Approachable luxury is the concept for The NOW Massage, which has two Portland locations. Both establishments coincide with the ambiance of the city, incorporating raw elements and natural materials to create a chic, nature-inspired aesthetic.
Guests can choose between three signature massage styles and pair their service with a variety of custom, exclusive enhancements, including herbal heat therapy, deep tissue, fresh eyes, hemp calm balm, gliding cupping, and Gua Sha—a traditional Chinese medicine technique that uses smooth rose quartz tools to target specific areas of the body.
Each NOW massage boutique uses canvas draping to separate therapy spaces, which creates an airy atmosphere. Additionally, massage therapists receive advanced training that goes far beyond traditional modalities, and is designed specifically for stress relief, health improvement, and relaxation.
And if you’re a fan of your experience, you can leave with a NOW-branded souvenir in the form of a customized product line and jewelry collection.
