FAQ's

Q. How much do you charge?
A. My rate is $70 per hours, plus HST. For specialty services, please contact me for more details.

Q. What can I expect?
A. Your first treatment will typically be 90-minutes long (although I will only charge for 60 minutes). This allows me to go over your health history and do some assessments at the beginning so we can determine a safe, effective treatment plan together. All dressing and undressing occurs in private, and you will be covered with a sheet at all times - with only the area being worked on being uncovered. You can choose what items of clothing to remove, although massage is best done directly on the skin. The genitals are never uncovered and are never, ever touched. I appreciate feedback, so if you would prefer a lighter (or firmer) touch, are chilled, or are uncomfortable about something, please let me know. Afterward, you will dress again in private, and then we will go over some simple things you can do at home to help maintain the treatment's effects. Depending on the treatment, you might be a little sore for a day or so. Just keep properly hydrated, and do some gentle motion to help ease things. If you are very uncomfortable, or if it lasts for longer than a day or two, let me know, and I will alter things for the next treatment.

Q. What about insurance?
A. Because I am a Registered Massage Therapist, my receipts are accepted by most extended health benefits programs. Please double-check with your insurer to see if you require a doctor's note and what your limits are.

Q. What is the difference between an RMT and just someone who offers massage?
A. An RMT has graduated from an intense, 2200-hour diploma program at an approved college. We have strict ethical guidelines to follow, and belong to one of two massage therapy associations in New Brunswick. The associations also require an in-depth police check before granting membership. Canadian RMT's have some of the most extensive training in the world. While a lay person may have great natural talent, and may even have taken some classes, they often don't have the training to deal with common health issues, or know how to avoid causing unintentional injury or worsening of a medical condition. High blood pressure, for instance, is very common, and RMT's are trained to take blood pressures and make adjustments to the treatment depending on the level of HBP. Also, lay people are not covered under health insurance plans, and while most are kind, good-hearted people, there is no one to do background checks or ensure ethical behaviour or even verify their level of knowledge and training.
