Billy RMT review - I just had the most healing massage from Billy Cheng. I’ve been seeing him for a year now and have referred all my friends to him. There is just something exceptional about his skills. You know how there’s, good Practionners and then there’s Great ones? There is just an X factor to his massages. He’s precise with the pain points, his pressure is perfect (I hate those light greasy touchy-feely ones, or the ones that use no oil and drags your skin). He remembers the details, like pillow under your shoulders or heated blankets. He has just enough interaction and lets you dictate if you want to talk. Personally, I want to be friendly but prefer to just have a silent massage. He gives me just that space. Calm, relaxing, strong professional presence. He’s a gem. I often think he should be massaging LeBron or JLo. How I can be getting someone this good? He should be starting his own massage school. Thanks Billy. This is more than a job. You’re helping people. Anyway, now that I told the world, I hope I can still find an appointment when I need it!

I’ve been seeing Aya since she first began as an RMT and her skill exceeds far beyond any masseuse that I’ve had before - I cannot praise her enough. I genuinely do not know how she has such magically therapeutic touch haha but every time I come in with an injury, I am 100x more mobile and comfortable. She is an absolute gem and, if you don’t believe me, you can book with her yourself and find out. :) The fact that she is so personable is also the cherry on top that makes coming back a no brainer. This clinic is extremely lucky to have her.

I was looking for a new RMT and came across the glowing reviews for Aya. I have been treated by her several times now and I can confidently say she is one of the best RMT’s I’ve been treated by. I would say that what sets her apart is how she is able to use just enough force to relieve soreness and tightness without it teetering into therapy that is painful. I’ve been quite sore lately but a recent treatment from Aya has my neck feeling much better! Thanks again, Aya! Keep being awesome!

Aya is amazing. I like a strong pressure and have had a tough time finding a female RMT that uses enough pressure. But she is the best and I always recommend her to all of my friends. Very sweet and professional too!

​Aya is fantastic! I came in needing work on my lower back and left feeling completely relaxed and recovering. What I appreciated most was that she truly listened to my needs before and during the session. Highly recommend!

Had an awesome RMT session with Erika for my lower back pain and tight shoulders. She’s super skilled, found all the knots, and worked them out like a pro. My back and shoulders feel way better, and she even gave me some tips for home. Totally recommend Erika—she’s great!

This was my first time getting a massage, and Aya was professional and also very understanding in her treatment. I didn't even know I had all these knots in my back until she started working on them. She is skillful, meticulous, and caring with her therapy and I look forward to booking another appointment in the near future.

I just had my first session with RMT Maria Almenario and I can honestly say she is one of the best massage therapists I’ve ever had. On the very first session I had with her, she took the time to understand my needs and areas of tension. I appreciate that she asked what I do for a living and had given me some tips with massage. Every treatment has been incredibly effective and personalized. Her professionalism, calming presence, and deep knowledge of the body made my visit both therapeutic and relaxing. This was only my first session with her and I’ve already noticed a significant improvement in my posture, reduced muscle tension, and better overall well-being. The space overall is always clean, welcoming, and peaceful—an added bonus to the high-quality care they provide. I can’t recommend Maria enough to anyone looking for real results and a truly healing experience. :)

Regina Lopez · Google · 27 May 2025

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The environment is calm, clean, and beautifully relaxing. The massage therapists like Maria & Erika are truly gifted—professional, attentive, and intuitive to individual needs. I left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and completely at peace. This clinic is a hidden gem, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you’re looking for healing hands and a serene experience, this is the place to go.”

Absolutely favourite massage therapy spot and business in Richmond. This location has superb parking availability and easy to get to. The registered massage therapists are fantastic and skilled, looking forward to trying them all, though Jonathan Dawson will likely be my fave.
