I've been getting massages for 25 years and have worked with over a dozen therapists all across the…read morecountry on my neck and back issues, so I don't say this lightly--Ally is hands down the best therapist I've ever had. I usually avoid chain massage spots, but I gave The NOW a try a few months ago and got so lucky finding Ally. Now I see her every two weeks and won't go to anyone else. What makes her so special is how seamlessly she mixes real anatomical knowledge with advanced tools like cupping and genuine intuition. Her hands are amazingly strong, but she tailors her pressure perfectly depending on what specific area needs work. Her energy work also sets her apart from other therapists. She has this incredible ability to connect and tune into where you're holding stress, weaving energy techniques into the physical work so naturally. When I get off the table, I feel like I've left all the heavy, harmful tension behind. Since seeing Ally, my daily pain levels have dropped significantly, my flexibility is way better, and I just function so much better every day. I hope she never leaves wake forest (but I'd probably follow her anywhere)!

Honestly this was one of the worst massages I've ever had. Before we even got there I requested we…read morehave two women (as we are two women and are most comfortable with that). When I got our confirmation text, I saw my partner had a guy for hers. I called to ask why this was and they explained someone quit and they had to have him fill in. I understand the stress of that - but to not reach out to the clients about this change and to ask before they confirmed that? They said they could change the date so we could be with two women but we had already planned this night so I said it was okay. We came in for our couples massage yesterday and my partner and I both had bad experiences. My therapist barely felt like she was touching me - it was so light, it was ticklish. She didn't ask me once how the pressure was or anything either. She didn't do my arms and only part of my legs. I didn't like the hot towel because then I was just cold after. My partner's therapist didn't even do her legs! Completely said "Sorry, I ran out of time." This is a 60 minute massage and you don't have a basic structure? It's frustrating spending money on a service that isn't fully completed. When we told the front desk she was apologetic but just suggested coming back and they would let us do it again at a new client rate - which I don't think is satisfactory for the problem. I'm a student and splurged to have a good experience and was left with more pain than when I came in. Just an unfortunate waste of money.

I've walked away from other sessions a little dissapointed but I can honestly say that the massage I received was totally worth it. I'm sure there's someone reading this who is going to say to themselves, "massages aren't supposed to hurt." My massage didn't hurt per say, but I most definiately had some deep tissue get some attention. This was exactly what I was expecting from a massage but had never really gotten the opportunity to enjoy elsewhere. As I was lying there, I thought to myself, "this is what it's like being rich..." and thinking that if I could get a massage like this everyday, it would be worth selling out. Staff was friendly and professional, everything was clean, and I have zero complaints. The strip mall is a little on the run-down side, but don't let that deter you.
