Welcome! I’m Alyssa Olmstead, the proud owner and sole 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.
