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 🙂

Where the clinic sits in the village

Healastic is at 5511 Manotick Main Street, Unit 2B, inside Aesthé Medical Aesthetics. If you know the village, you know the block: it is a couple of minutes from Watson’s Mill and Dickinson Square, just off Bridge Street where it crosses the Rideau River onto Long Island.

That matters practically. There is free parking on site, so a massage in Manotick does not begin with fifteen minutes circling for a space the way an appointment downtown often does. You park, you walk in, you start on time.

It also means you can make an appointment part of a trip into the village rather than an errand of its own — the shops, the mill and the river are all within a short walk.

Why book massage therapy locally

Plenty of Manotick residents drive into Ottawa proper for treatment, and there is no need to. Booking in the village changes the shape of the appointment:

  • No commute either side. A treatment that genuinely settles your nervous system is undone by forty minutes in traffic afterwards.
  • Easier to keep a plan going. Persistent tension responds to regular treatment, and regular is far more achievable when the clinic is five minutes away.
  • Appointments that fit a real day. Monday to Saturday, 8:00am to 8:30pm, so early-morning and evening slots exist for people who work.
  • Free parking, on site. Not metered, not a lot two streets over.

What you can book here

Every treatment offered at Healastic is available in Manotick — nothing is held back for another location, because there is no other location. Sessions are 60 minutes, including intake and assessment where it is needed, and hot stones are incorporated into every massage.

Who travels in, and from where

Manotick sits at a convenient point for the south and west of the city, and the client list reflects that. Most people come from Manotick itself, Barrhaven, Riverside South and Findlay Creek, with a steady number from the villages south and east — Greely, Kars, Osgoode, Richmond and North Gower — and from Kemptville.

A good number make a longer trip: clients drive in from Orleans at the east end of the city and Kanata at the west. Manotick is roughly 25 minutes from downtown Ottawa.

Your therapist

Treated by Pooja Rishal, RMT

I’m a Registered Massage Therapist with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario, trained at the International Academy of Massage here in Ottawa, and practising since 2020.

Before massage therapy I worked as a psychotherapist. That background still informs how I assess — persistent tension usually has more behind it than one tight muscle, and treating it without that context tends to buy relief that does not last.

Every treatment is provided by me personally. You will not be passed between therapists.
