Question 1

What type of massage do you specialize in?

Accepted Answer

I give and enjoy treating complex issues through active range of motion, pin and stretch and sports techniques but offer a variety of modalities such as cupping, graston, myofascial release and hot stone massage!

Question 2

What should I expect during the session?

Accepted Answer

Undressing to your level of comfort while draped on the table at all times, we will work with you chief complaints and go forward with treatment based on what kind of pressure you prefer to take.

Question 3

Can you direct bill?

Accepted Answer

I have been an RMT in Alberta since 2017, however, the registration isn’t transferable to BC, therefore I’m unable to direct bill at this time. I am currently studying for my registration exam to be an RMT in BC, hopefully doing the exam next spring!

Question 4

How much are my rates?

Accepted Answer

$90 CAD for a 60 minute massage, $120 for a 90 minute massage. You have the option between sports or therapeutic massage! I currently charge at a discount rate as I am unregistered in BC.

Question 5

Are there any conditions/things I need to tell you about?

Accepted Answer

Confidentiality is my number one priority, I will make sure I create a safe and open space so that you can disclose any concerns, issues, conditions that might impact or adjust my approach on massage. (ie. psoriasis, PTSD, pregnancy, medications, etc.)

Question 6

What should I wear to the massage?

Accepted Answer

Any comfortable clothing that you would feel comfortable to get oil or lotion on (residual) from the treatment!

Question 7

Is it okay to let you know if pressure or heat is too deep?

Accepted Answer

100%, I would rather you as comfortable as can be than “fighting through the pain” or heat that could easily be adjusted for your comfort!

Question 8

What should I do after the treatment?

Accepted Answer

Stay hydrated, light movement/stretching, rest. I will typically modify my recommendations post-massage depending on the persons needs/exceptations/symptoms - one size does not fit all!

Question 9

How often should I get a massage?

Accepted Answer

For general maintenance about 4-8 weeks, I personally go about every 4 weeks! For those experiencing more acute symptoms, I recommend more often (weekly/biweekly) depending of if it’s feasible for you or how bad the issue is!
