Direct billing
We submit your claim directly to the insurers below, so most patients only pay the portion their plan doesn’t cover. Don’t see yours on the list? Contact us — some plans we can still bill, and it’s worth a quick check before your visit. Bring your policy details to your first appointment and we’ll set it up.
ICBC patients
We treat ICBC patients, but we don’t direct-bill ICBC. You’ll pay at your appointment and send the receipt to ICBC yourself for reimbursement. How the funded sessions work — the pre-approved count, the 12-week window, what to bring — is laid out on our ICBC massage therapy page.
We do not take WorkSafeBC claims. For the full picture of who pays for massage therapy in BC — MSP, ICBC, WorkSafeBC and extended health — see massage therapy coverage in BC.

Cancellation policy
We hold your appointment time for you alone, so we ask for 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or move it. That window gives us a fair chance to offer the spot to someone else who’s waiting.
Cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, or miss the appointment outright, and the full session fee applies. If something genuinely urgent comes up, call us — we’d rather hear from you than guess.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, for most insurers listed above. The most common plans we direct-bill include Pacific Blue Cross, Chambers of Commerce, Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life (Great West Life), Equitable Life, Green Shield, GroupHEALTH, SSQ, The Co-Operators and Desjardins.

It depends on your comfort level, the area being treated and the techniques being used. For treatments that involve benchwork, stretching and active components, a sports bra or tank top and shorts is worn. For relaxation or deeper tissue work, clothes may be recommended to be removed — but this is always at your comfort level and can be discussed with your therapist at any point.
We require 24 hours’ notice for all cancellations or appointment changes. Patients who provide less than 24 hours’ notice, or who miss their appointment, will be charged the full cost of the session.
We accept cash, e-transfer, debit, Visa, Mastercard and AMEX.
A registered massage therapy treatment includes: discussion about the area of concern or condition, assessment of the area or condition, hands-on treatment, re-assessment, and home-care guidance such as exercises, stretches and hydrotherapy recommendations.
It depends on your reason for visiting. For certain injuries, more frequent sessions scheduled closer together can be beneficial. For stress and tension reduction, many patients visit on a bi-weekly or monthly basis. Your RMT can recommend a frequency at the end of each session based on how your body responds.
Book at least 60 minutes for a first visit. Your therapist needs room to take a proper history, assess how you move and still deliver a full treatment, and an hour covers all three without rushing. The 30- and 45-minute sessions work better as follow-ups focused on one area, like jaw work.
