought to separate rooms and the masseuse just stepped out of the room without saying anything. I had to step outside to ask her if I should take off my clothes LOL. She spoke very broken English with an accent so I couldn't really understand her. In addition, the rooms weren't very private. I could hear everyone since it was a big room separated by curtains. The massage itself was okay. I didn't feel particularly comfortable the hour I was there. Halfway through, she turned me over and massaged my scalp. She ended up putting oil in my hair which I didn't like. Overall, my husband and my experiences were similar. It wasn't great but not terrible either. I probably wouldn't come back.
