This is great news for massage therapists and patients. Please take a moment to sign and help us become HST free. We’ve been fighting this battle for years and should not be charging HST as regulated health care.

For official federal e‑petitions in Canada (including ones about GST/HST on massage therapy), signers must provide a name, email, and location information such as city and province or postal code. This helps show that support is coming from real residents across different ridings, which matters when presenting the petition to the federal government or specific Members of Parliament.

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.

I love when clients share their ideas with me!
I’ve been debating for a while now about adding a room divider… and after one of you suggested it would be a nice touch, I finally went for it!
The new divider is in — and I’m loving the cozy upgrade to the space!

✨ Exciting News! ✨

After only being able to open her business for less then a month last spring and being so excited to learn all about running her own business and book keeping my daughter had to stop selling her eggs because of a dog attack.

I’m thrilled to share that after learning an important thing about business, ups and downs happen when your running a business, she is back up and running! 💼❤️

Teaching her the value of hard work, dedication, and perseverance.

Stay tuned for updates as she continues to learn and grow! 🌟
