Questions

Booking & Availability
Q.

A.

Online booking is available 24/7 for our Russell location only. Unfortunately, our Alexandria location is full and not accepting new clients at this time.

Q.

How do I get help with booking?

A.

We are a small practice without reception, but we do our best to assist you with booking. You can call or text us at 613-360-4169 or email us for help with booking.

Insurance & Payment
Q.

Do you offer direct billing for insurance?

A.

We do not direct bill at this time, as insurance companies tend to reimburse clients faster. Our focus is on providing exceptional treatment, and facilitating paperwork allows us to serve you better.

Q.

What forms of payment do you accept?

A.

We accept debit, Visa, Mastercard, and cash. Receipts are issued after payment of treatment. If you do not have extended insurance, please check with your accountant about submitting your receipts on your income tax.

Please arrive a few minutes early for your appointment. We do our best to stay on schedule to maximize your booked time.

Both of our locations have stairs. If this is an issue, please contact us so we can arrange alternatives.

Cancellation Policy
Q.

What is your cancellation policy?

A.

We have a 24-hour rescheduling and cancellation policy. Late cancellations, rescheduling, and no-shows will be charged the full amount of the scheduled appointment. Please note that insurance receipts cannot be issued in these cases.

Suitability & Safety of Massage Therapy
Q.

Is massage therapy right for me?

A.

Massage is beneficial for most people, regardless of age, and can address soft tissue issues such as sprains, strains, and sore muscles. However, if you have uncontrolled hypertension, blocked arteries, aneurysms, or hemophilia, please contact us to discuss alternatives to treatment. If you are sick or have a fever, kindly reschedule to prevent spreading illness to others. Massage is also safe during pregnancy, and alternatives can be provided—please inform your therapist if you might be pregnant. All health information is kept confidential.

Q.

What should I wear during a massage?

A.

Your comfort and safety are our priority. You may remove as much clothing as you feel comfortable with. During the treatment, you will be fully covered with a sheet and blanket, with only the area being treated uncovered. Your therapist will review this with you before and during your session, and you will have complete privacy to undress before and after treatment.

Q.

Is massage therapy supposed to hurt?

A.

Massage therapy should not be painful. While there may be moments of discomfort or brief pain during treatment, particularly if you have an injury or it has been a while since your last session, you should always communicate with your therapist about any discomfort. We aim to provide treatments that suit your needs without causing stress or pain.
