The DC-area platform built for therapists — not corporations. Fill last-minute slots, own your client book, and set your own rates.
Free to join. No monthly fees. No lock-in contracts.
Real demand signal — updated live. These are people who signed up specifically to be notified when a therapist posts an available slot.

Soothe and similar platforms take 40–50%+ of each session. On KneadNow you keep 90%. On a $120 massage, that's $108 in your pocket — not $60.

Join the waitlist and we'll reach out when we're in your area — or when you're ready to take the leap.
No spam. Just a heads-up when we launch near you.
We'll reach out soon. In the meantime, feel free to create your profile now — it's free.
We built the protections you actually want — so you only work with clients you trust.
You rate clients too. If someone is disrespectful or a no-show, flag it — and other therapists benefit.
Clients verify their identity before their first booking. No anonymous strangers at your door.
All therapists are licensed and verified. Clients know you're the real deal — which drives better bookings.
We're not trying to be everywhere. We're building the go-to platform for DC, NoVA, and Maryland — where you work.
You set your own rate. KneadNow takes a flat 10% platform fee from each completed booking — nothing more. No monthly subscription, no listing fee, no per-session signup cost.
Example: You charge $120 → you receive $108. That's it. Soothe and similar platforms typically take 40–50%, leaving you with $60–$72 on the same session.
Clients pay at the time of booking. Once a session is marked completed, your earnings (90% of the session price) are processed through our payment system.
Payouts are deposited directly to your bank account. You'll be prompted to add your payout details when you set up your profile — it takes about 2 minutes.
You set your own cancellation policy on your profile — clients see it before they book. If a client cancels within your protected window (e.g., less than 24 hours before the session), they're charged the cancellation fee you defined.
If a client is a no-show, you're protected and the session payment is released to you. You can also flag no-shows via the two-way ratings system.
Every client verifies their identity before their first booking — no anonymous strangers. You also have full two-way ratings: after each session, you rate your client. If someone is disrespectful, you flag them and other therapists on the platform benefit from that signal.
You can decline any booking request before confirming. You're always in control of who you work with.
During signup you provide your massage therapy license number and state. We verify it against the relevant state licensing board. Verification typically completes same day.
Once verified, a "Licensed & Verified" badge appears on your profile, which clients actively look for — it leads to higher booking rates.
No monthly fee. No contracts. No lock-in. KneadNow is free to join and free to use. You only pay the 10% commission when a booking completes — meaning we only make money when you make money.
You can pause your profile, adjust your availability, or stop taking bookings at any time, with no penalties.
We're focused on the DMV — Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland. We're intentionally regional right now: instead of spreading thin across 50 states, we're building a deep, reliable supply of therapists and clients in one market. That means more consistent bookings for you.
Free to join. First booking takes about 10 minutes. No contracts, no monthly fees.
