Ember & Oak Massage

Ember & Oak Massage is a solo massage practice close to downtown Wake Forest. It works by appointment, publishes no street address, and takes bookings through MassageBook, with an Instagram account for updates.

Its therapist, Nicole, builds each session around what the client needs that day, blending techniques for relaxation, for pain relief or for athletic performance. The format suits someone who wants one therapist to read the body and adjust, with no fixed menu of named treatments to choose from. A solo setup also means the same therapist handles every session, which helps with ongoing pain work.
