NEW massage therapy booking system  

The Mount Royal Student Practicum Centre’s new online appointment booking system lets you sign in via Google, Facebook or Twitter, so you don’t have to worry about yet another username and password. (If you’d prefer, you can create an account tied to your email.) With the system’s My Account feature, you can manage upcoming massage therapy bookings, update paperwork and more. Visit the clinic website to book a massage. The $20 fee for a one-hour massage therapy appointment goes towards student scholarships.
