I met Registered Massage Therapist, Melanie Ransum, at VegFest 2013-- a festival with…read morevegetarian/vegan vendors and such. She told me about her location and mentioned her use of 100% vegan products in her massage practise. I recently had an injury with my back and so called her the following day for an appointment, that we scheduled later in the day. Her home and office is located just off the 417 on Maitland Avenue. It was very easy to find. I entered her office around the back, and I can say that her space is very clean, calming, quiet, sanitary, and neat. I filled out a medical history form and detailed my injury to her. Her massage table was extraordinarily comfortable and she had a heating pad that she placed over my legs, which felt divine! What I particularly liked about the massage was the way in which Melanie communicated with me through out the hour, checking in every so often to be sure I was getting the most out of the experience. When the massage was complete, she showed me how to do some stretches that would be compatible with my injury. She is a very sweet and professional person who really takes care in her practise and loves what she does. I would most definitely revisit Melanie and I would strongly recommend her if you are looking for some relaxation or healing. Her prices are VERY reasonable for the services she provides.

I went in for a deep tissue / Swedish massage. Melanie was very accommodating and was able to get…read moreme an appointment the same day. Her home is right on Maitland ave, and there is parking on the driveway. Her main office is in the basement of the house. The room and table were very clean. She had some great relaxation music on. The massage itself was really good. She constantly kept checking with me if the pressure was fine throughout the session. She used a heating pad for the legs while she was working the upper body, which felt amazing. I believe she used sunflower oil/cream for the massage. Overall, Melanie is a great therapist. I will definitely go back to her.

This is a quaint place to go for a no nonsense, straight up massage or aesthetic procedure. The private room was warm, clean and spacious and the price is right!

I have seen Blanche for several months now and she is simply one of the best RMT in Ottawa. Before…read morethe initial treatment, she conducted a thorough analysis of my body and she discovered things about my spine that I never knew as no other massage therapist ever told me. Her technique is excellent - it can be painful as she works through restrictions and knots, but I feel better for weeks afterwards. She was able to relieve my symptoms of chronic back tension after a single session. I feel extremely relaxed and happy after seeing her, like a different person)) She also takes clients on weekends, which is a big plus for me! I cannot recommend her strongly enough.

I was only in Ottawa for a limited time and wanted a great massage. However, I read a lot of…read morereviews that were less than favorable about a lot of places in town. Then I found this place and all the reviews were great, which made me a little suspicious. However, I discovered that these reviews for here were true. This is a no games, no funny-business place. Anna was my masseuse and did a fantastic job. She was not only respectful and professional but her technique was incredible. This was the best massage I've had in a long time. Additionally, the receptionist was sweet and friendly, and the place was very clean. I will definitely return if I'm ever in Ottawa. Enjoy!

The treatment have showers so you can take a quick rinse after your massage which is great so we don't feel "oily" afterwards.

I recently booked a 60 minute massage at Relax Massage Therapy at 504 Kent Street. The booking…read moreprocess was pretty seamless and straightforward online - they even have the ability to set up direct billing to your insurance company with a few details entered in their online appointment system. Not knowing any of the massage therapists, I simply chose one at random and lucked out with Marcus Kelly, a recent graduate. He was kind, professional, and had that easy Maritime way with conversation. We consulted on some stiffness in my neck and shoulders and he set to work. I had a wonderful experience and emerged feeling lighter and more flexible. He also gave me good tips about my posture. One thing he mentioned - a pro tip, if you will - is that if you book a massage with him at the Westin (the same company operates both sites), you get access to the pool and the gym also! Will definitely look into that for next time!

Ingrid was not very nice to me at all. I had booked a full body massage with her via email. After I…read moregot there, she made me wait outside for 20 minutes to give her current client more time. When I finally got in, she made me undress and lay on the table for about 10 minutes while she disappeared to go eat lunch. When she finally got back after using up 10 minutes of my paid hour, she informed me that she did not do full body massages. I reminded her about her agreement with me in writing via email, but she flat out refused. After refusing to give me the massage, she explained that she only works with people in pain in specific areas and does not do full body rubdowns. She began doing all sorts of treatments on me to avoid massaging me. There were suctions cups all over my back, when I got home I was badly bruised. She pocked and prodded me, pinched me. She would do this and watch the expression on my face in delight. Ingrid has a really good reputation, but many of the reviews are from friends and family, they are not honest reviews, she can be very devious. She explained to me in her own words that she does not do massages, even after agreeing to it prior to the appointment. She keeps saying how great a masseuse she is, and this means she doesn't have to give massages. I could hardly believe my ears when I was laying there on her table and she was refusing to massage me. She still charged me, but I never got a massage, instead she argued with me insistently, insulted me, told me I didn't know what I wanted, I should want something else, then she told me repeatedly that I should go somewhere else, then she tried to insinuate that I was not getting along with people. This person is down right nasty. Don't waste your money, this woman is not interested in giving massages, which is down right weird for a masseuse. She was very arrogant because according to her she knows what you need and she's not interested in what you want, even if it is just a massage. She's a bully, rude, insulting, and disrespectful. All I got was a bunch of treatments I didn't ask for and I didn't want. I just wanted a massage, but she would not give me one. How strange is that. Don't waste your money, the other reviews on Google are not honest, they are from her friends and family
