When you book your appointment, and two days before your scheduled time you should receive emails with a link to your account page where you will be able to cancel. You are not allowed to cancel online within 24 hours of your appointment time.

At Amora Massage Therapy Clinic, we endeavour to honour your time by being ready for you at your treatment time and by sending reminder emails to ensure clarity about appointments. We ask that you would honour our time as well, by giving us at least 24 hours notice when cancelling an appointment. We do our best to fill the appointment slots with people who had wanted them, but sometimes that is not possible because of lack of notice.

Patients will be charged personally for missed appointments without notice of cancellation.

The Amora Massage Therapy clinic re-opens May 30th. We've developed a comprehensive Plan for Return to Clinical Practice. This plan was developed with the goal of reducing the risk of exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19 for both patients and the practitioner within our clinical setting. Here, we identify the actions that the Registered Massage Therapists at Amora Massage Therapy commits to, and that all visiting patients must commit to, in order to resume massage therapy services.
