FAQ's
What can I expect from my first treatment?
It is normal to feel nervous for your first massage therapy session. I will ask you where you would like me to focus your massage, and offer suggestions that will cater to your needs. Most clients opt for a full body massage: legs, arms, back, neck and shoulders, or just a back, head and neck massage. I will instruct you on how to get on the table and what to wear according to your comfort level. I will leave the room and allow time for you to get set up and comfortable. You will be covered by sheets except for the area that I am massaging. It is important to remember that communication is important. I will ask your comfort level throughout the treatment and the option to stop or modify the treatment is always available.
What is the cancellation policy?
I require 24 hours notice to cancel a treatment, otherwise you will need to pay in full. Exceptions will be made for special circumstances. Please feel free to reach out if you need to cancel or re-book your treatment.
Do I need a doctor’s referral for my insurance policy?
Every insurance policy is different. I can direct bill most insurance companies, but it is best to check with your individual provider to see what percentage they cover and if they require a medical referral.
How often should I have a treatment?
We will discuss a treatment plan after your first massage. Some clients like to come in for preventive care, booking every 3-6 weeks. If you have an acute injury or a flareup, I will often encourage a series of treatments to address the issue and get you on your path to recovery quickly and efficiently.
Do you offer prenatal treatments?
Yes! II have worked as a Birth Attendant for many years and I love treating prenatal clients. I do not have a pregnancy table, but I have extra pillows and supports available to aid in your comfort for the duration of your treatment. I also offer in-home, postpartum massages. Please reach out if you would like more information on this service.
What do you accept for payment?
I can direct bill most Canadian insurance companies. I also accept cash, debit, credit cards and I have gift cards available for purchase.
