It's Massage Therapy Awareness Week!

Massage therapy is so much more than rubbing someone's muscles and relieving tension.

It's pain management.
It's giving someone back their mobility and freedom.
It's cheering them on and helping them make change .
It's listening to their stories and stressors.
It's giving them hope when they have none left.

It's a life changing career. It's hard, daunting, exhausting and so rewarding. After almost a decade in this profession, I can honestly say it is the kind of career that makes you feel like what you do matters.
Here's to all my fellow RMTs out there giving your all and doing your best - I see you!

Hey all! It's come to my attention that my account has unfortunately been compromised and someone is using my posts and photos and pretending to be me.

It makes me absolutely sick to think about, as they have used a photo of my child. Unfortunately, they've blocked me so I can't report them myself but if you could all do me a solid and report them, I would be forever grateful!

I've certainly learned my lesson to not share photos I wouldn't want cloned and will not be posting family photos anymore.

If you could report them and share this so more people can see to report them as well, that would be amazing. I appreciate you all for helping me with this! ❤️

❗️Please sign to help us hopefully get rid of GST/HST that massage therapists are still required to charge❗️

Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are licensed and government-regulated health professionals, just like chiropractors, naturopaths, and acupuncturists. But there’s ONE big difference: RMTs still have to charge GST/HST—others don’t!

Massage therapy is a recognized medical treatment, covered by insurance and used to treat real health issues—not a luxury. Taxing it unfairly raises costs for patients and creates barriers to care and treat others.

This isn’t just about helping RMTs—it’s about making healthcare more affordable and fair for everyone!
Ending the tax on RMT services will:

-Lower costs for patients
-Remove unfair double standards
-Help more people access the care they need

We call on the Government of Canada to remove GST/HST from RMT services and support equal treatment in healthcare.

We also call on YOU NOW while scrolling, take a moment to stop the governments outrageous taxing and make treatments and helping your community more important.. all it takes to fill out is general understanding of technology (clicking, scrolling, reading), 4 clicks in 2 minutes.
