How Massage Therapy Can Help You
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, of course. I am registered with the CMTO and in good standing, which means you are able to submit the receipts I give you for reimbursement from your insurance company.
I don't require a doctor's referral to treat you. However, your insurance company may require a doctor's prescription before they reimburse you. It's best to check with your insurance company before booking.
No, but I provide an email receipt that you can easily submit to your insurance for reimbursement. The only insurance I direct bill for is Veteran Affairs.
Yes, absolutely. Massage is safe at every stage of pregnancy, including the first trimester. It’s a proven way to reduce stress, relieve pain, and support your body through the changes of pregnancy.
The idea that massage can trigger labour in early pregnancy is a common myth — there’s no evidence behind it. I always use safe, tailored techniques, especially when working with prenatal clients in early pregnancy.
You’ll be supported with comfortable, pregnancy-safe positioning:
- First & Second trimester: Often face-down (prone) with supportive cushions, depending on your comfort and stage of pregnancy.
- Third trimester: Typically side-lying with pillows and bolsters for maximum comfort and safety.
Your first session begins with a conversation about your health and pregnancy stage. I’ll explain positioning and safety protocols so you feel informed and comfortable.
Please arrive 5–10 minutes early to complete intake forms and allow time to settle in, so your session can begin in a calm and relaxed way.
If you have high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, a high-risk pregnancy, or significant swelling, please get clearance from your healthcare provider first.
Prenatal massage can ease back pain, reduce swelling, improve circulation, decrease stress, promote better sleep, and offer emotional support during pregnancy.
