If you have time, kindly read here and use your judgement whether or not I worth your hard-earned before booking with me.
I aim to be transparent, clean and clear, so you can make informed decision before exchanging with me.
I take the time to write all this in a hope that I do not have to spend more time and energy on talking, to answer the same questions, or same histories repeating itself on the phone, text, emails, or DM, year after years.
To give everyone opportunity and freedom to book online 24/7 at their fingertip whenever they can and need healing. So I do not have to answer a phone call during the treatment with client for appointment booking, or while I am driving on the road, or busy with other things, that I can just show up with my labor, knowledge and know how for a massage.
Basically, I do not talk, text, DM nor social mediating with any who. Trying to keep myself safe and away from unnecessary interactions, dramas, jealousy and insecure individuals. To offer peace and safety to everyone in my care including my clients and their family from collective online scammers, frauds, narcissistic traits, sociopaths, psychopaths, manipulators, fault accusation, flying monkeys, accidents, telemarketing and annoying email ads, as much as possible.
That If you are my returning clients. You will notice that I never email or text you or anyone for promotion, discount or publishing ads for my services since the beginning of this profession.
Except the website to provide necessary information about me and my services. To let people know what is Thai massage and its benefits, who I am, what I do, how I do it, why I do it and what for. So I do not have to talk too much during the massage unless you ask and want to exchange the story with me. I am a person who do not speak unless I am spoken to.
That I hope people will understand where I am coming from and take my stand in our society. If you know me, you will know I am not an arrogant, egotistic, overly confident, full of oneself person who operate with superiority complex. I do not think I know a lot, or more, or better than any one. I personally think, the more that I know the more I feel stupid that I know nothing and there are a lot more to learn. But I have to set firm boundaries for self-protection, safety, inner peace, truths, self-love and integrity practices. Because it took a lot of strength, investment, sacrifice and patient to get my self to this point. At lease since I moved to Canada in 2008, about 17 years I would say.
For safety concerns, we do not take appointments by telephone call, text, email, DM nor walk-in. We only take appointment by online booking here if you will.
We are not offering services you do not see nor can book on the booking page. Do not waste your time, energy and resources contacting me for prostate massage or sensual components during a treatment. We do not offer that here.
Surveillance cameras are installed both inside and outside the building for security and fault accusation from both sides, the client and therapist. To make sure everyone have that peace of mind, feeling safe and secure when they are in my space.
Any fault accusation, manipulations, fraudulent, exploitation, abusive behaviours, harassment and assault will be audio and video recorded on cameras, report, and file with the authorities without notice if necessary.
Please noted that a massage is not recommend for individuals with the following conditions.
Flu | Fever | Hypertension | Heart diseases | Contagious diseases | Skin diseases | Bone diseases | Cancer | Diabetes | Nausea | Open wound | High volume of blood lose or during heavy period | Stroke and blood clots history | Gallstones | Deep Vein Thrombosis | Liver failure | Fatty liver | Hemophilia | Severe Osteoporosis | Severe Platelet Deficiency | Autoimmune Flare-Ups | Meningitis | Cellulitis | Post‑Viral Fatigue Syndrome or Long Covid | Recent vaccination | Intoxications
Pregnancy massage in the first trimester and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) should exercise cautiously.
If you have serious medical conditions. Please bring a doctor's note or his/her recommendation letter for a massage with you. I do not wish to put anyone including myself and my family at risk on my table for money. Unless I see a recommendation letter from your doctor | specialist | professional healthcare provider that it is safe for you to get a massage under your medical conditions before we start the session.
Before scheduling an appointment, please check your insurance benefits and its limit per visit before booking. Some insurance company require a doctor's note for massage coverage while others do not.
The minimum time frame I offer is 45 minutes session, for people who want a treatment that involve several muscles, such as office syndrome, migraine, stiff neck and shoulders, biceps-triceps, tennis elbow, upper back, lower back, gluteus, sciatica, dead butt, IBS, femoral and groin pain, hamstring, quadriceps, calf, Achilles and foot pain which involve the origins and insertions of several muscles, left or right, or both sides of the body I need to address.
If you just want to relax, sleep and snore. I can do a relaxation massage to ease your stress, anxiety and depression within 45 minutes as well. You do not need to spend for a whole hour to activate receptors to release feel good hormones which are oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine and endorphin.
If you would like to claim insurance benefits. I suggest to book a 45 minute session. So you can claim the benefits under your insurance policy and its limit per visit, per year.
If you have no insurance limit per visit. Knowing health is wealth. Acknowledging that a good massage could do a lot for your longevity and good health both physical and mental. Wanting to treat your livelihood, mobility, anxiety, depression, pain free and good night sleep with respect and high regard. Then you can book 60 or 90 minutes session as often as you please.
