Meet the Therapists

Both of our therapists bring unique styles and approaches, united by the same intention to help you relax, restore, and return to yourself.

  • Welcome! I’m Alyssa Olmstead, proud owner and licensed massage therapist at Be Here Now Massage.

    I graduated from the Mind Body Institute in 2019, and being an LMT is not just a profession but my true passion. I like to think that reflects in my approach to massage.

    I’ve crafted this space with the hope that it becomes a safe haven for all bodies. Ram Dass introduced “Be Here Now” as a fundamental principle in his spiritual teachings, emphasizing the importance of mindfulness. This phrase encourages focusing on the present, avoiding fixation on the past or future, and fully enjoying the moment without distraction.


    At Be Here Now Massage, my goal is to help your nervous system shift to a parasympathetic state, providing relief from the common sympathetic response. Relaxation plays an important role in maximizing the benefits of your massage experience.

    When I’m not tucked away in my office, I’m usually sipping coffee, watching football with my boyfriend, massaging my dog, or finding peace on my yoga mat.

    I deeply believe that receiving a massage is essential maintenance for our bodies. Our bodies work tirelessly for us, and they deserve some love. Let’s collaborate to determine what’s best for you and your muscles. I am looking forward to meeting new faces, hearing new stories, and leaving you feeling lighter.

  • Hello, my name is Aleysha Krieger. I am a licensed massage therapist. I graduated from the Mind Body Institute in 2023. Helping people feel more at ease in their bodies, unwind, and reconnect with themselves is what I love most about this work. Massage is more than a service to me, it’s a connection. I strive to make people feel seen and supported. 


    Massage can be a powerful doorway to both physical and emotional release. Our bodies can often hold the weight of stress in our muscles, joints, and fascia. Through intentional touch massage can create a space for the body to let go of what it no longer needs.

    Whether you are coming in for stress relief, pain management, or simply a moment of peace, my goal is to provide you with a warm welcoming environment where you can relax and recharge. 

    Outside of massage I very much enjoy being in the sun, camping, scrapbooking, and spending most of my time with my family and friends. 

    I am looking forward to meeting with you! Thank you for trusting me to be a part of your wellness journey.
