FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I wear to an appointment?

• Ideally loose clothing or shorts and tank top. Sports bras are also useful. However, usually you will be un-clothed and under sheets. 

What do I need if I am having a sauna?

• Towels for sitting on, and a sweat towel will be provided but to cut down on laundry please bring your own shower towel as well as a water bottle. 

What is the difference between a spa technician/therapist vs. a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)?    

• Registered Massage Therapists are regulated by the College of Massage Therapists as well as by Health Canada. They have a minimum of 2,200hrs education; in Sonya Trevisi’s case she has 3,000hrs of education. RMT’s are also required to update their education on a regular basis as well as have first aid. None of this is required for spa technicians/therapists.
