Massage therapy has traditionally focused on relieving muscle tension and promoting relaxation. However, emerging research and clinical experience highlight the importance of targeting the fascia—an often-overlooked connective tissue that plays a crucial role in the body’s overall function and m...

Client Communication: Booking Policy & Training Updates

My MOT Program start date is October 10th. My first on-campus seminar is an Orientation Module, happening mid-October!

During my first seminar, there will be an introduction to Manual Osteopathic Therapy (history & philosophy), learning the five models of structure and function (Anatomical, Neurological, Vascular, Lymphatic, Biomechanical). I will also be diving into psychosocial determinants of health, medicolegal issues, and marketing skills. I anticipate online exams and homework that will be due shortly after the first seminar.

Since my schedule is now fully booked until October 20th (after my first seminar), it is now time to place a pause on new bookings in order to adjust to my upcoming student workload, as gracefully as I am able.

Effective September 8th, I am pausing all new/future bookings.

Existing November/December bookings will remain as scheduled. If changes are necessary, I will contact you directly.

New clients: I am not accepting new clients at this time.

Returning clients: Will be placed on a temporary waitlist. Unfortunately, instead of a booking confirmation, for the time being, you will receive a waitlist notification for the following 4-6 weeks. Existing clients may edit & email the waitlist request form attached to this post.

Booking Policy (Update September 2025)

My schedule will open one month at a time, aligning with each module’s learning objectives. For example: November–December we are learning Osteoarticulations. With your consent, I will be including more structural & functional assessments into my client treatments. Treatment time may be extended so I am able to practice new advanced techniques (at no extra cost).

My general hours of availability will remain the same (9:00 AM–2:30 PM Monday to Friday) To achieve my work placement/practicum hours, I plan to integrate MOT practices within my existing RMT practice 4 days per week, leaving one day for business administrative and student duties (this day may vary week to week depending on my level of organization, and some weeks I may only practice 3 days.)

Waitlisted clients receive first access to newly released appointment times. Your best chance at getting an appointment is to remain on this waitlist.

FAQ

Q: Can I still book in advance for later this year?
A: Not at this time. I’ll only release one month of bookings at a time.

Q: What if I already have an appointment in November/December?
A: Your booking stands unless I contact you to reschedule.

Q: How do I get on the waitlist?
A: Email me at kbyersrmt@gmail.com or request in-clinic after your session. Please include all information found on the waitlist request form.

Q: When will I hear back if a spot opens?
A: Waitlist clients will be contacted as soon as openings come up.

Q: How will I know when the next month’s schedule opens?
A: After each seminar, clients on my waitlist will be notified of new/open appointment times for the following month. After clients on the waitlist have been scheduled in, if there is booking availability, I will send out an update & take new appointment requests online.

Many of you are asking how I am doing. As a student, I am SO excited. As a business & private practice owner, I am feeling nervous about this new transition. Continually adjusting my booking policies, setting new expectations and having to place stronger boundaries is sometimes hard, but so so necessary for success. These updates will help me balance my student requirements, while still keeping focus on continuing to offer the care that you have all grown to love & appreciate.

Thank you so much to each & everyone of you for your continued support as I take on these new challenges month to month, week to week, day to day!

Let the rewarding work begin,

Kelsey

Client Communication: Booking Updates & Membership Changes

Online booking is temporarily deactivated as I begin preparing for my upcoming studies in Manual Osteopathic Therapy.

At this time, I’m booking into September for returning and regular clients. My availability will remain limited as I ease into this next chapter. I won’t know my ongoing academic workload until after my first in-person module in October.

To fill open appointment spaces, I’ll be using my waitlist. If you’d like to book this Fall, please submit your availability through my online booking link, and I’ll reach out as openings arise! Thank you so much for your patience during this transition!

In the meantime, August and September will be focused on foundational learning—covering the nervous, lymphatic, fascial, and circulatory system review, cranial nerves, dermatomes, myotomes, orthopedic assessments, assigned textbook readings and early practicum prep.

With these changes, I’ve made the difficult decision to pause on offering Monthly Massage/MFR Memberships for remainder of 2025. As I shift more hours towards studying and review sessions, I need to prioritize flexibility in my schedule. Only clients who purchased existing 12-month memberships will be eligible for their guaranteed appointments through to December 2025. Thank you to those who purchased my 6-month membership. It was so nice to contribute to your wellbeing on a regular & maintained routine!

I’m so grateful for your continued support as I navigate the balance between business, motherhood, sharing roles/responsibilities, and college learning objectives. This new chapter has already sparked curiousity (especially from the kids!). We’ve been fitting it all in & exploring how the body works together- at home and while camping on summer break 🥰

Over the past two years, I've worked very hard to rebuild my Registered Massage Therapy & Myofascial Release practice in Moose Jaw, and now it is time to elevate my career.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. I am looking forward to continuing to grow my knowledge & expand my services offering osteopathic care.

Here’s to a new chapter, long study nights, and more ways to continue helping you all.

With gratitude,

Kelsey

Got benefits? Direct Billing is now available!

I am hoping to submit at least 10 insurance claims within the next two weeks in exchange for any feedback to ensure a positive experience.

If you have an appointment between June 4th-June 18th and want to help test this new business feature by submitting an insurance claim via direct billing through my clinic software system, please contact me to get set up!

Thanks,

Kels

Welcome back to my page! I haven’t posted in a while! You all have been keeping me very busy + we snuck away for a family vacation during the Easter break. 🤠

My June calendar is fully booked. I have 2 elementary-aged children and spending time with them this summer while they are on break is my greatest luxury!! July and August hours have been changed to limited evening/weekends. Spots are filling up fast with returning clients grabbing those sessions in clinic post-therapy.

Thank you for your understanding!

If you wish, you can head to my website and place your name on the waitlist. Once I have my August calendar fully ready, I will be selecting clients from my waitlist to fill available appointment spaces (if they do not fill up with subsequent treatments this month and next.) 🙂

In September I will be back to working regular hours, Monday to Friday 8:30-2:30pm. “Waitlisted” clients will have first dibs for an appointment! 🥰

Im planning on offering another round of Monthly Memberships since that option sold out in minutes!! That will be coming available to apply for in July. Stay tuned for more details 🥰

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Busy and booked 🔥

To answer a frequently asked question, I will not be opening up my online schedule for March, April, and likely May.

March is fully booked, and in April, we have planned a family vacation, which limits my availability. This pushes many rebookings into May, and I am unable to guarantee appointment times that far in advance without assessing the needs of my March clientele first.

Thank you for your high rebooking rate. I understand that it may be frustrating to schedule an appointment, but I appreciate your patience and consideration for my need to maintain a balanced life in order to provide better service.
