Relaxing massage treatment at Auroraflow

Pay what
you can.

Wellness is a fundamental right, not a luxury. We regularly open our doors with sliding-scale pricing so financial circumstances never stand between you and the care you deserve.

Wellness for
everyone.

Massage and professional wellness are too often treated as luxuries, things you do once you can afford them. We disagree. Stress affects everyone, and the people who most need rest and healing are often the ones who can least afford it.

Pay What You Can days are our commitment to changing that, right here in Durham. Spots are limited, so if you're able to pay full price, we ask that you do. It helps us keep this program running for those who truly need it.

How it works

Find the next date

PWYC days don't run on a fixed schedule, but happen about twice a month. Follow us on Instagram @auroraflowmassage, or call or text us at (919) 229-9555, to find out when the next one is.

Book your spot

Spots are limited, so book early online or by phone. In your booking note, write "PWYC" along with the amount you plan to pay ($20 minimum).

Come in & pay what you can

At checkout, pay the amount you noted when booking. No questions, no judgment. If you're able to pay full price or more, we deeply appreciate it, it directly supports this program.

Why we do this

Stress doesn't discriminate

Chronic stress disproportionately affects marginalized communities, including BIPOC individuals and families with less economic security. Access to healing shouldn't follow the same inequities.

Community is our why

Auroraflow was built by and for the Durham community. PWYC days are one concrete way we put that value into practice, again and again.

It takes all of us

This program works because clients who can pay full price help subsidize access for those who can't. Every booking is part of that ecosystem of community care.

No questions asked

We won't ask you to prove financial need or explain yourself. You decide what to pay, and we trust you.
