I am super happy to announce that I will be offering Therapy as an additional treatment in 2026!

For those who don't know the benefits of Ultrasound Therapy:

Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to help speed up healing, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation in soft tissues by boosting blood flow, increasing cell metabolism, and rearranging scar tissue fibers - making it great for injuries like tendonitis, bursitis, and arthritis, offering a non-invasive way to relieve chronic pain and improve tissue repair.

Key Benefits of Ultrasound Therapy:

Pain Relief: Reduces pain by decreasing muscle spasms and inflammation.

Faster Healing: Accelerates the body's natural healing process for injured tissues, improving the quality of repair.

Reduces Inflammation & Swelling: Helps decrease swelling in sore or injured areas.

Improved Circulation: The heat and vibrations increase blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues.

Realignment of Scar Tissue fibers: Helps to reduce scar tissue that limits mobility and flexibility.

Relaxes Tight Muscles: Thermal effects can loosen tight muscles and tendons, allowing for easier stretching.

Common Conditions Treated:
Tendonitis, Bursitis, Plantar Fasciitis, Arthritis, Sports Injuries, Muscle Spasms, and Chronic Pain.

This can be a stand alone treatment or in conjunction with a Massage therapy treatment! Looking forward to another tool to help you all feel your absolute best!!! ♥️

This week, a Private Member's Bill supporting HST exemption for Ontario RMTs was introduced, a direct result of RMTAO advocacy and member efforts this past year, notably at our October 2025 Queen's Park Day.

MPP France Gélinas, the NDP Health Critic, introduced the Massage Therapy Tax Act, 2025. Under this Act, the Minister of Health is mandated to take every necessary measure, including introducing legislation, to bring the tax treatment of massage therapy services provided by Ontario RMTs into alignment with the tax treatment of services provided by other practitioners.

The Bill has already passed its first reading, marking an exciting first step. While additional readings are required for it to proceed, this early success is an important step forward, thanks to our advocacy efforts.

To increase support for the Bill as it goes through the legislative process, MPP Gélinas has created a petition to support the removal of HST from massage therapy services. We encourage you to sign this petition and share it widely with your networks to support the Bill's success.

Sign the petition: https://francegelinas.ca/remove-the-hst-from-massage-therapy-services-retirez-la-tvh-des-services-de-massotherapeutes/

MPP Gélinas also shared a press release today to increase awareness of and support for this issue. This would be a great resource to share to help spread the word.

Share the press release: https://www.ontariondp.ca/news/mpp-g-linas-calls-hst-be-removed-treatments-delivered-registered-massage-therapists

This is an important and encouraging step in our efforts towards HST exemption. This was made possible due to the support of members who have continued to bring this issue forward, as well as the culmination of continuous advocacy efforts by the RMTAO.

We will provide you with updates as soon as they become available.

I am humbled to say that I've started on the path of becoming a End of Life Doula in combination with the work that I do as a Massage therapist.

It is an honor to hold space and work together with those who are going through grief over loss, or who are preparing for their own time and how best to transition.

I will keep you all posted on this amazing journey. ❤️

Hi everyone,

I'm writing this to update everyone on a few upcoming changes.

Due some updates in my health, I will be taking a work hiatus for a bit to recover. Due to this I will be leaving PranaShanti on May 9th.

I have been grateful for the time spent with them over the years, and look forward to new opportunities after my recovery.

Going forward in June, I will be setting up a Jane account for clients to book in treatments after my recovery.

For more details or any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me at: a.easterbrook.rmt@gmail.com

Thank you all for your understanding and support and I look forward to seeing you all again in June ❤️
