Restorative & Therapeutic Massage in Traverse City

The place to be.

Book Your Appointment

Be Here Now was introduced by Ram Dass as part of his teaching on presence and meditation. It is a reminder to return to yourself, settle into the present, and just be. That teaching is at the heart of my work and the inspiration behind my practice.

At Be Here Now Massage, my intention is to help your nervous system shift into a parasympathetic state where real healing can happen. When the body feels safe, it softens and when the mind feels supported, it quiets. Relaxation is more than a feeling, it is a therapeutic tool that maximizes the benefits of your massage.

This space is designed to help you slow down, exhale, and feel at home in your body again.

Our Philosophy

Meet Your Therapist

Welcome! I’m Alyssa Olmstead, the owner and sole licensed massage therapist at Be Here Now Massage, proudly practicing at this location since 2023. You can find me at 3639 Cass Rd in Traverse City, MI.

I graduated from the Mind Body Institute in 2019, and being an LMT is not just my profession. It’s my passion. I believe deeply in this work and I like to think that comes through in the way I approach massage.

My focus is on releasing stubborn knots, easing muscle tension, and helping your body feel more regulated and at ease. I meet every client exactly where they are and create sessions that are intuitive, customizable, and grounded in presence. My goal is always to create a space where your body feels safe and can let go.

I’m looking forward to meeting new faces, hearing new stories, and leaving you feeling lighter.

Whether you need deeper muscle relief or a more restorative session from daily stress, you’re in the right place.

This is your now.

  • The Focus Session

    This 30 minute session targets 1 or 2 areas that have been causing pain and/ or limited range of motion— great for those who hold most of their stress in certain areas (such as neck and shoulders).

  • The Ritual

    This 60 minute session is perfect for monthly maintenance, stress relief, or when you just need to hit the reset button. This massage is also offered to pregnant clients.

  • The Reset

    This 75 minute session is customizable and intentional. The extra 15 minutes leaves more room for the area of concern while also targeting nervous system support.

  • The Deep Reset

    This 90 minute session is a deeper, more immersive therapeutic session. This massage releases layers of tension and supports true restoration, leaving you feeling lighter.

  • The Complete Restore

    This 2 hour extended session is designed for those seeking deep, unrushed bodywork and lasting relief. This 120 minute massage allows your nervous system to settle while giving focused attention to chronic muscular tightness, knots, and layers of held tension throughout the body.
