I always enjoy coming to The Now. I had a birthday gift card from friends that I was excited to use, and the experience didn't disappoint. Patrick at the front desk was very warm, welcoming, and fun-- a great way to bookend a relaxing experience. The message therapist, Darien, was so talented, professional, and kind. She asked about any aches and pains, areas to focus on, etc. and walked me through some things she noticed after the massage (like how your girl's dehydrated-- oops). She did some great deep tissue work and listened to my needs. It was an incredibly relaxing experience, and I was able to rest and be present the entire time, which is an anomaly. The space is stunning, the aromatherapy is on point, and the sound of waves transports you. I'm pretty sure this massage solved all my problems, and I'm a whole new woman. I can't wait to treat myself to a membership in the future! P.S. A little pro tip: leave yourself a little extra time for parking, as it can be hit or miss on Ventura Blvd. read more

I have been a member of the Now for 5 years, through multiple pregnancies and injuries. It's my little monthly sanctuary for rest and healing. The massages are consistently high quality and the staff is super friendly. I've especially appreciated my massages with Anastasia, who uses extra magic through stretching and reiki to create a truly transformative experience. read more

Love Dani, he is so great. Such a gifted healer. I can't wait to get back there. Everyone is elevated practitioner at The Now, so far, in my experience. Jill read more

Been going for years. Anastasia V is incredible. Best of the best! Highly recommend her!

I have been to this place 3-4 times and the first 2 times were total disaster. Then after few years I decided to give it a try. I came back with a friend and again horrible experience but I had purchased a membership so I immediately cancelled but they charged me one more session. So I had my last session yesterday and it was with Kristian. She was amazing and listened to what I asked. I will not give this place a solid 5 star review because the front desk girls are very unorganized, not very responsive and give you different information. I have spoken to Fantoo (spelling might be wrong) and each time I called back I was told she has given me the wrong information. Even the expiration date of my last session was off by few days when I called and checked with a different person. Also, when you purchase specials, the expiration date is very short and it's not very clear. So I bought some specials and they all expired and they never wanted to give you a courtesy credit. I am not sure I'll be returning cause I can't gamble on each session being good or bad and especially the front desk needs to be fully trained and make sure they don't give inconsistent information. read more

I had a great experience with Anastasia!! She really knows what she is doing. I really walked out so impressed with how I felt. read more

Book Anastasia and never look back! Healing, intuitive, perfect massage. My only regret is that I didn't discover her sooner!!!

No 100% not recommend, I had the worst massage experience here. The therapist was rude and unprofessional the whole time. She applied way too much oil, then handed me a towel and told me to wipe it off my own back myself. That's ridiculous -- I shouldn't have to clean up after my own massage. The actual massage technique was terrible too. For comparison, I went to the salon five minutes away that's much cheaper. They gave me a fantastic ninety-minute massage for just a hundred dollars. It felt so good I actually fell asleep -- real pleasant sensations, nothing like this place. Complete waste of time and money. Stay away. read more

Kathleen is truly the greatest massage therapist! I always come out feeling 100x better than when I walked in. She's so attentive and knows just what your body needs. I wish I could see her every week! read more

I made a last minute appointment for tonight at the Now and Cassie and Kendall at the front desk were super helpful and nice. I then had Nick as my massage therapist and he was amazing! I will absolutely be back to see him. read more

Amazing service!!! Therapist did great job I fell asleep it was super relaxing Receptionist were very nice and professional! Cassie and Kendal thank you! read more

Great Friendly Staff, Taylor and Patrick at the front desk are always so welcoming and helpful. I always love when my boy Johnathan is available. Just great relaxing vids guys. I most definitely recommend read more

While I appreciate the good massage service, prefer Squeeze in Studio City hands down. Here there isn't separate massage rooms. Moreover squeeze has great set up with restrooms next to waiting area, and tea and water and nuts you serve yourself. The NOW appears to make focus more about selling extra services and items. For a firm massage you had to select extras and this means $30 more for monthly massage than Squeeze. read more

10/10!!!! Kendall!! I could tell that he really loves what he does. The whole 50 mins experience was spectacular. Front staff were so sweet, place was so aesthetically pleasing. May or may start a membership here soon. read more

I was shocked to see that this place has such good reviews. This is my first time at The NOW - I typically go to Burke Williams or similar spas. The aesthetic had drawn me in, I had seen other friends post it online. I was extremely disappointed. I'm not sure if the masseuse I had was just inexperienced, or if this is something that would be consistent across the board. I felt that she was confused on what to do.. there were a lot of breaks in between and I felt like she spent almost 20 minutes on my neck yet less than 30 seconds on my arms and didn't even touch my feet. It wasn't a full body massage as I had expected. Additionally, the lack of walls is noticed. I could hear the front staff laughing and people rushing through, other clients talking, etc. it doesn't allow for you to truly relax and enjoy the massage. For the price, you're better off going to a reflexology spot. It offers the same sort of experience except you'd likely get a better massage. *editing to 3 stars because management reached out to correct the issue. I appreciated their efforts. read more

