If performed by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), it may be reimbursed under extended health benefits. We provide receipts via email and can direct bill most insurance plans. 

As Registered Massage Therapists both having over a decade of experience we are trained to provide safe and effective massage therapy in a Palliative Care setting.  In addition to our  base training, we have pursued specific palliative and end-of-life care to deepen our support in this area.

Palliative massage is available in a hospital or hospice setting within Squamish. Home visits are possible upon request and with a prior phone meeting.
