Book a Massage Appointment

The Island Career Academy Massage Therapy Clinic provides professional massage services to the community of Cape Breton while giving ICA's Massage Therapy diploma students valuable hands-on clinical experience. All sessions are performed by registered student therapists under the direct supervision of a qualified instructor, ensuring a safe, professional, and comfortable experience for every client.

Year 1 students offer relaxation massage — a gentle, full-body Swedish-style treatment designed to reduce muscle tension, ease everyday stress, and promote a general sense of well-being. Relaxation sessions run 60 minutes and are an excellent choice for clients who are new to massage therapy or simply looking to unwind.

Year 2 students offer therapeutic massage, a more targeted approach that addresses specific musculoskeletal concerns such as chronic tension, postural imbalances, and areas of acute discomfort. Therapeutic sessions are available in 60-minute or 90-minute formats, giving you more time to work through multiple areas or focus on a single region in greater depth.

What to expect at your appointment. When you arrive, your therapist will review a brief health intake form with you to identify any contraindications, medical conditions, or areas you would like addressed. This information remains confidential and is used solely to tailor your session. Please wear or bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, and arrive a few minutes early for your first visit.

Payment can be made by credit card at the time of booking or by cash on the day of your appointment. Clinic rates are kept intentionally accessible to reflect the supervised student environment. Tips are welcome and go entirely to the student therapist.

Sessions are offered throughout the academic year while student cohorts are in their clinical rotation. Availability changes week to week, so we recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred date, time, and therapist.
