My review is solely on my experience of massage therapy.
I had a massage with Candice and as per The Health Loft Website:
Candice's style is set to a slow pace, methodical and meticulous, she like to work deep and precise. Her most influential teacher comes to her from Thailand and it's this style that she resonates with most. Doing over two hundred and fifty hours of training in Thailand and India she uses prolonged acupressure and stretching to open up specific energy lines in the body. Also trained in Reiki levels 1 and 2 she incorporates these techniques within all her treatments.
The Health Loft is located on Stewart St. just a few minutes walk from King and Bathurst. It is an all women's clinic and along with massage therapy they offer acupuncture, chiropractic services and orthotics. Upon entering I received a friendly greeting and smelled a scent that was reminiscent to minty chocolate.
You can schedule your appointments online through their website and for your first visit they will send you forms to complete ahead of time and bring to your appointment or email back to them. In the event that you forget to do so (like I did) you should arrive about 10 mins early to complete the forms.
After I completed the forms I was escorted by my massage therapist to the therapy room and had a brief discussion of what areas I wanted worked on and the amount of pressure I prefer.
This was by far the best massage I've had in recent memory and have already scheduled my next couple of visits! If you are a woman that lives in the neighbourhood I would recommend checking it out. The massage therapists are registered RMTs so you can submit your claims to insurance if you have coverage.
