I have had so many wonderful and magical experiences with NOW Age Travel + Healing so far!! *Healing Herbs Walking Tour w/ Madeline Mooney: My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this herbal tour around Salem. We learned about all the wonderful herbs that could be found right on our sidewalks that we thought were plain ol' weeds. Madeline has such a lovely fairy-like spirit and is very knowledgeable of the health and witchy/spiriritual properties of herbs. We had a lovely picnic with lavender cookies and delicious teas. The whole experience was lovely! *Tarot Reading + Custom Gem Essence w/ Lauren Hall: I arrived several minutes late due to crazy traffic (never underestimate rush hour traffic around the Boston/Essex County area!), I was feeling super bad about it, but Lauren's beautiful and warm presence calmed me down right away. This was a truly life changing tarot card reading - the best one I have ever had! If you are going to get a tarot card reading in Salem - go to Lauren! *History of Spiritualism Walking Tour w/ Melissa Nierman: I love learning about the Victorian Era and the history of the Occult, so I just had to take this walking tour! Melissa is extremely knowledgeable on this subject, fun, and an all-around marvelous tour guide. It's amazing how strong the Spiritualism movement was in Salem! Now I see Salem in a whole new way. Salem is so much more than just the sad and shameful witch trials that occurred in 1692. It is filled with so much rich history that has been sort of forgotten, but super worth re-discovering! Melissa has a great passion on showing people all the wonderful history that Salem has to offer. Thanks to her, I can now roam the streets of Salem and see it in a whole new light.

My wife and I went up to Salem and we thought we would check out some of the ethereal services while there. Neither of us have ever experienced any kind of reading, but we found a shop we resonated with and asked the store owner if she could recommend anyone in the area. She happily gave Lauren at NOW Age Travel + Healing a glowing recommendation, and we signed up for a couples Tarot reading. Their space with a cozy, comforting room with plush carpet and pleasing aromas that help you relax. An abundance of natural light streamed in and set the tone for an amazing experience. Lauren is a kind, gentle woman who raises your mood with her smiles and positivity. The reading was amazing. She confirmed everything we knew to be true; a lot of which we had spoken about in the previous days. We opted for the additional herbal bundle, and Lauren whipped us up a custom blend of herbs and oils to take with us that were specific to our needs both individually and as a couple. I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. I am always a bit of a skeptic, but I am a believer (at least with the right practitioner) after our reading. It was truly a highlight of our trip, and an experience I will remember for a lifetime. read more

WOW. I have so many great things to say, but I will break it up into categories. Space: Located on an adorable street in Salem, this is an inviting, calming, and all together hip place. The decorations and layout were clearly very thought out and you can feel the TLC someone put into the space. I kinda wish I could take a photo and tell everyone its my apartment... People: I saw Lauren for a Mini-Tarot reading and Grace for a Mini-Astrology session. Both women were professional, positive, so so so kind, and really made the experience easy and fun. Experience: So cool. I walked away with a little more knowledge about myself, reaffirmed in what I know to be true, and a clearer /calmer mind. Any that was only after mini sessions! I have to go back, as the time flew by and there is so much more to discuss. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to dip their toes in the water, or for certified scuba divers ;-) read more

I did the tour on the History of Spiritualism. It was a wonderful experience well worth the $ and the trip. Melissa, the tour guide, is really knowledgeable and passionate, and took great care of us. She was really open to questions too. This is a very special education that you won't find anywhere else. It is an alternative history based in historical fact, giving credit to people for their contributions to the world that you don't usually hear about. It is not commercial like many of the tours in Salem that make me a little skeptical. This tour truly does justice, honoring the history. The little zines that came with the tour were really helpful providing dates and pictures for context. The group was intimate which made it easy to connect and engage. I can't wait to go on all the Now.Age tours and trips!!! It was so fun. A truly enriching experience. read more

I scheduled a Tarot Walking Tour with Melissa for my sister's birthday. The tour was phenomenal! It was definitely unexpected, as the four of us had little to no experience with tarot and its uses. Melissa matched up each of us on the tour with a particular tarot card, and thus took us to specific places based on the card we drew. She brought along lavender cookies and delicious tea, as well as a surprise birthday brownie for my sister. After the tour, I went and did a mini Reiki session with Jessica. That, too, was incredible. I booked a Reiki + Aromatherapy for my sister, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I would recommend this experience to anyone, as they have several different themed walking tours aligning with different spots all over Salem. read more

Melissa was an incredible tour guide for the Witches 1692 - Today walking tour that me and my daughter took on September 21st in Salem, Mass. She spent over 2 hours walking all throughout the area, noting special points of interest and sharing the history of not just Salem, MA but witch hunts in general. I grew up in Lynnfield, MA and had school field trips in Salem but nothing compares to the new things I discovered from Melissa. PLUS we were able to see the witches memorial and learn of some of the 19 who dies during these happenings in 1692. Thank you, Melissa. Juliana and I had a tremendous time in Salem thanks to you! read more

