Registered Massage Therapy

+ What happens during a treatment session?

In your initial consultation with your selected practitioner, you will be asked questions related to what you hope to accomplish during treatment and how long you have been experiencing symptoms of discomfort, pain or lack of mobility. We will discuss your lifestyle, your current situation and those things that are working or not working for you. Some treatment can be short term. Sometimes treatment will need to be ongoing for several months to work on deeper or more severe issues. Together you and your practitioner will come up with a plan. You will be encouraged to be an active participant in treatment, and will be offered some reading or exercises which you can do on your own to integrate the best possible healing and change. Our aim is for you to leave the first session feeling some relief and with a plan in mind.

+ What can I expect from practitioners?

You can expect to receive compassion, empathy, respect and understanding from us in an environment that feels warm, safe and inviting. You can expect to receive practical guidance and perhaps new perspectives to help you uncover and understand patterns and negative habits that are inhibiting you from living your best life. By using empathy and by paying careful attention to your words, mood, and body language, we will work in a way that feels comfortable for you, at your pace, and always with your goals in mind.

+ What does each treatment session cost? Will my health insurance pay for it?

Registered Massage Therapy for an individual treatment session can range from $120-$190, depending on the duration of the session.

All our practitioners are registered members within their field. Registered Massage Therapy, Acupuncture and Naturopathic Medicine treatments sessions are typically covered by extended health benefits plans. However, as every plan is different, we ask that you confirm the exact details of your benefits in advance. We provide insurance receipts electronically and offer direct billing to.
