There’s an new app that allows you to get “spa treatment” on-demand. The Zeel Massage app, recently launched in the Port City, advertises itself as “on-demand massage therapy,” bringing licensed therapists to your home, office and pretty much anywhere in between. Founded in 2012, the company now operates in more than 65 cities nationwide, with over 9,500 therapists across the U.S. They offer a variety of different services including Swedish massages, deep tissue, sports, sleep, prenatal and even couples sessions. According to Cynthia Irons, Chief Marketing Officer for Zeel, the company initially launched as a health and wellness booking service, recognizing that “most customers and massage therapists wanted more in-home massages, and within 4 hours of booking. “The spa industry wasn’t set up for that. We took our learnings, created a new category in the massage industry, and relaunched Zeel. We trademarked Massage On Demand and were the first company to bring same-day, in-home massage to customers.” How it works Zeel operates by connecting local therapists, who are “licensed, insured, experienced, and vetted in person by the Zeel team,” to customers in need of a massage in their operating area. For the customer, requesting a massage is as simple as downloading the app, or going through the website, to request a session. From there, you select the gender of your therapist, the time, location and type of massage you would like, and the job is done. Once your massage is booked, the app will send you a confirmation that shows your therapist’s full name, photo, bio, and license number so you know exactly who’s coming to your door. Irons said safety is not only a concern for the customer, but the therapists themselves. “Therapists also need to feel safe,” she said. “We’re the only company in the industry that asks customers to verify their ID and mobile number prior to booking their first massage.” After that, according to Irons, your therapist will arrive, complete with “everything you need to turn your living room into a spa,” including the massage table, lotion, and music. A massage can be booked in 60, 75, and 90-minute sessions, from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., 365 days a year. In Wilmington, sessions start at $105.02, including tax and an 18 percent gratuity. Zeel also offers monthly membership services. “Zeel is the perfect solution for people who are on the go and can’t predict their schedules,” Irons said. “With Zeel, you can get a massage at a time and place that works for you. We bring the spa directly to your doorstep.” Not your average office party If you’ve ever wanted to throw an office party that’s a bit out of the ordinary, the service can help with that as well. According to Irons, this is a “very popular” service for Zeel, and can be set up for any size workplace. Irons said that through the “Zeel Corporate Wellness” program, the company is able to bring massages to companies, events, and workplaces across the country, and has even worked with the likes of Facebook and Pinterest in the past. “Companies can customize their bookings, the number of massage therapists, length of massage sessions, chair or clothed table massages, and recurrences from one-time to weekly, quarterly, and monthly,” she said. They’ll also come to you nearly anywhere in their operating area, from hotels to living rooms, even offering services right on the beach. Services around the Cape Fear will be offered at Wrightsville, Carolina, and Kure beaches, as well as Burgaw, Bayshore, Hampstead, Masonboro, Murrayville, Ogden, and Seagate.

The worst part about L.A. is—surprise—the traffic, so I use Zeel "massage on demand" when I’m in town. I recently went to a trade show and was on my feet for 16 hours straight, so I had arranged for a masseuse to come to my friend's house, where I was staying. It was incredible to have a massage outside in the backyard and actually smell the grass—an unheard-of luxury in New York.

"Vibration, gentle pressure, and mild heat are conducive to stress relief," says Eva Carey, a massage therapist and national community director of on-demand massage company Zeel. "The scalp holds a lot of tension–even a 10-minute massage can soothe a headache, better your mood, and boost energy." "Foot massage can reduce pain and swelling, especially if you stand all day," says Carey. "The heat works to soften muscle tissue, making the massage more effective."

Zeel Networks Inc., an on-demand massage provider, has closed $10 million of a $12 million Series A round. The funding comes as the service, which is available in 20 cities, is slated to expand into three more areas. Zeel plans to launch in Phoenix, Austin and Seattle on Monday. Emil Capital Partners led the round, which has participation from Slow Ventures, Partech Ventures, New Atlantic Ventures and Spafinder. The company didn’t disclose its valuation but has raised $15 million to date. Zeel took a circuitous path to its on-demand massages business. When the company first launched in 2010, its founders envisioned it would be a service like ZocDoc but for alternative medicine. Instead the team quickly noticed half the bookings the company received were for massages. They also observed that more than 50 % of the 25,000 bookings they received were for massages in the next four hours. As the team pivoted into on-demand massages, it moved to address concerns of customers and practitioners. The company also thought it could get the best therapists if it could provide them a feeling of security. The app requires customers to prove their true identity using a social security number or a scan of a government-issued ID. Zeel Chief Executive Samer Hamadeh said this discourages bad behavior among clients. “The whole industry was screaming for a service to do this,” Mr. Hamadeh said. Unlike other on-demand services, the Zeel app also lets customers know how much of the amount they paid actually goes to the therapist. Mr. Hamadeh said this encourages customer loyalty because they know the therapists are paid well on the platform. Zeel is one of several companies that have realized there is a large market for on-demand massages in the home. Mr. Hamadeh said he knows of at least a dozen startups in the category. Soothe Inc. raised $35 million in Series B funding earlier this month. Soothe also acquired competitor Unwind Me in the fall. Correction: A previous version of this article said Zeel raised $11.5 million to date. The company has raised $15 million to date.

Victoria Land’s back aches. It’s been a month since the 31-year-old public-relations manager’s last massage—her schedule’s unpredictable. And almost as bad was the effort she used to have to put into trying to book an appointment at her local spa. Instead, she pulls out her iPhone and opens Zeel, an app that summons a masseuse to her on demand. “It can fit into my timetable,” she says. “The fact that you just do the whole thing in your apartment—it’s just the best thing that ever happened.” In 19 U.S. cities, Zeel can send one of its 5,000-plus licensed massage therapists to your home, office, or hotel room in as little as an hour. Massages start at $105 for an hour, with prices varying by location, duration, and whether the customer needs a massage table. For devotees like Land, who says she uses the service at least once a month, the company offers a “Zeelot” package that includes a year of monthly massages starting at $84 per session. The app handles payment, including tax and tip, through a stored credit card, so no cash changes hands. The customer can also specify a male or female therapist. Besides vetting the therapists, Zeel requires would-be customers to enter a Social Security number, or submit a photo of a driver’s license or passport, when they register for the service. Chief Executive Officer Samer Hamadeh says this deters 30 percent of people from completing the sign-up process, but it’s worth it. “We have to verify who you are,” says Hamadeh. “There’s a lot of creepy guys that think massage means something else.” Most of the therapists have other sources of income, splitting their time among spas, client visits, or other careers. Karina Yanku, who’s been working as a massage therapist for 19 years, says app bookings have helped stabilize her workload. “It was becoming harder to make a living,” she says. “I started with Zeel three years ago, and I’ve never made so much money in my life.”
