Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what type of massage to choose?
This web site gives an explanation of several types of massage and their benefits. If you are still not sure which is best for you, please contact me to discuss your particular needs and determine which style is most appropriate for you.

What is covered by my extended health care plan?
Body Poets delivers only registered massage therapy services. Please check with your insurance provider concerning the details of your plan.

How long is a session, and what does it include?
Sessions vary in length from 45 minutes to 2 hours. A massage session includes consultation and assessment, which are essential to a successful treatment; the hands-on time spent working on your body; and home care suggestions when appropriate.

What should I do if I have to change or cancel my appointment?
Please call 613-222-0465 at least 24 hours before your start time to avoid paying the full fee for the session. If you miss your appointment without calling, you will be charged the full fee for the session.

Late arrivals will not be charged a fee, but the appointment will end at the scheduled time.

What if I’m late?
If you are late, call 613-222-0465 and come anyway. We should be able to accomplish some of your goals in the time remaining. You will be charged the full appointment fee, and we will finish at the scheduled time.

What do I wear?
For Thai massage, please wear layers of comfortable, stretchy clothes that you can move in easily. Long shorts or stretch pants are better than short shorts.

For other styles of massage, you will have privacy to undress to your level of comfort and to get on the table, under the covers, before the massage starts. Many clients prefer to undress completely, while some are more comfortable wearing underpants or some or all of their outer clothing. It is important for you to feel comfortable during the massage.

Do I give a tip?
No, thank you very much. While the thought is appreciated, tips are not expected or accepted at Body Poets Massage Therapy.

How do I pay?
Payment is by cash or by cheque (made out to Body Poets).
