Finding a provider

Search is built around location first where you are, or where you are going to be.

How do I find a provider near me?

How searching works, how booking works, what a provider listing is, and where our responsibility ends and theirs begins. If your question isn’t here, send it to us we answer within one business day.

All fifty states are listed from day one, with city and local-area pages being added continuously. Coverage depth varies the priority markets right now are New York, New Jersey, Florida, Nevada, California, and Texas, where several cities are already broken out individually.
Yes. Providers publish the cities they are travelling to and the dates they will be there, so a therapist based in New York appears in Tampa results while they are in Tampa, and drops out of those results automatically once the dates pass. There is no separate page to check travelling providers show up right in the location you searched.
Every modality has its own entry explaining what it is, what pressure to expect, how long a typical session runs, and who it suits. If you are unsure, start from the reason you are booking rather than the name of the technique.
No. Searching, browsing, and contacting providers is free for clients. You pay the professional for the session, at their rates, on their terms.

02

Booking a session

Booking happens on the provider profile, with that provider not through an intermediary.

How does booking work?
Choose a service on a provider profile, see the locations and dates they are bookable at, then pick a time slot and confirm. The request goes to that provider, who confirms it directly with you.
Each provider sets and maintains their own pricing per service and session length. We do not mark up, bundle, or negotiate rates what you see on a profile is what that professional charges.
If the provider offers mobile sessions, their profile will say so and list the service area they travel within. Some list a studio address, some list a mobile radius, and some list both.
Contact the provider directly using the details on their profile. Cancellation windows and deposit policies are set by each professional, so check theirs before you book if that matters to you.
Give it a business day, then let us know. Listings that go unresponsive or stale get flagged and removed a directory of dead phone numbers is the exact problem we exist to fix.

03

For providers

Listings are self-authored. You write your profile, and you keep it current.

I am a massage professional. How do I get listed?
Join as a provider and build your profile services, pricing, photos, service areas, availability, and travel schedule are all yours to manage. Nobody writes your listing for you and nobody edits it behind your back.
Add and edit services and pricing whenever they change, set your own availability days, times, and session lengths, list a studio location or a mobile service area or both, publish a travel schedule, and handle bookings, inquiries, and contact preferences in one place.
No commission on session fees. Clients pay you directly at your rates the directory earns from listings, not from a cut of your work.
No. There is no paid placement and no sponsored top slot. Results are ordered by location relevance and how current a listing is, which is the only ordering a client can actually trust.
You must be a licensed, practising massage or bodywork professional, listing under your own license in the states where you work. Specialist modalities such as prenatal or manual lymphatic drainage should list the specific certification behind them.

04

Travel schedules

The feature that makes a national directory useful to people who move around.

What is a travel schedule?
A dated list of the cities a provider is visiting — for example Tampa, FL from September 15 to 20, then Miami, FL from October 3 to 7. While those dates are active the provider appears in searches for that city alongside locally based professionals.
No, and deliberately so. They appear inside the normal results for the location you searched, with their visiting dates shown, so you are never checking two lists to find out who is actually available.
The listing drops out of that city automatically. Nobody has to remember to remove it, which is why the results stay accurate.
Yes that is the point of publishing dates in advance. Their bookable slots for a visiting city are shown on their profile the same way their home-city availability is.

05

Trust, safety and privacy

What we verify, what we do not, and how to raise a problem.

Are providers verified?
Providers list under their own professional license and we remove listings that cannot stand behind that. Licensing itself is regulated state by state, so asking a provider to show their license before a first session is entirely normal and any professional will expect the question.
Yes it is a directory for licensed, practising massage and bodywork professionals only, and it is moderated on that basis. Listings that misrepresent what they offer are removed.
Details you send through an inquiry go to us and, where relevant, to the provider you asked about. We do not sell client contact information to third parties.
No. Service descriptions are general information about what each modality involves. For an injury, a pregnancy, or a post-surgical recovery, talk to your healthcare provider first and tell your therapist what they said.
Email us or use the contact form and tell us which listing and what happened. Inquiries are answered within one business day.