You can always count on a great massage at The Now but I stay getting the best, most healing massages of my life from my gal Anastasia. I'm able to tell her what is bothering me, where it hurts, and she knows how to get into the knots and follow them to their origin. Strong hands, a kind spirit, and a great listener. Thank you Now SC staff and Anastasia for helping my body keep moving. read more

It's been a while. I used to have a membership. And I actually want to get another membership because this place is so amazing. The ambience is unbelievable. They have the best decor it's super chill very earthy very laid-back. I love it and all the Therapist that I've tried are unbelievable. The ambience is super chill laid-back kind of beachy vibe. It has like an organic contemporary style to it.. it smells amazing. The front desk is cool and it's it's a great place to go. read more

I've been to the Now many many times and this time I was lucky enough to book with Anastasia and let me tell you she's amazing - the massage was very thoughtful and intentional. She understood and customized our time for what my body needed and I'm so thankful for her read more

I want to start by saying this was my very first massage ever, so I don't know if anything I experienced is just normal for the industry or what. Please keep this in mind! I was gifted a massage for my birthday and was dropped off 15 minutes before my appointment like the welcome email suggested. I'm super glad I was driven there because the shop is at a busy intersection on Ventura boulevard and with only metered parking options I know I would've been circling for a while if I had driven myself. I was greeted by a receptionist who asked me to fill out an intake form, then offered water (which I declined). I took a seat and waited to be called in. In the meantime, another new client came in, sat down, and got seen at his scheduled appointment time (same appointment time as me). It would be another 5-8 minutes before I was called back, but I wasn't too bothered by this at the moment. My massage therapist brought me to a small room and asked what I was looking for. I told her I wasn't sure - this was my first massage. Plus the person who gifted this to me chose the massage type so I wasn't sure how to answer this?? I explained this to my therapist and she suggested something relaxing since it was my first time, which I agreed. She explained to me that just past the next door are the rooms, and that they are only separated by curtains so it was important to stay quiet and not talk, only whisper. She opened the door and led me down a hallway made of curtains, like the red room from Twin Peaks (rip David Lynch). The ambience was nice though, sounds of waves and the lights were dim and the air smelled like lavender. She led me into a tent and whispered that I should take off my clothes and lay flat on the table, then she stepped out and I followed instructions. For my first massage I really didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it! My therapist did such an excellent job and I felt so relaxed and comfortable. Towards the second half of the massage however, I noticed someone talking in the "room" next to mine. I heard a guy clearly describe his "problem areas" and chattering/laughing. I was super bummed because this really took me out of the experience and I had trouble getting back to that afterwards. No one bothered to ask the person to hush either, it didn't stop until the guy got undressed and laid down (his belt buckle was clanging loudly) but by then my massage was almost over anyway. Once done my therapist let me know she would be outside the room with water and to get dressed. I followed her instructions and she led me back into that middle room where we first met. She asked how it was, etc. and I let her know she did a great job and I loved it! When I checked out I asked if there was anything else I needed to do since it was gifted to me and they said just need to know how much to tip. Kinda awkward but ok. I'm torn because I really really enjoyed the massage and I would love to come back and try it out again, but the curtain rooms felt like such a gamble - I have to *hope* the clientele is quiet and respectful when I go, otherwise my experience is ruined. Do I want to risk my time and money on that? I don't know. I'm still deciding on what to do. Maybe I'll try another place out that has walls? read more

I've yet to be let down at this location, or any others really. Today I had Matthew, for the second time, and I feel amazing! I said it to him and I'll say it again! This was easily one of the best massages I've had ever. He listened to me before hand and then listened to my body during. The pressure was perfect and I will absolutely be booking with him anytime on this side of town. Highly recommend! read more

Anastasia was incredible! Really puts a lot of energy and care into her technique and incorporates stretching that feels great! Thank you!!

The therapist here are all amazing. Front desk are helpful in customizing my service to fit my needs. My service was with Skye she is amazing very knowledgeable. Best experience overall! read more

booked thru the website got a Mother's Day gift card for mom, ON Mother's Day they called me and canceled my appointment. I had to change my plans last minute and made an appointment for the next day. What bothered me was they didn't explain abt how much I'll have leftover on the gift card since they gave me 50% off the massage, I asked the lady sitting in the front n she said 95 would be leftover on my gift card then I had left to get food and came back for my mom and a different lady said 55. definitely did not leave a 40 dollar tip but it's wtv I don't think I'll come back here due to the no communication. read more

Amazing massage from Jade. I got the Stretch for 50 min, which was honestly not enough time, so I'll definitely be back. Also many thanks for the great hospitality from Cassie and Kendall. I'm a first timer here and they were very kind to me. Great massage. read more

