Registered Massage in Toronto: What Goes on the RMT Receipt
We want to explain one detail about massage add-ons before you book, because it affects what appears on the receipt you submit to your benefits plan.
Registered massage therapy at Beauty Room in Liberty Village, Toronto comes with an RMT receipt. Most of what you can add to your session goes onto that receipt. One thing does not. Here is the full menu, the four add-ons, and exactly where that line sits.
Who You Are Booking With
Our registered massage therapist is Alexandra. She combines traditional massage techniques with a calm, grounded presence, and sessions are tailored to your comfort level, your goals, and the areas you want worked on most.
Alex is also trained in two specialisms that most massage menus do not carry. Facial and buccal massage for jaw tension, for people who hold stress in the face, neck and shoulders. And lymphatic massage, which addresses muscular tension, reduces fluid accumulation and supports circulation.
The Menu, by Length and Type
We offer three types of session, each with a set published price.
| Session | Length | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Registered Massage | 45 minutes | $100 |
| Registered Massage | 60 minutes | $120 |
| Registered Massage | 75 minutes | $160 |
| Registered Buccal Face Massage | 45 minutes | $135 |
| Registered Buccal Face Massage | 60 minutes | $160 |
| Registered Buccal and Body Massage | 75 minutes | $165 |
| Registered Lymphatic Drainage | 60 minutes | $190 |
| Registered Lymphatic Drainage | 90 minutes | $240 |
| Registered Buccal and Lymphatic Drainage | 75 minutes | $210 |
The 75-minute buccal and body session at $165 is easy to overlook. It is five dollars more than the 60-minute buccal face session and gives you the body work as well, so we recommend comparing the two if you are choosing between them.
The Four Massage Add-Ons
Each of these attaches to any session. Three of them appear on your RMT receipt, and the fourth does not.
Hot stone, plus $20
Heated stones worked into the massage for gentle, penetrating warmth. It can help the muscles relax more deeply and adds to the feeling of comfort through the session. Included in the RMT receipt.
Face and scalp massage, plus $40
Focused work on the muscles of the face, jaw and scalp, which may help ease tightness around the jawline and cheeks. It may include intraoral work, with your consent, and finishes with gentle neck stretches and a skincare-focused finish. Included in the RMT receipt.
LED light therapy, plus $45
Celluma LED uses low-level light energy to support skin health and general tissue recovery. It is non-invasive and comfortable, and it is there for when you want a skin-focused element alongside the massage. Included in the RMT receipt.
Skin upgrade, plus $65
Alex is also a trained skincare therapist, so this adds a mini facial to your massage using our medical-grade skincare: gentle exfoliation, targeted extractions if needed, a mask, and finishing products. This one is classed as a wellness and skin add-on, and it is not included on the RMT receipt.
What Goes on the RMT Receipt
THE ADD-ON THAT SITS OUTSIDE THE RECEIPT
Every registered massage treatment Alex provides is eligible for an RMT receipt, which you can submit to your extended health benefits provider if your plan includes massage therapy. Relaxation, therapeutic, hot stone, LED light therapy and facial or buccal massage can all be included on it.
Coverage varies by provider and by plan, so we recommend checking your benefits before you plan your session. We will always make sure you leave with your RMT receipt.
What Happens in the Room
The three parts
Intake and consultation
A short conversation about your health history, your comfort level and the areas you want focused on.
The treatment
Time on the table, with draping and ongoing communication so you feel safe and comfortable throughout.
Wrap-up
Self-care suggestions, stretches or home-care recommendations, tailored to what you need.
Common questions
About clothing
Most Swedish and hot stone work is done directly on the skin with professional draping. If you would rather stay partially or fully clothed, Alex adjusts her techniques.
About buccal work
Buccal refers to the buccinator muscle in the cheek. The work is inside and outside the mouth, always with gloves, always with consent, always within your comfort level.
If you want the detail
We have written a separate piece on gua sha against registered buccal massage that goes further into that comparison.
Facial Massage and Active Acne
We want your treatment to suit what your skin needs that week. If you have active, inflamed or cystic acne, an advanced facial focused on calming the skin is usually the better first step.
This is because increased circulation and massage oils can sometimes aggravate active breakouts. Let us know what your skin is doing at booking and we will guide you to whichever of the two makes sense that week.
Our Liberty Village Studio
We are on Atlantic Avenue, in the heart of Liberty Village, in a calm boutique setting. You will find us at 17 Atlantic Ave. Unit 2, Toronto, ON M6K 3E7, a short walk from King West and Queen West, with clients coming from Parkdale, Fort York and downtown Toronto. Call or text 416-889-9948 if you would rather ask a question before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my insurance pay for this?
Coverage varies by provider and by plan, so we recommend confirming the details of your own benefits. Every registered massage treatment Alex provides is eligible for an RMT receipt to submit to your extended health benefits provider.
Which add-ons appear on the receipt?
Hot stone, LED light therapy and facial or buccal massage can be included, alongside relaxation and therapeutic work. The skin upgrade is the exception: it is a wellness and skin add-on and does not go on the RMT receipt.
Do I have to undress?
Most Swedish and hot stone massages are done directly on the skin with professional draping for privacy and comfort. If you prefer to stay partially or fully clothed, say so at intake and Alex adjusts her techniques accordingly.
I have breakouts right now. Should I book facial massage?
If the acne is active, inflamed or cystic, a calming advanced facial is usually the better starting point, because circulation and massage oils can aggravate active breakouts. Mention it at booking and we will help you pick.
What is the difference between lymphatic and regular massage here?
Lymphatic drainage is a separate registered service on our menu, priced separately, and it addresses muscular tension, fluid accumulation and circulation. It runs 60 or 90 minutes, or 75 minutes combined with buccal work.