Me and my sister did the Herbalism tour with Kate and Melissa today! It was beyond our expectations! They totally accommodated for us because there wasn't originally a tour scheduled during the days we were availabile, but they made magic happen for us! Super fun and informative! Kate was amazing with her herb knowledge, and Melissa had a lot of knowledge with the actual history around salem. Perfect tour to learn how to bring the magic of plants into your life, while also getting history on salem itself. I HIGHLY recommend Now Age tours and plan on taking another one when we come back to Salem! :) read more

Everyone who has a love for crystals and everything else magical should experience Now Age travel + healing crystal rock and reiki walking workshop. It was an interactive, intimate group tour of local crystal shop, yarn shop, and historical Salem. The end of the tour includes reiki circle, snacks, and making your very own dream weaver. The guides were super knowledgeable and kind, answering any questions we had with great enthusiasm. It was a fantastic experience that left me feeling joyful and wanting to come back for another walking workshop with Now Age is witch city! read more

I booked two tours with Now Age Travel: the Tarot Journey and the Witches tour. They both were amazing and exceeded any expectations I had! The Tarot Journey was probably one of my top highlights of my trip - or any trip! -and definitely an unforgettable experience. And I really appreciated the insight and knowledge Melissa had about the witch trials, Salem, and its history. It gave me a whole different perspective on Salem. If you're looking for something less tourist-y and more feminist and justice centered, I would highly recommend New Age Travel! read more

I can't recommend this tour enough. Melissa is amazing - friendly, knowledgeable, and a blast to spend a couple of hours with. We booked the Witches: 1692 - Today tour and enjoyed it immensely. It doesn't go over the standard names and dates and historical facts that you can get anywhere. Melissa is more interested in examining the events of Salem's history through a lens that offers perspective into power, manipulation, othering and the high price of forgetting the darker events of history. Fantastic way to spend an afternoon. read more

I attended the NOW Age Writing Workshop. This is an excellent way for anyone - tourist or local - to explore their creativity and Salem's history. Lauren has a great deal of experience with writing and a vast knowledge of Salem's history. The vibe was relaxed and non-judgmental and there was no pressure to share what you had written - it is understood to be a work in progress - even though that option was available. I highly recommend this Workshop - and I look forward to attending other Workshops at NOW Age Travel! read more

I opted for a 3 in one animal spirit reading/reiki/custom tea blend with Madeline and it was amazing - I highly recommend! I entered the session with a lot of stress and uncertainty about my path ahead and left feeling clear, aligned and ready for next steps. Her energy work is exceptional and I really felt my animal messengers come through during our session. The space itself is magical and inviting, full of welcoming and healing energies. I will definitely be making this part of my regular self-care practice. read more

Melissa is such a talented tour guide, tarot reader/teacher, and human! I did the Tarot Tour with my mom, and it was a lovely and intimate experience. It was so nice to see Salem by foot while we pulled tarot cards in different notable locations. While we both had a basic understanding of tarot, we both learned so much more during the three hour experience. I could see this being a great experience for anyone interested in tarot, whether you are a beginner or experienced reader. read more

I had a 60 minute reiki session with Jessica and I can't say enough great things about my experience. I feel re-energized, inspired, and clear. It was healing both mentally and physically (sciatica pain - gone!). The space is beautiful and every part of the experience was well thought out and just plain enjoyable and lovely. I cannot wait to go back for all the offerings that NOW has. Very grateful for my experience and looking forward to future visits ! read more

A couple of weeks ago my sister and I did one of the 3-hour fieldtrips with Melissa. It was great fun to tour the city woth someone so knowledgeable, and who was able to see and express the story of Dalem from multiple points of view. The day after I had a readind and Reiki session with Madeline which was another great experience. It was peaceful, relaxing and most importantly refreshing... I certainly felt revitalized after our session. read more

I had an incredible deep dive tarot reading with Lauren. I came in with a lot of stress from a recent event, and she held space so beautifully, and intuitively. She gave me such clear and Spirit filled guidance, that I felt I was in the exact right place at the exact right time. She is caring, understanding and so considerate, bringing a mature and deeply compassionate presence to the table. Have a reading with her. You won't regret it! read more

My sister, my two nieces and I went on a three hour tarot walk today with no expectations as this was a new experience for all of us. Not only were our readings spot on, we had cathartic moments all the way around. It was a wonderful day in Salem learning about ourselves, how tarot readings can ground you and history of some of the buildings in Salem. I would highly recommend Melissa for a tarot reading. read more

I got an impromptu 20 minute reiki session the other day and it was exactly what I needed. I didn't know much about reiki beforehand, and now I'd recommend it - and specifically this place - to anyone who wants a calming, healing experience. The practitioner was great and I'd definitely go again next time I visit salem. read more

I had an animal spirit reading with Madeline which I thoroughly enjoyed. The reading was about 40 minutes long. I've always wanted to know what my spirit animal was so this was perfect. The space is very comfortable and homey and Madeline was very sweet and knowledgeable. Everyone should try this! read more
