Massage Therapy Near Ottawa
A 5-minute walk from downtown Ottawa across the Portage bridge — bilingual massage therapy for Ottawa residents and federal workers.
If you work or live in Ottawa and have been looking for quality massage therapy without the downtown Ottawa prices, Olha Shelest's practice in Hull–Gatineau is closer than you think. From downtown Ottawa — Byward Market, Centretown, Sandy Hill, Lowertown — it is a short 5-minute walk across the Portage bridge or a quick drive via the Alexandra or Macdonald-Cartier bridge.
The National Capital Region's largest employer is the federal government, and many of its employees already cross the river daily. Place du Portage — just steps from the Portage bridge on the Ottawa side — connects directly to Rue Eddy on foot. Federal workers at Terrasses de la Chaudière, Les Terrasses de l'île, and Promenade du Portage are all within a 5-minute walk.
Olha is a bilingual (English and French) AMQ-registered massage therapist. Sessions are offered in English, French, and Ukrainian. Insurance receipts are provided for all sessions — accepted by most federal employee benefit plans and private group insurance.
