What is a Non-RMT Massage?
A Non-RMT massage is performed by practitioners who are in the process of becoming Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs), but are not yet fully licensed. These massages offer many of the same therapeutic benefits as an RMT massage — including deep tissue work, relaxation techniques, and targeted tension relief — at a more affordable rate.
While Non-RMT massages are typically not eligible for insurance reimbursement, they are a great option for anyone seeking stress relief, muscle recovery, or self-care without the higher price tag. At Float House, our massage providers are all undergoing professional RMT training.

Sina Ghoddous
Since leaving Iran in 2016, I’ve lived in England, learned French in Montreal, and explored different paths before finding my true passion—massage therapy.
Through these experiences, I realized how important it is to slow down and reconnect with the body—something massage allows me to help others do. In a world of daily chaos, we all need moments to pause. Some days, it’s about talking things out; other days, it’s deep tissue work or building a home-care routine that fits your lifestyle.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me with my two cats, playing soccer, or surrounded by trees in nature.
I’d love to help you feel your best—let’s begin your journey to relaxation and wellness. Happy body = happy mind = happy life.
