Relaxation doesn't always come easy! I take pride in creating a safe space for patients to unwind and let go.

To everyone who let me be a small part of your healing this year — thank you.
For the trust, the referrals, the consistency, the quiet bravery of showing up for yourself.

Your care for your own wellbeing is its own kind of poetry,
and I’m honoured to walk beside you in it. 💜

Here’s to another year of softening, unwinding, and providing care you’ve come to expect.

8 new appointments available! These will fill crazy fast! If you have benefits to use up, here’s your last chance! These new appointments will be subject to a 50% premium as they are outside my regular hours.

Additionally, please note my cancellation policy is in full effect. Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours notice are billed 50% of the treatment fee and no-shows/same-day cancellations are billed in full. This protects my time and ensures fairness for all my patients.

This petition is to support the removal of the HST from Massage Therapy services at the federal level. We need both levels of government to work collectively to achieve these results! Please consider signing!

An RMT in British Columbia recently created a new federal petition to gather further support for HST/GST exemption for massage therapy in Canada.

This petition is sponsored by MP Brad Vis, who has previously championed similar exemption petitions directed towards the previous federal government.

A related petition, recently presented in the House of Commons by Newfoundland MP Jonathan Rowe, has already mandated a government response. Every new petition presented with maximum signatures further amplifies our collective voice and compels the government to act on this crucial issue.

We strongly encourage all RMTs, massage therapy students, and members of the public to sign this petition before it expires on December 25, 2025: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6753

The HST is harmonizing of the GST and the PST. We need the support of the Provincial and Federal governments to have it removed. Please consider signing this petition!
I appreciate your support!

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.

Share the press release: https://www.ontariondp.ca/news/mpp-g-linas-calls-hst-be-removed-treatments-delivered-registered-massage-therapists

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.
