INSURANCE NOTE
Please Note: These sessions are performed by experienced, highly skilled non-Registered Massage Therapists (non-RMTs). While they offer incredible therapeutic and restorative benefits, they are not eligible for coverage under BC Extended Health Benefits. If you do not require an insurance receipt and are simply looking to relax, recover, and feel rejuvenated, these treatments are perfect for you!
If you have a Health Spending Account or Wellness/Lifestyle Spending Account as part of your health insurance, you may be able to claim these services under those. Please check with your insurer first.
Why Choose a Non-RMT Session?
- Immediate Access: Because our RMT schedule is full, our non-RMT practitioners often have much wider, flexible availability to get you on the table when you need it most.
- No “Treatment Plan” Pressure, Purely for Your Well-being: RMT sessions are clinical and assessment-focused, often requiring orthopaedic testing, postural checks, and targeted homework exercises. Our wellness sessions skip the clinical diagnostic paperwork and focus entirely on rhythmic, soothing, and continuous hands-on touch. It’s pure, uninterrupted space for you to drift off.
- Lower Out-of-Pocket Cost for the Uninsured: If you don’t have extended health benefits (or have already maxed out your annual massage coverage), paying out-of-pocket for an RMT can be a heavy financial stretch. Our non-RMT wellness sessions offer a more accessible price point, allowing you to prioritize regular, consistent bodywork without breaking the bank.
- Global Techniques & Spa-Quality Flow: Our practitioners bring specialized, internationally recognized training to the table, like European classical massage, luxury cruise line protocols, and advanced lymphatic sculpting. This offers a deeply relaxing, “spa-style” flow that is often quite different from the strictly anatomical or rehabilitative focus of a traditional Canadian RMT session.
- The Perfect Companion to Sauna & Self-Care Days: If you are booking a session simply to pair with a soak, a sauna session, or a quiet afternoon of personal reflection, a wellness massage is the perfect fit. It complements your existing wellness routines beautifully, acting as a nervous system reset rather than a medical appointment.
