“Wizardress. It’s not a word we hear that often in 2025. In fact, IOS spellcheck has underlined it as an unacceptable word. Well! May I tell you, Siri, about a real life wizardress who is more than acceptable, in fact, I believe she is the most powerful sorcerer in this neck of the woods. Her given human from name is Emily Desmarais, and it was my first visit to her enchanted kingdom. I had some issues with my upper back area due to smashing my bicycle at low speed on some of that hard tarmac many fortnights ago, and really needed help - of a mystical kind. She was able to see me within days due to a cancellation, and from when I entered the coven hoped her magic would cure me. Now, I won’t disclose personal medical information, but I can confidently say that she was courteous, kind, had powerful spells, incredible grip strength, and looked and acted rather convincingly like a human would. The room was a vibe, as the young folks say, with essential oils, relaxing music, low mood lighting, and a heated bed. If I didn’t get a recommendation from Jody the other neighborhood magician, I would say this Mrs. Demaris was trying to seduce me! But I resisted her charms and she kept kneading the pain away with elbows, thumbs, bat wings (I could only guess since I had my eyes closed), and I do believe she also threw a fire belly newt into her cauldron at some point as well. The 90 minutes went by quickly at times, although time seemed to slow as well, she really went to town on the scar tissue and melted cheese fascia. We used food analogies to describe the layers and stuff she was hittin’. As you can tell I ain’t no magician myself. Which is to say, she is a flipping rockstar mang, and I will be going back again after I destroy my body in fun ways and paying her in cold hard cash and tipping her with a cold beer again. 5 out 5 stars, highly recommend, I’ve already told 2 IRL friends about her. Do it!”Read moreShow less

“I have been to Emily 3 times after a friend recommended her. She is absolutely amazing! She listens to any concerns you may have and gives you recommendations on what stretches would help going forward after your appointment. She does check ins to make sure that the amount of pressure is not too much or if you need more. I highly recommend Emily if you are looking for a massage therapist. Can't wait for my next appointment :)”Read moreShow less

“Emily is excellent! She knows intuitively what areas need to be worked on I always leave feeling both energized and relaxed. She is always quick to respond to inquiries and has a user-friendly automated system for booking, payments etc. There is always adequate free street parking directly in front. In addition to Emily's ability to offer thorough and in depth massages, her attitude is always bright and positive. Would highly recommend her services!”Read moreShow less

“Emily uses a combination of deep tissue massage and craniosacral therapy to help ease headaches and neck pain related to my post-concussion symptoms. She has a caring and skillful touch. I trust her intuitive and holistic approach: she reads the physical body as well as more subtle energy bodies, and creates a treatment plan that works for the whole person. I'm so glad to have found her!”Read moreShow less

“Emily has really helped with my recovery from an ankle sprain I got from playing volleyball. Getting the deep tissue massage has helped with the damage and tension I’ve had in my leg. Would definitely recommend her!”

“I'm a weightlifter and runner. I was referred to Emily from friends in Burlington who saw her religiously and had glowing reviews. After just one visit, Emily is the only massage therapist in the city who I want working on my body. She knows what she's doing, has a calming and compassionate presence, and leaves me feeling completely rejuvenated after a session. Her clinic is relaxing, private and easy to find, plus there's free parking right outside the door. I'm so glad I found her!”Read moreShow less

“I’ve been looking for a massage therapist like Emily ever since moving to Ottawa. She’s absolutely amazing at what she does and is helping me manage my injuries. Only person I’ll see now that I found her!”

“Emily doesn’t just have an education as to how to help you as a client she has the gift of being able to feel and read what is happening with her client. Her technique is wholistic and I have benefited from her treatment’s immensely. She is the best massage therapist and reiki practitioner I have experienced.”Read moreShow less