I joined this massage studio after a fantastic first session with a different therapist. When I tried to rebook him, I was told he was just filling in -- but the front desk recommended Nick M. as a good fit for firm pressure. During my first session with Nick, I mentioned I wanted firmer pressure. He told me I'd need to pay extra for the deep tissue enhancement. That caught me off guard -- but I said okay and booked my next session with the upgrade. Well, I came back, paid the upcharge, and waited for the deep tissue massage. It never really came. The pressure felt lighter than the session before, and at the end, he told me I didn't really need deep tissue and shouldn't bother adding it again. That felt frustrating, honestly -- like I was being gaslit or upsold for no reason. If he thought I didn't need it, why push it? And if I paid for it, why didn't I get it? On top of that, my appointment started late, but the session still ended right on time. No adjustment. No apology. Just a shorter massage. I really do like this studio overall -- the space is great and my first massage was amazing. But this experience with Nick M. was a complete waste of time and money. I've since asked to be matched with a different therapist. I wouldn't recommend him if you're looking for consistency, deep pressure, or clarity around what you're paying for. read more

The location's great and prices are reasonable, but I took a star off because they do push membership a bit hard and it's the last thing I want to hear after my massage. read more

Just got my first ever prenatal massage by Anastasia and it was incredible! She was so amazing and had a great energy, and made me feel extremely comfortable for my first time having a prenatal massage. I highly recommend her she applied the perfect pressure that I wanted and ultimately left me feeling a lot more relaxed and stress-free than when I had arrived. Thank you again Anastasia! I'll definitely come by again before my baby is due. read more

Anastasia is absolutely magical. I came in with a lot of stress tension and I needed some sports recovery as well. A massage with her is pure healing bliss. I'm so grateful to have found her read more

Noah was great, highly recommend! Really took the time to make sure pressure level was right and did a few new moves that relieved a lot of pressure. Gonna sleep well tonight! read more

Anastasia was absolutely amazing!! Worked out so many knots for me, and still made it a relaxing massage.

I religiously go here and see Molly! The studio space is always kept so clean and smells incredible. It genuinely feels like a spa and so luxurious. I highly recommend seeing Molly at the studio city location. When I first started coming here I was scheduled with her randomly after the 3rd massage and she's just so talented! She really takes the time to listen to any problem areas/concerns you have with your body&pain. She's not just a masseuse she's like a healer! I love this location of the now and highly recommend coming here and booking with Molly! read more

I've had sessions with Anastasia, Skye, and Nick and they are all truly amazing in their own way. Anastasia is incredible for sports massage. Her technique is sooo precise and effective and she really understands how the body moves. She knows exactly how to work through tight areas and I always feel a noticeable difference in my mobility and recovery afterward. Skye is just as amazing. She has such great hands and the perfect pressure, and I completely relax the entire time. I walk out feeling lighter, calm, and honestly like a new person every time I see her. Nick is also so fantastic. I love how he incorporates intentional breathing into the session because it makes everything feel more connected and grounding. His flow is so smooth and thoughtful and you can tell he is really present in what he is doing. I GENUINELY trust all three of them and would highly recommend any of them depending on what your body needs. 10/10 would recommend! See you next month lol. read more

I had an amazing experience at the Now. My massage therapist, Dana was great! She was very attentive to my needs and made my experience as smooth as possible. Cassie, our experience guide was so helpful and made the process of checking in and out so easy. I will be recommending the Now to everyone! read more

I don't even know where to start. I've been a member for about a year and every therapist has been so amazing, they all have their own technique so depending on your needs they got you. Today I saw Justin and he was nothing less than spectacular! I've been having terrible pain in my shoulders and ankles but after our session I feel so much relief. Justin is highly skilled, professional and intuitive! Will definitely return to see him. read more

I went in for the first time on a weekday afternoon and I found parking right in front but I got lucky. The street parking on Ventura can be inconvenient but that's why they advise you to come at least 15 min early. Once I got it, the lobby ambiance is nice and smells good. I was able to get my first massage by Molly and she did amazing. She asked if I had any specific areas to work on so I let her know and she really focused on those areas. She also made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Inside the massage area, it is as nice as you see in the pictures. It's really quiet and peaceful and you just gotta soak in the moment. They have an ocean sound effect like if you're at the beach so I tried to imagine myself like I was laying down on the sand getting a nice massage. I got the NOW btw. Once we were done, I felt such a relief from my upper body as I felt really tight and a lot of tension. Like literally a weight off my shoulders. Would like to come back often to feel that same release although it is a splurge for me. read more

I won a massage to this location at a school auction and was so excited to check it out. The massage itself was wonderful, but comparable to many massage studios in the area. I don't like the idea of committing to a membership for reduced pricing but also don't think that a 50 minute massage is worth the regular price. With plenty of more affordable options with equal quality in the area, I would not run back. read more

Elizabeth is the best massage therapist I've ever had. I felt like she was attentive in every way physically as well as spiritually. Really an amazing experience. The whole facility is so relaxing and transports you to a calm state. It's the best ever. Thank you to Cassie and Morgan, I felt very taken care of. read more

Noah is an incredible masseuse: strong hands and solid technique! I felt like a had a whole new body.

I've been coming to The Now for almost 3 years and will always book with Heli for the absolute best massage session. She is consistent and her techniques are pure magic!!! I've recommended my husbands and friends to book with Heli and they all rave about her. read more

I must recommend this place but specifically I should recommend Heli ! On Wednesday I was in so much pain and I went to go do a massage with her She knows how to do a strong massage when I came home. I was so calm, relaxed, and relieved. I can't wait to go back to her again. If you come here, you must try her. She's amazing. read more
