One of the most important aspects when engaging in therapy is your comfort and trust in your therapist. You should have a good sense upon our initial session if I am the right fit for you. I am also happy to schedule a complementary 15 minute phone conversation to determine fit and answer any other questions you may have. While I specialize in postpartum counselling, maternal mental health, grief, loss, and parental support, I welcome all clients 13+ for a variety of other needs including anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

A: This is a common question I receive from new clients.Short answer “no.”
When you enter the room, you will see a massage table set up with a blanket and sheets. The reason is for your comfort, your privacy and of course to keep you warm. You are not required to be completely naked, some people keep their underwear on or if we are working only upper body, you remove your top only. This is at your discretion. The only time you will be undraped is for each area that is worked on. For example: if your back is the area, the sheet and blanket will be removed and secured at your waist, leaving your buttocks and legs covered.
A: All massage therapists are registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO). Because of this, we are required to follow specific rules to be able to safely apply massage treatment to the public. As to abide by the legislation, the college needs us to record each time when we are treating sensitive areas. How Soap Vault has added new forms for each therapist to have our clients sign online.
Below is a quote from the CMTO website
The College has just released new Standards for Maintaining Professional Boundaries and Preventing Sexual Abuse. The Standards articulate the minimum acceptable performance by the Massage Therapy profession in Ontario.
The new Standards are designed to align with new Government of Ontario legislation, the Protecting Patients Act, 2017. Prior to finalizing the new Standards, CMTO consulted with the public, stakeholders and registrants/Registered Massage Therapists (“RMTs” or “MTs”).
After considering the input of nearly 2,500 participants on the draft, the finalized CMTO Standards are in effect (as of September 11, 2017).
The updated Standards contain significant changes that may affect your practice:
Treatment of Sensitive Areas The definition of what would lead to mandatory revocation of a registrant’s Certificate of Registration with the College has been expanded to include sexual touching of the following sensitive areas: breast, chest wall, gluteal, and upper inner thigh. If clinically indicated, registrants may treat these sensitive areas but need to ensure their client is aware of the assessment and treatment proposed, including any risks, benefits and other aspects of informed consent. Prior to treating sensitive areas, the treatment must be clinically indicated and written consent must be obtained.

A: Please remember that your appointment time is reserved especially for you. In order that appointments remain available to all clients, cancel your appointment up to 24 hours before the scheduled time through your account online or contact the clinic at 905-769-3355 or by text 905-746-2675.
Please note: You will be charged the full amount for the appointment that you missed in the event of not showing up without notice.
That time, if canceled 24 hours before, we have a waiting list of people who we can offer it to. If you do not show up, that means, we had been waiting for you, giving you time to get to us, in case an accident or traffic causes you to be late. There is no way we can offer it to another person, as it takes time for them to get to us…
Thank you in advance for your co-operation.

This is the form we have each person sign 24 hours before their appointment, which will be sent to the email on file.
As of January 6, 2022, CMTO has updated all Massage Therapists with the following information:
Vaccination
Regardless of RMT and/or client vaccination, RMTs must practice in accordance with CMTO’s COVID-19 Pandemic – Practice Guidance for Massage Therapists (e.g., masking, infection prevention and control measures) until further notice. CMTO strongly encourages COVID-19 vaccination for RMTs.
New Self-Isolation Requirements and Returning to Work- January 6, 2022 Update
The Ontario Ministry of Health also released updated COVID-19 Testing & Case, Contact and Outbreak Management Interim Guidance in response to the Omicron surge. RMTs are encouraged to review this document to understand their isolation requirements based on symptoms, exposure, vaccination status, practice setting and/or client population. The document contains three flow charts that can help RMTs understand what to do if they are symptomatic or have been exposed to a positive case.
New Directive 2 Issued- January 6, 2022 Update
The Chief Medical Officer of Health has issued a new Directive 2 for hospitals and regulated health professionals. Registered Massage Therapists will generally not be impacted by Directive 2, as it limits surgeries and procedures that carry a risk of using further hospital/emergency medical services.
