Pooja is expert in massage therapy. She will patiently understand the queries, answer based on your requirements. She is very professional and organized. The best part is she is also certified in pediatric therapy. My 5 YO and 8 YO enjoyed their sessions and liked it so much. I definitely recommend Healastic( Pooja). I got a lot of relief from my lower back pain and stiffness.

I had such an amazing experience. I came in with pain in my leg, and the care and attention she gave to that area was incredible she really took the time to understand what was going on and treated it so thoughtfully. By the end of the session, the pain had completely eased. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made me feel throughout. Her energy is calm, professional, and genuinely caring. You can tell she truly wants her clients to feel better, not just physically but overall. I’m so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a massage that’s both healing and relaxing.

Pooja is amazing at what she does. My back had been tight and sore for months, and after just one session I felt relief. She is extremely skilled, attentive, and knew exactly how to find and release all the knots and tension. I can't wait for my next massage. Thank you!
Pooja is an incredible massage therapist! I’ve received several massages from her and her touch is sublime—great deep tissue work when called upon but she has the skill to ease up when necessary as well. Her kind demeanor is also an incredible plus! A true 10/10 🙂

- Registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario

- Receipts provided for insurance purposes
Every session
60 minutes (30 for paediatric), including intake and assessment where it is needed, so treatment is shaped around you rather than run to a template.
Hot stones included in every massage treatment — warming the tissue first means deeper work at lower pressure.
Insurance receipts provided for every appointment.
Services
Treatments tailored to what your body needs
All treatments are provided by a Registered Massage Therapist, with hot stones incorporated into every massage.
Prenatal & Lymphatic
Supportive care through pregnancy with safe positioning, and manual lymphatic drainage for swelling, post-surgical recovery and immune support.
Jaw, Head & Targeted Work
Buccal facial massage for TMJ and jaw clenching, head and scalp work for tension headaches, plus abdominal and hand-and-foot treatments.
Hot Stone Therapy
Heated stones form part of every massage — warming the tissue so the work can go deeper at lower pressure, with results most clients find last longer.
Our story
Massage that treats the person, not just the muscle
Healastic is my registered massage therapy practice in Manotick, inside Aesthé Medical Aesthetics on Manotick Main Street. The name joins two ideas I keep returning to — healing and elasticity — because restoring flexibility in the tissue and balance in daily life tend to go together.
I trained at the International Academy of Massage in Ottawa and have practised since 2020. I also worked as a psychotherapist before moving into massage therapy, and that background still informs how I assess: persistent headaches, night-time jaw clenching and chronically raised shoulders usually have more behind them than a single tight muscle.
Appointments are 60 minutes, including intake and assessment where it is needed. I’ll ask about your work, your sleep and what you have already tried, then we agree a treatment plan and adjust it as you progress.

Gift Cards
A massage is an easy thing to give and a hard thing to book for yourself. Gift cards are available online for any amount, arrive by email, and can be put towards any treatment.
Insurance & direct billing
Direct billing is coming soon — TELUS eClaims and Green Shield are being set up now, with Sun Life and Pacific Blue Cross to follow.
You do not need to wait for it. Pay at your appointment and I’ll email you a receipt with my CMTO registration number. Submit it to your insurer yourself — it takes a couple of minutes online and you are reimbursed exactly as you would be with direct billing. The money comes back to you instead of being paid to me up front, and nothing about your coverage changes.
