Our Commitment to You:
Comprehensive Treatments
We don't offer short, symptom-treating sessions. Each booking includes assessment, treatment, and home care that views your body as a whole, self-healing unit.
Detailed Intake
We have a (possibly painfully) long intake form. Why? Because the more we know about you, the less appointment time we spend understanding the problem.
(Re) Assessments
Our assessment includes considering your personal symptoms, habits, and physical assessment results. Reassessment tells you immediately whether treatment is helping.
Really Comprehensive Treatments
We work on muscles, fascia, skin (scar tissue), tendons, ligaments, joints, and more. Skip guessing who treats what and try comprehensive care.
High Quality
From training and textbooks, to an oversized hydraulic table with with full table warmer, we continue to look for ways to provide you with the best experience possible.
Safety and Sanitization
In addition to Ministry of Health protocols on sanitization and safety, we use an air purifier during appointments and allow a half hour between them to air out the treatment room.
Consent at All Times
Assessment through treatment, you can modify or stop your session at any time. Feel free to speak up so we can find a way to get you healthy AND happy with the process.
Care and Respect

we see you,(in the form you exist right now) as a miracle. We're honored by your trust, and promise our care and respect.
Less Us, More You

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I book Massage or Osteopathy?
We do my best to help you feel your best, regardless what you book.
Will my insurance cover the treatment?
Registered Massage Therapy is covered by most health care insurance plans. Manual Osteopathy depends on whether your specific plan accepts my Osteopathy Association, ACMA. It is your responsibility to check with your insurance provider regarding your coverage.
What is osteopathy?
It's a system of treating the body as a whole, comprehensive self-healing unit.
What if I just want the usual massage?
Oil massage while the client is passive is fantastic for relaxing, but not always the most effective way to treat. If that's what you prefer, just let us know and we're happy to accommodate you.
What kind of pressure do you use?
The pressure depends on the technique used, the state of the tissue being treated, and the preference of the client.
What if I need to cancel?
Understandable, you are able to cancel online through the booking system. However, if you cancel within 24-hours, our cancellation policy will apply.
Is my appointment private?
Everything from your online forms to my treatment notes are private. For more information, see our privacy policy.
Is the treatment with clothes or without?
Your treatment plan may include some assisted stretching, active massage techniques, and/or exercises. To facilitate this, it's recommended that you wear something comfortable to move in.
Do I have to do the clothed part?
Not at all. After your assessment we will present the treatment plan we think will work best for you. It's up to you whether you want to modify it to be more relaxing.
Do I have to do the unclothed part?
You choose!
Is there parking?
There is street parking on Dundas Street, as well as parking behind the building. Just make sure to note where there are no parking signs when parking along roads.
When should I arrive?
Please arrive for your appointment 5 minutes early, remove your shoes, and have a seat at the front of the studio.
