The NOW Massage Houston Heights

I absolutely love the NOW! It feels like a little getaway relaxation oasis- especially with the background ocean waves and white noise. You can expect excellent service every time. While all therapists are great, Ricardo is by far my favorite. He understands interconnectivity of the body and can target pain points effortlessly. He really cares about making sure his clients leave feeling better than they came. Do yourself a favor and book NOW!

Ricardo is an exceptional massage therapist at The Now Touch. His technique is truly outstanding—both intuitive and precise—striking the perfect balance between relaxation and therapeutic work. What really sets Ricardo apart is his attentiveness; he takes the time to ask thoughtful questions about tension points and areas of concern, ensuring the session is tailored exactly to your needs. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care create a comfortable and restorative experience from beginning to end. I left feeling completely relaxed, refreshed, and significantly relieved of tension. I highly recommend Ricardo to anyone looking for a top-tier massage experience.

Unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed with my experience. I’ve had multiple massages before, so I have a good sense of what a quality session should feel like, and this did not meet that standard. The massage therapist seemed disengaged and gave the impression that she did not want to be there, which made it difficult to relax and fully enjoy the service. At the beginning of the massage, she worked through the covers before eventually removing them, which felt ineffective and unnecessary. I don’t see the benefit of paying for a massage when it starts without proper hands-on contact. On a positive note, the front desk staff were friendly, and the space smelled clean and well-maintained.

Cory was awesome! I’d been having so much neck and shoulder pain from traveling last week and been trying to self remedy at home. Progress was not happening as I wanted it to so I booked an appointment. I chose to do a deep tissue and Cory delivered the pressure I expected and needed. Deep tissue can sometimes be intense, but he gave just enough space between digging into those tough spots that I felt so much relief I almost fell asleep. After the appointment I felt a great improvement in my neck and shoulders.

Really good experience at The now in the Heights! The front desk staff was incredibly patient and helpful while walking me through booking my appointment and answering all of my questions, which I really appreciated. My session itself was incredible (exactly what I needed) and the overall vibe felt calm and welcoming. I ended up taking advantage of their membership promotion, so it’s safe to say I’ll be back. Definitely glad I checked this place out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pure coastal bliss at The NOW! This place is such a hidden gem. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I’d been transported to a beachside retreat — soft ocean scents, calming decor, and the soothing sound of waves in the background. Total instant relaxation. My massage with Ricardo was incredible — he has such a calming presence and perfect technique. The pressure, flow, and attention to detail were spot on. You can tell he genuinely cares about making the experience both relaxing and restorative. I left feeling refreshed, grounded, and honestly like I’d just had a mini vacation. The NOW has definitely become my new go-to spot! 🌊✨ Highly recommend!! *Update* I had a second massage (twice in one week, I know) with Taylor and oh my……. Her hands are magic!! Highly recommend her for deep tissue.

My usual massage place didn’t have an available session on my day off so I came here, but definitely will not be returning. I paid $20 extra for a deep tissue massage and told the masseuse that I had a big knot in my shoulder for several days. However, the "deep tissue" was very minimal if at all—maybe 5 minutes maximum of more moderate pressure—and I got no relief from the session at all. The person up front was nice enough to refund the $20 for the deep tissue portion, and the place is overall clean and nice.
