The NOW was designed as a space to escape the daily pressures of life and to recharge your energy and spirit through the healing benefits of massage therapy. Launching The NOW Massage in 2015 along with her business partner and husband Jason Post, the national franchise has expanded through their company The Post Investment Group. Under Gara’s leadership, locations in LA expanded from one to four, with 50+ boutiques open today and 100 locations set to open around the country by 2025.

As an experienced entrepreneur, this is not Gara’s first successful venture in the consumer product space. She’s been building brands for over 20 years, working several years in the entertainment industry, and then launching Gara Danielle Jewelry, a fine jewelry line that was sold in high-end boutiques nationwide and is currently available at NOW locations from coast to coast.
