OUT OF OFFICE: Returning Jan 5, 2026 💜💜💜

After a very full 2025, I’m honouring something just as important as showing up:

rest 💜💜💜

Taking time to pause, breathe, and do nothing—without guilt.

💜

As a massage therapist, I know healing doesn’t happen only on the table. It happens when we listen to our bodies, soften the nervous system, and allow space for integration.

💜

This quiet time refills my cup so I can continue to serve from a grounded, heart-centered place.

Deeply grateful for every client, every conversation, and every moment of trust this year.

💜

Thank you for being part of the journey. Here’s to rest, renewal, and moving forward with intention for all the 2026 has to offer. ✨

Until then…

Please sign the petition! 💜🙏🏼💜

We are getting closer to HST Exemption for Registered Massage Therapy!!!

Thank you Registered Massage Therapists' Association of Ontario for your continued advocacy in this important matter.

This week, a Private Member's Bill supporting HST exemption for Ontario RMTs was introduced, a direct result of RMTAO advocacy and member efforts this past year, notably at our October 2025 Queen's Park Day.

MPP France Gélinas, the NDP Health Critic, introduced the Massage Therapy Tax Act, 2025. Under this Act, the Minister of Health is mandated to take every necessary measure, including introducing legislation, to bring the tax treatment of massage therapy services provided by Ontario RMTs into alignment with the tax treatment of services provided by other practitioners.

The Bill has already passed its first reading, marking an exciting first step. While additional readings are required for it to proceed, this early success is an important step forward, thanks to our advocacy efforts.

To increase support for the Bill as it goes through the legislative process, MPP Gélinas has created a petition to support the removal of HST from massage therapy services. We encourage you to sign this petition and share it widely with your networks to support the Bill's success.

Sign the petition: https://francegelinas.ca/remove-the-hst-from-massage-therapy-services-retirez-la-tvh-des-services-de-massotherapeutes/

MPP Gélinas also shared a press release today to increase awareness of and support for this issue. This would be a great resource to share to help spread the word.

This is an important and encouraging step in our efforts towards HST exemption. This was made possible due to the support of members who have continued to bring this issue forward, as well as the culmination of continuous advocacy efforts by the RMTAO.

We will provide you with updates as soon as they become available.
