I have now been to see 3 different RMT's at Kanata Massage Therapy since June 2013. Upon my first visit Wendy had suggested "trying out" different therapists in order to find the one best suited to my needs which I thought was a great idea. My first appointment was with Nancy Aubin. She was very skillful and applied just the right amount of pressure leaving me feel great. The only downside is that I had mentioned at the outset that I didn't want to talk much as I'd had a long day at work and wanted just to relax. Unfortunately she kept me actively chatting throughout my massage and it wasn't very light talk either so it wasn't as relaxing an experience as it could have been. My second appointment was with Dana Mellway and I must say she is my favourite RMT so far. She is technically skilled and was a very nice and upbeat person to spend the hour with which made it a more relaxing experience. My third and most recent appointment was with Helen Anderson and sadly I found the entire experience very disappointing. Unlike the other two RMT's, I found her to be not as warm and friendly from the outset. In addition, she didn't ask me what problem areas I had and therefore did not focus on them during the massage. She made me feel incredibly rushed even though I arrived early and I was far from relaxed by the end of the appointment. I mentioned during my massage that I had swollen lower legs and feet due to pregnancy related fluid retention but she told me that she could not massage them because of the risk of inducing labour. Upon researching this after my appointment (it was the first time I'd heard that) I found sources stating that although the ankles can stimulate pelvic muscles, there was no mention of the calves or feet themselves (for the third trimester) and also, being a low risk pregnancy it was unlikely to cause any issues. I was extremely disappointed as one of the main reasons I was looking forward to the massage was to help with this swelling which has become almost debilitating. Instead, she spent more time on my neck and head which was not at all an equivalent replacement in my opinion. The way she massaged my neck caused immediate pressure and I could feel my vertebra moving - it felt more like chiropracy and made me nervous. My neck was sore for a few days afterwards and I've never had neck issues. Unfortunately she was also very chatty so in all in all the entire experience was quite upsetting. She may have been having a bad day but given my one experience, I definitely DO NOT recommend booking a massage with Helen Anderson. My next appointment is with Wendy Parker and I'm very much looking forward to it given the other reviews I've seen.

Nancy is amazing! I have been going for myself and for my toddler who she is just fantastic with. I highly recommend her, and have been recommending her to so many people I know. I recommend looking into craniosacral therapy so you can get the most out of her treatments because she has training in that area as well. As others have said, this clinic and Nancy are just a gem.

My experience with Elissa was fantastic! I booked follow up sessions as I was impressed.

I came to this clinic with some kind of nerve pain in my right lower back and down my leg and was treated by Nancy Aubin. She was very professional and knowledgeable, and gave a great massage - I had no pain when I left the clinic, and though it came back to a lesser degree later on, I followed the stretching exercises she recommended and rarely notice it anymore. I'll definitely be back to continue treatment!

This place seems to be open forever and all the massage therapists are great. I have been seeing Nancy Aubin for a couple of years now and she is a magician. She is particularly good on the neck and shoulders and works with different pressure units. The place is a little small but it's very cozy and always smells amazing. They also work weekends and early hours too which is a great plus.

Nancy Aubin has been my go-to RMT the past two years. I have seen her numerous times and she has consistently been so effective in relieving my tight shoulder pain and hence helping me feel much more relaxed. Nancy is professional, friendly and an expert at what she does. I highly recommend her.

Nancy is a gem

Pro-Action Sports Injury Clinic

I recently had a massage by Katelyn after I had some low back issues that left me stiff for a week. Her treatment definitely helped relax my muscles and return to my normal functionality. What I liked the most was that she consistently asked about the amount of pressure I preferred and maintained that pressure. I often find that RMTs do not get deep enough for my liking even when they are prompted. I am happy to recommend people to this massage therapy clinic. Thank you for great treatment.

Good. Nancy is awesome. :-) A little expensive, but worth it. Direct billing here just submits the claim for you; you still have to pay upfront.

Located in a nice cozy first-floor office, I had a great experience with Nancy. After asking the standard COVID screening questions, she went over which areas I wanted her to focus on and how the massage would benefit them. A mask was also provided and need to be worn at all times during the massage. The atmosphere was very relaxing, with instrumental music playing in the background and a hint of essential oil from a selection you can choose from. Nancy will do her best to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. During the massage, she will ask you how the pressure is and say when she is going to move your arms and legs. You can check all of the prices when booking online, but 30 minutes with Nancy was exactly $70 after tax. After the massage, you can either get a printed or emailed copy of the receipt for insurance purposes.

My first time going. Very clean and professional staff. She asked lots of questions to find out what sort of massage I was looking for. Did an amazing job, highly recommended. I will be a regular customer going forward.
