Relax, Unwind & Let Go
Registered Massage Therapy
Nurture Yourself
Whether you are experiencing physical pain, stress, tension or need nurturing self-care, massage therapy can help you realign and rebalance. Massage Therapy can also prevent your minor aches and pains from turning into aggravating, more serious issues later on. In addition to preventive massage care, massage provided by a Registered Massage Therapist can be effective with acute or chronic situations, peri-natal, and palliative care.
I provide Registered Massage Therapy sessions for all ages, including seniors and children. All massage therapy sessions are personalised treatments that fully consider your goals and expected outcomes for each session while attending to your overall well-being.
Personalized Treatment
Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) assess and treat pain and physical dysfunction of the soft tissues, muscles and joints of the body. Massage Therapy has many benefits such as pain relief, relaxation, better sleep, and also promotes circulation, helping enhance the detoxification processes of the body.
Based on your initial assessment and personalized treatment plan, I will use a variety of techniques for the best possible outcome, such as swedish or thai massage, reflexology, gentle acupressure, fascial release, muscle activation or joint mobilization. Craniosacral techniques, Aromatherapy, and Reiki are also options for treatment.
After the treatment I give advice on how to maintain and enhance the positive effects on your muscles and joints. These self-care recommendations may include stretching and strengthening exercises, self-massage, aromatherapy and hydrotherapy (sauna, hot/cold packs or warm baths), breathing and relaxation techniques, or modified yoga postures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Help?
Do you offer at home treatments?
Registered Massage Therapy is offered at Heart Lotus Health clinic only.
How often should I get a massage?
Clinically, it depends on the nature of your discomfort and if it's an acute or chronic condition. Some people go to RMTs for the benefit of relaxation on a need to come basis. With relaxation as a treatment plan, I recommend a full body massage at least once a season. Treatment plans, however, are highly individualized. For example, a minor muscle strain may require two or three treatments, with a reassessment and home self-care instructions to resolve the situation, however, more visits may be necessary for others.
Is massage covered by OHIP?
Massage is not covered by OHIP. Many Extended Health Plans, however, cover treatment from a Registered Massage Therapist.
Insurance receipts are issued for RMT sessions.
Do I need to undress to get a massage?
A Registered Massage Therapy session can be done with clothing on. During a massage the body is always covered with a sheet except for the part that is being massaged. A separate written consent by you must be provided for upper chest, breast, gluteal and upper inner thigh.
What does Registered Massage Therapy mean?
Massage therapy is a regulated health profession all across Canada, and Massage Therapists (MT) or Registered Massage Therapists (RMT) have exclusive rights to these titles.
In Ontario, Registered Massage Therapists are governed by College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO), receiving its authority from the Regulated Health Practitioners Association Act 1991 (RHPA), and the Massage Therapy Act 1991.
Registered Massage Therapists complete a 2 or 3 year diploma program from an approved massage therapy school. My RMT program at Sutherland-Chan included 2200 hours of training in the areas of anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, clinical massage, clinical theory, hydrotherapy, remedial exercise and nutrition.
Registered Massage Therapists in the province of Ontario participate in a Quality Assurance Program through the CMTO that assists them in the maintenance of high professional standards and quality care of their clients.
