Rate change information

On January 1st, 2026, there will be a price increase for all Registered Massage Therapy services. The following information addresses the changes.

New rates for 2026

As of January 1, 2026 the new rates for Registered Massage Therapy treatments will be as follows:

30 minute Massage - $80 (previously $69)
45 minute Massage - $105 (previously $93)
60 minute Massage - $130 (previously $110)

GST is included in all rates.

Rates have not changed since 2021. However with the rising costs of clinic rent, mandatory insurance premiums, and increased licensing fees over the last several years it has become necessary to make price adjustments.

I remain committed to providing you with the best service that I can and this adjustment reflects my ongoing dedication to your well-being. This will allow me to keep my focus where it belongs, on you and what will best help you on your recovery and long-term health goals.

It is understandable that this increase might raise questions or concerns about how it will impact you financially. While I can’t offer a sliding scale (professional bylaws don’t allow this) I will always be available to talk with you about making a treatment plan that best serves you and your goals within your financial and time constraints. Please do not hesitate to contact me about this.

I greatly appreciate your understanding and continued support as this change is implemented. If you have any questions or would like more information please do not hesitate to reach out to me via text, phone call or email. I am always happy to chat with you.

Thank you for choosing me as your partner in health and wellness.

What is massage therapy?

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body through the use of different techniques. The different techniques can stretch tight tissue (muscles, tendons and fascia), encourage an increase in circulation, stimulate or sedate the nervous system and much more. Massage therapy is also good for relieving stress and stress related ailments.

Who would massage therapy help?

Everyone! Most jobs in our world cause issues within your body because of the repetitive motions or the unmoving positions we put our bodies in. For an example, computers are found everywhere in our day and age, and because of the rigid positions we place ourselves in to use them muscular imbalances happen. Massage therapy can be useful in the treatment of many health conditions.

What should I expect at an appointment?

Appointments, regardless of length, will always follow the same format. A health history and assessment will always be taken at the beginning of the appointment. This will be kept as short as possible but is required to determine the best course of treatment. Then you’ll have your massage treatment. This will take up most of the time in your appointment. Lastly you’ll be reassessed and given homecare. Homecare will be anything from putting ice or heat on a sore muscle to stretches and strengthening exercises. For your first appointment, please arrive 10-15 minutes early to fill out a health questionnaire. If you would rather fill it out before your appointment and bring it with you, you can find the document here and come only 5 minutes early; please fill it out in pen.

I am pregnant, how can I get my back massaged?

You can either lay on your side, or lay face down on a special cushion that has a hole cut out of it for your abdomen. Either option is 100% effective and completely up to you. Many expecting mothers have said that the cushion is very comfortable and they don't feel any discomfort with laying on their front.
