Add-ons to Holistic Massage
The following treatments can be incorporated in your massage. Please talk to your practitioner during your treatment to include them.
Hot Stones
Hot stone massage is a therapeutic technique that uses heated stones placed on the body to promote relaxation and relieve muscle tension. The heat from the stones helps to relax muscles and improve blood circulation. This type of massage can help reduce stress, ease chronic pain, and enhance overall well-being. It is important to note that hot stone massage may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions or sensitivities to heat.
Lymphatic Touch
The Lymphatic Touch technique is a gentle and therapeutic massage technique that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system to encourage lymph flow and drainage. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the body's immune response and helps remove toxins, waste, and excess fluid from the tissues.
Gentle pressure and rhythmic movements are applied to specific areas of the body, such as the neck, armpits, abdomen, and limbs. The aim is to improve lymph circulation, reduce swelling, boost immune function, and promote detoxification. The Lymphatic Touch technique can be beneficial for individuals with lymphedema, post-surgery swelling, autoimmune conditions, and those looking to support their overall health and well-being.

Body Polish and Massage
A body polish is a spa treatment that involves exfoliating and hydrating the skin to leave it feeling smooth, soft, and refreshed. During a body polish, a therapist will use a combination of gentle exfoliating agents mixed with oils or creams to scrub away dead skin cells and impurities. This process helps to improve circulation, stimulate the lymphatic system, and promote cell renewal. After the exfoliation, a moisturizing treatment is applied to hydrate and nourish the skin. The result is a renewed and glowing complexion. A body polish is a great way to rejuvenate the skin and improve its overall texture and appearance.

How does massage with Lindy differ from seeing an RMT?
Lindy takes a holistic approach to health and wellness by considering your physical, emotional and mental well-being. Lindy’s specific skill set, along with her previous experience with integrative counselling enables Lindy to facilitate a deeper connection with you to support you during your treatment. This allows Lindy to offer a personalized and unique therapeutic experience.
Can I have a massage without discussing my mental and/or emotional health?
Yes! Absolutely. Lindy will discuss your treatment goals with you at the beginning of every session.
Can I claim this on my insurance?
Unfortunately, no. Insurance companies have limitations on what can/can’t be claimed, alongside other requirements (ie: a doctors note referring for physiotherapy, massage, etc.). It’s rare that an insurance company offers coverage for massage offered by someone who isn’t an RMT.
If you’re curious about what is/isn’t covered under your unique benefits plan, please contact your benefits representative at your place of employment to learn more.
How often should I get a massage?
We recommend getting a massage as often as you feel necessary. Some people benefit from regular sessions, while others prefer occasional treatments for specific needs.
Is massage suitable for everyone?
Massage is generally safe for most people. However, if you have any underlying health conditions or concerns, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before booking a massage.
What should I wear during a massage?
You can undress to your comfort level. Our therapists are trained to ensure your privacy and will drape you with a sheet or towel during the massage.
Can I request a specific massage technique or pressure?
Absolutely! Our therapists are skilled in a variety of techniques and can customize the massage to your preferences. Please communicate your needs and preferences during the session.
