Spa Massage Non-RMT Service Provided by a Skilled Esthetician
Spa Massage (non-RMT) provided by a skilled Esthetician is designed to provide clients with a soothing and stress-relieving experience. These sessions typically involve gentle massage techniques aimed at promoting overall relaxation and well-being. Unlike massage therapy treatments provided by Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs), Spa Massages by estheticians are not intended to address specific musculoskeletal issues or medical conditions.
Benefits of a Spa Massage (non-RMT)
The primary goal is to help clients unwind by reducing mental and physical stress through calming massage techniques. As a more readily available service this is the perfect addition to other spa treatments

Important considerations
A Spa Massage (non-RMT) provided by a skilled Esthetician offers a calming experience focused on stress reduction and overall well-being. However, for therapeutic massage or insurance coverage, a massage with a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) is required. Prioritize your well-being with Hand & Stone—because self-care is a continuous journey, not just a single appointment.
Insurance Coverage
Since these massages are performed by estheticians and not RMTs, they are NOT covered by health insurance benefits in Canada. Consequently, insurance receipts are not provided for these services.
Scope of Practice
Estheticians focus on relaxation and esthetic enhancements. For therapeutic needs, such as deep tissue work or treatment of specific injuries, booking your treatment with an RMT is advisable.

FAQ
What is a Spa Massage (non-RMT)?
A Spa Massage (non-RMT) is a gentle, soothing massage provided by a skilled Esthetician in a calm day spa setting. It uses light, flowing massage techniques and is focused on relaxation and comfort.
It is a spa service, not massage therapy, and it is not performed by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT).
Is a Spa Massage the same as a relaxation massage?
Yes. Spa Massage (non-RMT) is the new name for the service we previously called Esthetic Relaxation Massage, which you may also know as a relaxation massage or relaxing massage.
It is the same style of gentle esthetic massage, provided by a skilled Esthetician.
What is the difference between a non-RMT massage and an RMT massage?
Both can be relaxing, but they serve different purposes:
- Spa Massage (non-RMT): provided by a skilled Esthetician using gentle, flowing techniques. It is intended for relaxation and general well-being, and it is not eligible for insurance receipts.
- RMT massage therapy: provided by a Registered Massage Therapist. It may be more targeted, can involve deeper pressure or specialized techniques, and is the option to choose for therapeutic needs or if you require an insurance receipt.
If you are looking for therapeutic treatment, please see our massage therapy services.