To maintain balance bio-chemical and good mobility. I suggest to get a massage once every few months at the very least. Which I belief it is a lot cheaper to spend annually, compare to wasting money on toys, gadgets, external appearances and gifts to impress or get validated by others and passerby --- who do not even care how you feel, what's going on with you, or want to be there when you need healing and mental supports.
Family or not, we all know a lot of mental abuse and domestic violence happening behind the closed door every where in our society. How difficult and slow it is, to get healthcare treatment here.
If you had enough with long years of chronic pains, tightness, limited range of motion and ongoing sleepless nights due to past accidents and unconscious habits. I suggest to get treatment twice within a week if you want to get rid of that faster for better night sleep. But of course, that is not necessary if you do not want to spend for your own good rest and health.
If you have insurance benefits and need more than 45 minutes session. I suggest to book 2 visits of a 45 minute session. So you can claim the benefits under your insurance limit per visit, per year.
The payment app will generate an online receipt for your insurance claim once booked and paid. You can screenshot payment confirmation email, to claim your insurance benefits. My profile is already in the insurance system that you should not have any issue with your insurance claim.
THAI ORIGIN MASSAGE
2013 - PRESENT
You can book any treatment you see on the booking page as they are all the same price which go by minutes. I just need to know how much you're willing to pay for my time, knowledge, know-how, skillset and which area you would like me to focus on.
The online booking process will allow you to provide necessary information, keeping your records, helps saving some trees, time and energy, ensuring we can focus more on the manual / treatment.
Once booked. You will get appointment reminder by email and sms notification prior the physical visit to make sure you keep your ducks in a row, upon the limited time slots and energy I can offer each day without no show or excuses.
My receipt covered by health insurance with Sun Life | Canada Life | ManuLife | Blue Cross | Industrial Alliance | Bankers | Hydro Quebec | RCMP and many more. But not CAF (Canadian Arm Force) as their policy is different from most.
I do not do direct billing to insurance companies as I do not take more than 3 clients per day. I am a one woman operate. Do not wish to take more than I can chew each day. No plan to expand the business as it is very difficult to find honest, dedicate and trustworthy individuals who is align with my work ethics. So if you look for direct billing entity. I am not for you.
If you would like to get a treatment under CAF policy please find great RMT who can provide you insurance receipt under CAF criteria elsewhere.
You can get Thai massage treatment with my son; Albert, at his massage school's clinic --- Centre Orchidee --- for a student rate (cheaper), starting in Jan 2026 without insurance receipt until he got his diploma and licensed sometime in 2027.
Albert actually practicing Thai massage with me since he was 10 years old. I have been teaching Thai massage to both my sons --- the way I know how and practices, for a trade of 1$ per 1 minute rate. To motivate them to learn and practice on me when I need healing. In a hope that they could carry on Thai massage heritage in their hands, which I think is an extra skill to have, that they can use the know-how to take care their own family when needed healing.
As an oldie therapist myself on a receiver end from Albert for years. I can guarantee that Albert has a very strong hands and a very quick learner.
Since he started at very young age and energetic. He will potentially does better job than I am as he could easily gain 40-50 years of experiences in the field if he continue on this path until he retired.
Said, he loves to learn about human body so much that he could actually see himself being someone working in medical field if he ever change his mind. But he will not go there because he does not like working in a hospital setting, dealing with too many people and their mental fatigues. Said he found human body is very fascinating, fun to learn and is a very useful knowledge to waste his time studying, unlike high school level where he felt he wasted his 12 years on the system.
I have to tell him, growth take time and is not just about physical. You can be academy smart ass got doctorial degree. But if your psychological and spiritual development are not catching up with your brain. You will become a smart pants--spoiled brat, having internal battles and hard times, feeling not at ease with other people around you. That you could ended up creating a lot of turmoil in the society with god complex and huge ego, you belief to be true.
I do not wish you to be that kind of a person who ruin the majority of citizen because you think you know better, know more, done the most, that what you know and belief must be true, nobody can argue nor disobedient, everybody must conform and listen to what you have to say, yadiyada. We've seen narcistic traits in the news, social medias and on the streets. They are every where. Nope?
Give yourself sometime to get aging and psychological develop. Coin has two sides. It's all about balance. No hurry. Nobody need you as much as they need them
selves along their journey and aging. Believe me, it's more fun and more peaceful to be normal and stupid than otherwise.
Anyway, as a mother of 2 teenager boys, It's very rewarding to see the kids wanting to take on this heritage and passionate about their future endeavors at a very young age.
IF WE KNEW WHAT IT WAS WE WERE DOING
IT WOULD NOT BE CALLED RESEARCH, WOULD IT?
- ALBERT EINSTEIN -
I am NOT a magician. My practices are not a miracle approach where I can heal you in one single session from chronic pain and scar tissues you have kept within over the years. Though that is my wish and goal I am expecting and continue learning and working on it through many healing forces. That if I can heal chronic issue in one single session. My rate will not be this cheap for sure.
