Home visit massage TorontoHome visit massage in Cabbagetown
Cabbagetown's Victorian houses are lovely to live in and hard work to keep up with: stairs between every floor, a front garden that always wants something, and sometimes a person in the house who finds those stairs harder than they used to.
That's often when a home visit makes the most sense. If getting down the front steps and across the city is a project in itself (after surgery, with a sore knee, or for a parent who lives with you), I bring the session to you instead. Nobody needs a ride anywhere, and if two of you would like a massage, I can see you one after the other. I group home visits by neighbourhood, so a Cabbagetown visit slots into a day I'm already spending in the area.

Getting set up
My setup is made for houses like these. The table folds and carries easily up a narrow staircase, so a bedroom on the second or third floor works as well as the front room, and I only need about a coffee table's worth of floor, roughly 5 by 7 feet. It goes up in a few minutes: a table with 12 inches of memory foam, soft cotton sheets, music, and aromatherapy if you'd like it. Once the session's over, it folds back down just as fast.

*Other days can sometimes be arranged. Ask, and I'll fit you in around my clinic schedule where I can.
When you book, please send me parking instructions: where I can park or unload the table. I'll follow them on the day.
I offer direct billing with most insurance providers, or I can give you an RMT receipt to submit yourself.
