please pay it forward ✨
I’ve been fortunate to have close friends, coworkers, community & family to step in and offer support in times of struggle
: posts asks to support at risk individuals in our City,
: provides resources across the province for trans & q***r individuals
: rescues dogs internationally, through foster based care
my mother passed in September 2025, we had the same birthday, on her 38th birthday I showed up right on time 💁🏻‍♀️ & as she never failed to remind me: the nurses brought her a chocolate cupcake with a candle
my parents always made a point to support local
my practice is q***r inclusive, asks for you pronouns in the intake form, and we respect them, no questions asked
people deserve to feel seen, & appreciated, as they are
In December 2018, we saw a post from a foster to adopt program, featuring our senior dog Luna - she had been attacked in Greece, recovered, only to discover she had severe heartworm disease
with donations, and treatments, she again recovered, with only a few side effects (blindness)
I know there’s fancy donate buttons I could post in stories, but lets me honest Facebook & Instagram don’t need more engagement
the fact of the matter is these are three organizations put in the work & spread the love, they would grind to a halt without community
for these groups: every dollar counts
but sometimes, funds are tight
that’s okay!
go to their pages, interact with their communities, boost their posts, donate your time or attend to events
if your funds are free flowing: I will give a gift certificate for a 30 min therapeutic massage, for every $50 donated
(gift certificates have no cash value & cannot be reimbursed through insurance, proof of donation required)
It’s almost my birthday guys 🎂
can you help me spread some love? 🥰

Do I know what I did to my neck this morning? Nope.
But… ouch.
Maybe I slept funny, maybe it was the 27 chapters before bed sitting like a shrimp, maybe it’s the sudden chill in the air, or poor posture through six treatments
I’ve had whiplash three times in my life, so when I turn into a bobble head like this
(one of the above, plus whiplash) is my best guess as to why 🤷🏻‍♀️
All I know is I am grateful for KT tape & knowing how to apply it
That’s how I kept my head on my shoulders today 🙃

on your end, there’s still 8 weeks at a time available for online booking
reach out directly if you would like to book further in advance, to create a little massage routinelesperancermt starts april 1st, she is accepting new clients for TMJ related treatments, but not “regular” massage, that’s why you’ll see “(Dana)” next to certain options

A government response was recently received to the petition presented to parliament in November 2025 that requested HST/GST exemption for massage therapy in Canada.

The federal Minister of Finance, François-Philippe Champagne, indicated that the government understands that massage therapy is regulated in five provinces, and reiterated that HST/GST exemption is not automatic, and requires a formal application to the Minister of Finance.

Champagne confirmed that a formal request for exemption has been received and is currently being reviewed by the Ministry of Finance.

Review Minister Champagne's response: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=451-00271

We will be using this encouraging response to support our request for a follow-up meeting with Remi Gagnon, Policy Advisor for the Ministry of Finance. We met with him this summer and spoke about how HST exemption would improve healthcare access and ensure that massage therapy is aligned with other regulated health professions regulated in five provinces.

We look forward to providing further updates as this issue progresses.

An RMT in British Columbia recently created a new federal petition to gather further support for HST/GST exemption for massage therapy in Canada.

This petition is sponsored by MP Brad Vis, who has previously championed similar exemption petitions directed towards the previous federal government.

A related petition, recently presented in the House of Commons by Newfoundland MP Jonathan Rowe, has already mandated a government response. Every new petition presented with maximum signatures further amplifies our collective voice and compels the government to act on this crucial issue.

We strongly encourage all RMTs, massage therapy students, and members of the public to sign this petition before it expires on December 25, 2025: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6753
