Student Massage Therapy Clinic
Our public clinic allows Georgian Massage Therapy students the opportunity to provide services while developing their skills at the appropriate level in their learning, under the supervision of Registered Massage Therapists.
Students also make referrals as necessary and practise all of the learned components and applications of the program, including the development of individualized treatment plans.
Georgian Health and Wellness clinics operate in partnership with each other. When you seek care at our clinic, your information will be stored on a common database and certain health information will be shared with the other professionals within the partnership.
If you have questions or concerns about what information will be shared, please contact us.

Yes. Gift certificates are available to purchase from one of the customer service representatives at the reception desk.
As this is a learning environment, we do not accept tips; however, students are able to accept your written comments and feedback and we welcome referrals.
In accordance with health and safety standards, we ask that clients refrain from bringing food and drinks into the clinical space.
Students need time to develop their clinical skills. Missed appointments and last-minute cancellations affect the success of our students who are trying to meet their learning requirements. Therefore, we ask that you make the commitment of time and patience. We require 24 hours of notice for appointment cancellations. If you miss multiple appointments, we will remove you from our patient list.

Students and staff are committed to ensuring the Massage Therapy Clinic is a scent aware zone to the best of our ability. Students and staff are discouraged from using perfumes, colognes and other scented products.
In accordance with privacy regulations, the use of any cell phone/electronic devices is prohibited in the clinic space.
Our students are not licensed Registered Massage Therapists (RMT), therefore in many circumstances our clients have been unsuccessful at having the cost reimbursed. We therefore recommend that you inquire directly with your insurance company.
The main purpose of the teaching clinics is to provide an authentic learning environment for our students. If clients would like to see the same student for more than a few sessions, they could enquire about students in later semesters of the program who will be looking for clients to see regularly and repeatedly on a longer term basis. Effective April 24 2019 we cannot accommodate requests for things such as gender of massage therapy student as this would not allow us to provide equal opportunity for student learning.
The Massage Therapy Clinic has a number of Registered Massage Therapists working as instructors in our clinic. The instructors help to ensure that our students develop the clinical skills and professional behaviours required in their future careers through hands-on learning opportunities.
