Client Stories
What Our Clients Say
I recently consulted Olha Shelest because office work and prolonged sitting had caused me significant back pain. After just two sessions, I already felt much better, and after the fourth, the pain was completely gone. Olha is extremely skilled and truly helped me find lasting relief. Thank you so much for your outstanding work; you really saved my life! I highly recommend her services to anyone suffering from similar problems

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. As an AMQ-registered massage therapist, I provide official receipts accepted by most Canadian group insurance plans and employee benefit programs. No doctor's referral is required — check your plan details for coverage amounts.
- My practice is located at 148 Rue Eddy in Hull–Gatineau, QC — just minutes from the Portage and Alexandra bridges. I serve clients from Gatineau, Hull, Aylmer, and Ottawa, including federal employees at Place du Portage and Terrasses de la Chaudière who are a short walk away.
- We start with a short intake conversation to understand your goals, health history, and any areas of concern. Throughout the session you remain covered by a sheet — the therapist works on one area at a time, keeping everything else draped. First sessions typically run the full booked time, with follow-up care recommendations at the end.
- It depends on your goal. For acute pain or injury recovery, weekly sessions are often recommended initially. For stress management or general wellness, monthly sessions maintain the benefits well. We will discuss the right cadence for you during your first visit.
- Yes. Children's massage is a gentle, therapeutic service available with parental consent and presence. It can help with growing pains, stress, sleep difficulties, and general relaxation. Sessions are adapted in duration and technique to each child's needs.
