I regret to inform you that with recent developments on the Covid-19 pandemic and with the strong recommendation of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario
I’m suspending all massage therapy treatments until further notice.

As regulated healthcare professionals Public Safety is our number one concern.

Let’s all stay safe and keep our social distance.

Remember you may be healthy and strong but not everyone is that lucky. Some people have parents or other loved ones that are immune compromised, others may be young and look healthy on the outside and have conditions that aren’t visible ie; heart conditions, asthma/lung conditions, autoimmune conditions, etc.

Be kind and stay healthy.

Let’s flatten that curve so we can get back to our lives as soon as possible.

Remember folks, you want to wash your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds. I'm not sure it's possible to get through this in under 25 seconds, but if you do then please share video.
