Welcome to Our Booking Site!

When You Arrive Please come inside and head upstairs. You’ll find a cozy waiting area around the corner and at the end of the hallway.

Cancellation Policy By booking an appointment, you agree to our 24-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel or reschedule with less than 24 hours’ notice—for any reason—you will be charged the full cost of your appointment. A missed or late cancellation leaves an unfilled gap in your therapist’s schedule. If the spot gets filled, there is no charge.

If you booked your appointment within 24 hours, it’s considered confirmed, and the policy applies if you need to cancel or reschedule.

If you arrive late, you’ll receive the remaining time in your session, and billed for the original booking. If you’re more than 5 minutes late, your therapist will text or call. If we haven’t heard from you after 15 minutes and it’s their last appointment of the day, they may leave.

Emergencies will be handled personally, but schedule conflicts are not considered emergencies.

Thank you for respecting our time and supporting our therapists.

For questions, email us at info@rmtstudio.com.

Direct Billing We offer direct billing to most major insurance companies. If your provider isn’t listed on the intake form, we do not bill them directly—please don’t select an alternate company. Note: We do not direct bill to Sun Life, Green Shield, or Blue Cross. We do our best to offer this service, but we cannot guarantee your claim will be approved. Clients are responsible for all treatment and cancellation fees.

*AN RMT RECEIPT WILL BE PROVIDED

This treatment includes massage to the chest, neck, face, jaw and scalp, and is designed to reduce pain and discomfort of Temporal-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) dysfunctions caused by teeth grinding, clenching and traumatic injury. It incorporates manual lymphatic drainage, myofascial techniques and intraoral (inside the mouth) massage to target muscles of facial expression and mastication(chewing). It’s also a great choice for those who experience chronic headaches, neck pain or anyone looking for relaxation.


Massage + Cupping RMT

*AN RMT RECEIPT WILL BE PROVIDED

Cupping therapy is similar to massage in its effects, but where massage involves downward pressure, cupping uses negative pressure to pull tissues upward. The suction created encourages an increase in local blood flow, reduction in muscular tension, and contributes to an overall feeling of relaxation.

*AN RMT RECEIPT WILL BE PROVIDED

Contemporary medical acupuncture is a modality that incorporates principles and techniques from traditional Chinese medicine but is applied through the lens of modern Western medicine. This approach is often referred to as "neuroanatomical acupuncture” as acupuncture points are based on the location of nerves, muscles, and connective tissues. It works to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, promote relaxation, and stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms.


Stretch Therapy RMT

*AN RMT RECEIPT WILL BE PROVIDED

Stretch Therapy is table-based assisted stretching which focuses on connective tissue, muscles and joints. Your therapist will use gentle traction, PNF (a type of active stretching) and breath-work to encourage your nervous system to let go of tension that may be causing restrictions. It's great for recovery, improving mobility, and alleviating pain.

Her goal is to create a welcoming, judgment free environment that leaves you feeling grounded, restored and more connected and comfortable in your body.

Hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, gentle stretching and rhythmic movements are often utilized.

Approach to Treatment: Josh is an assessment-minded Massage Therapist who creates change through postural realignment, refining muscular balance, retraining old scars and injuries, improving basic function and movement patterns.

Approach to Treatment: Whether you’re here for massage or TCM Acupuncture, Aymen’s treatment begins with a thorough discussion of goals and is followed by either an orthopedic and palpation-based assessment or tongue and pulse diagnosis, which is standard in TCM.

His treatments start with gentle compressions to assess overall structure, movement, and fluidity, and will gradually increase pressure to address areas of tension and pain, guiding the muscles toward relaxation. His approach to massage draws on his knowledge of acupuncture where he identifies and works to release energy stagnation along the meridians, helping to restore balance and ease. An acupuncture session with Aymen may include massage and/or cupping, combined with gentle, pain free needling techniques.

Listening to each client’s needs and adjusting treatments accordingly is central to Aymen’s approach. His knowledge of multiple modalities allows him to create a unique and personalized treatment experience. Aymen’s techniques are synchronized with your breathing making his treatments naturally calm and not too chatty.

  • Anyone suffering from musculoskeletal chronic or acute pain

Natural Pressure: Moderate | Firm

Style: Slow | Intentional | Focused

Approach to Treatment: Marguerite views the patient with a biopsychosocial lens, encompassing areas within that may impact the patient’s chief complaint. She uses a pressure that is most comfortable for the patient, but in general the movements are slow and deliberate. Ensuring the patient’s comfort and safety is most important. Assessment may take place prior to treatment, or during, depending on the presentation/needs.

Since becoming an RMT in 2013, she believes that Massage Therapy has an integral impact on our nervous system, shifting it from a state of sympathetic (fight/flight) to parasympathetic (rest/digest). Exploring the impact of the nervous system is the key bedrock for which dysfunction in the body occurs leading to pain and reduced mobility.

Who should book with Marguerite?

  • Endurance Athletes (Runners, swimmers, cyclists, triathletes)
  • Lymphedema management (Post Cancer treatment, post orthopedic surgery, acute/chronic injuries)
  • Tension/stress (headache, migraine, heightened sympathetic nervous system state, GI concerns)
  • Treatments provide relief of pain, improve mobility and allow the body to heal

Additional Training:

  • Dr. Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage Level 1-3
  • Dr. Vodder Certified Lymphedema Therapist
  • Reflexology
  • Indian Head Massage
  • Reiki
