Fee Update + Simplified Booking

As of September, I’ll be simplifying my Massage Therapy fee structure so that regular, TMJ/TMD, and pelvic health appointments are billed at the same time-based rates.

Demand has changed over time, particularly for TMJ care, and I wanted the fee structure to be more consistent and easier to understand. This also means patients no longer need to choose between different fee schedules for different treatment focuses.

TMJ/TMD and pelvic health appointments should still be booked under their respective appointment types so the appropriate health history, consent, assessment, and documentation are in place. These appointments are available during select booking times only.

I’m also giving myself a small birthday raise this year. HBD to me! 🎉

*Appointments are increasing by $5+, which is in line with the gradual fee increases I’ve always made over the years.

New Massage Therapy fees:

30 min Follow-up — $95
45 min Follow-up — $110
60 min Follow-up — $130
75 min Initial Assessment & Treatment — $140
90 min Initial/Follow-up — $180

All fees include HST.

Thank you to everyone who continues to trust me with their care and support my practice as it continues to grow and evolve. I appreciate each and every one of you 💕

New blog is up: Jaw Pain, Headaches, and Neck Discomfort: Why Assessment Matters

Jaw pain is not always one simple symptom.

Some patients notice jaw discomfort, clicking, clenching, headaches, temple pain, neck stiffness, tooth sensitivity, or ear-area pressure — and they are not sure where to start.

In this blog, I talk about why assessment matters when it comes to jaw-related symptoms, how I approach these concerns as an RMT, and how Massage Therapy may fit into conservative, collaborative care.

I also cover the difference between “TMJ” and TMD/TMJD, what is within my scope, when dental or medical care may be needed, and how consent applies to intra-oral Massage Therapy.

You do not need to know the perfect terminology before asking for help. If you tell me “I have TMJ,” I know what you mean, and we can start there.

🚗 Parking Update

A small change to make parking a little easier!

I’ll now be parking my red Nissan in the very last designated space on the right, closest to the covered parking area.

Free patient parking is available in the space directly beside my vehicle.

This change gives a little more room for patients pulling into the space, particularly those driving larger vehicles.

📍 Please note: the parking spaces along the building wall are not designated for my office.

The side entrance closest to the parking spaces is locked at all times. If you would like to use this entrance, text 705-798-0717 when you arrive and I’ll meet you at the door.

The main entrance off Ross Street is accessible and is open during regular building hours. It is locked after 6 PM Monday–Friday and on weekends.

New number, who dis? 📱

I officially have a dedicated business phone number!

Please update my contact information and use (705) 798-0717 for all future calls and text messages related to appointments or Massage Therapy.

Text is still the best way to reach me, as my phone is kept on silent while I’m with patients. I’ll return calls and messages as I’m available.

My previous 807 number will no longer be my primary business contact.

You can also find my updated contact information through my website, online booking page, Google Business Profile, and the Start Here Highlight.

Summer Schedule Update ☀️

I’ve added more availability to my schedule this summer!

You can book online through the links in my bio, or text 807.707.3134 with your availability and I’ll do my best to accommodate you.

A quick note about online booking: sometimes the system may not show an appointment because it runs slightly outside of my posted shift. If you don’t see a time that works, text me anyway. I usually know whether I can stay a little later or adjust the timing.

A few people have also asked if I’m taking time off this summer or going on mat leave — nope! No big travel plans, and mat leave is long behind me. 😂

I will be away Monday, July 13 to help my sister move into her new home in London, ON. I have a feeling I’ll be needing the pool after that move! Huge congrats to her on this next chapter. 🏡

Other than the odd long weekend with my family, I’ll be around and available this summer.

And not to worry — enjoy your own time off, vacations, camping trips, cottage weekends, and summer plans. I’ll be here when you return. ☀️
