Best clinic for a pregnancy massage! I visited RMT Vanessa McBain in my 7th month of pregnancy to alleviate some of the sciatic nerve pain I was experiencing. What I loved especially was the massage table. They have the pregnancy cushion that supports your belly so you can actually lie the way youre supposed to during a massage. I could have stayed there all day! I recommend doing the same if youre pregnant. My only regret is not living closer to frequent the clinic more often.

I've been getting massage therapy here for several years and was always happy. Recently though, it seems that the centre is focusing more on yoga than massage. There are only 2 RMTs who only have appointments on Mondays and Thursdays and nothing available in the evenings. Last year I would've given them 5 stars but with the lack of appointment options and a few other recent issues, it's only 2 stars.

It’s was a wonderful experience of light touch therapy, meditation & yoga. Having fibromyalgia myself makes it pain to do just about everything but Jessica & Tracy made my first yoga experience calming & almost pain free. Thank you so much and I can’t wait for the next session
