Unfortunately, the new HST will be coming into effect July 1st, 2010. This means that instead of just charging the 5% GST on our services our fees will be subject to the much higher 13%. Our association (OMTA) has been lobbying the government to make massage therapists exempt from having to charge tax on their services but to no avail. The government will force us to charge 13% HST on our services effective July 1st, 2010.

After filling out a brief health history form an assessment will be conducted and an individual treatment plan will be discussed before starting the massage portion of the session. Please feel free to ask any questions at any time during your session. It is very important that you feel comfortable, relaxed and safe during your session. Massage therapy is most effective when performed directly onto the skin, however, you may leave as much clothing on as you wish. You will be completely draped with a sheet and blanket for the duration your session with only the area being worked on being exposed. Privacy is given to dress and undress before and after your session. You may stop or alter the treatment at any time throughout the session, for any reason.