If you have chronic pain caused by accident for many years and have tried many approaches but nothing seems to work that you want to try alternative approach, looking for the fifth, sixth, or tenth opinion. Your issues might require more than few visits.
Just as a doctor prescribes medication to be taken regularly. Consistent effort and adjustments are necessary for lasting results.
During the session, try to take deep breaths, focus on your breathing or do a 5-15 minutes meditation, it will help fasten up the healing process. As we all know, the more oxygen in the system, the faster the healing. That is why doctors put oxygen mask on the nose after operation, to accelerate recovery process.
After the session done, drink more water, eat more fruits and veggies. Let your urinary and excretory system flushing out bodily waste for a few days. Let Growth hormone do their job during your night sleep before booking the next visit.
Do not spend carelessly by booking next appointment right after the visit. Money does not grow on trees, metaphorically.
I will not pursue you to book next appointment or selling you a course of 5-10 treatments, even though I know your body might need more works.
I will let you feel your internal beings for few days after each treatment. If you want to return then come here to book appointment whenever you can as you please.
I will let you decide whether you want to continue or stop. It's your call on how and where you want to spend your time, energy and resources to get nurture and sympatise.
I am not the one who feels your internal being and the healing happening inside of you. You're the one who feel all your feelings, and I think I should respect your feelings and a freedom to make that decision.
THE WHOLE SCIENCE IS NOTHING
MORE THAN A REFINEMENT OF EVERYDAY THINKING
- ALBERT EINSTEIN -
It is your willingness to get healed by medications and synthetic pills or go alternative approach such as Thai massage to improve your circulations, energy flow or 72% of your whole existence, and joint mobility that deal with the issue at its root causes.
My practice aims to nurture your flesh, reducing metabolic waste, improving your range of motions, for your pain relief and good night sleep.
It is a preventive approach and also a recovering procedure after major operations, for better movement, more blood flow and oxygen supply.
A practice which involves some good pain and discomfort you need to take. That there are also values, morals and awareness I bring to my table as a healer. That If you trade with me long enough you will know what gave me strength to keep going and why I am who I am today.
Though my approach can ease your pains and enhance circulations in your system, while triggering the receptors to produce more oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine and endorphin or feel good hormones.
I cannot guarantee long-term results without your change behaviors, lifestyle, bad postures, habits, and unhealthy living environments.
Like I said, I am not a magician. I cannot change your DNA imprinted, muscle memory, habits and living circumstances.
I can only try to nurture your scar tissues, deep wounds, stiffness, stress, fatigue, tensions build up from your past actions and unawareness, not the future ones.
Wishing you to have a better sleep without pain and good mobility. So you can take care of your dependants and loved ones, enjoying your lifespan with them.
So please do not expect me to massage you once, then expecting that the history will not repeat itself if you still function with the same old bad postures, habits, work conditions, intense physical activities, negative thought patterns, and stress which caused cortisol build up in your system that could lead to a serious illness over times.
If you book for issues related to pain, soreness, tightness, stiffness and mobility. Please understand that I may need to explain certain aspects of a treatment, including the techniques use, the muscles involved, so you understand why I do what I do and what benefits your body will get from my practices, or simply answer the questions you would like to know that I can answer or share under my knowledge as a massage therapist, not a doctor.
Healing is a very personal journey.
Each body reacts differently upon individual's lifestyle, experiences, knowledge, know-how, knowingly and unknowingly, aware or unaware, intuitively or not so.
Just like the food we eat. Some people prefer sweet taste while others like salty or sour, or both, or a mix of everything.
Like any aspect in life they said.
" There is no one size fits all "
" A friend to all is a friend to none "
I can only do something, not everything for everyone. I can only share what I know and have to offer. But I can not own your belonging nor take ownership over yours. If you know what I mean.
It is your call, where, when, why, how, and with whom you want to spend you time, energy and resources with for your personal experiences. It is not my place to judge nor convince.
To be good at what one does. Require knowledges and know-how.
To be skillful is not talented nor gifted. It's a practice and practices over times.
Like Bruce Lee once stated
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."
Being GREAT, not only require knowledge, know-how, and 10,000 practices. But being GREAT came from pressure over times, determination, focus, consistency, patient, growth mind-set, positive attitude, goals, vision, honesty, sacrifice, humility, gratitude, endurance, pains and sufferings beyond the norms and comfort zone ones could imagine.
It took over decade(s) of focus practices and non-stop learning, investments, determination, hardships, long term plan, pains and bruises in every corners and angles behind the screens and social media outlet to get myself to this point.
I do believe my honest intentions, work ethic, and perseverance speak for themselves now. That I believe I deserve more than what I ask for.
Hopefully my long years of healing skills could make you feel better and hopeful for your future endeavor.
There is free 90 minutes roadside parking in front of my studio and around the blocks, depending on availability.
Paid street parking is also available on Laval Street and surrounding area to the City of Gatineau or Ville de Gatineau which a bit busy during weekday. But I open on weekend as well which is easier for parking issue.
