The Lodge: Private Sauna & Male Massage in Ottawa

A Private Retreat for Men

Your space. Your time. Your escape.

No reception desk. No crowded locker room. No strangers.

The Lodge brings together full-body male massage, private sauna relaxation and comfortable surroundings in Ottawa.

Some of my most memorable appointments weren't memorable because of the massage itself. They were the ones where we talked for a while, shared a drink, or simply enjoyed having someone else around.

I wrote about a few of those encounters in The Men Who Hire Me. The Lodge grew from the realization that sometimes people want more time together, not necessarily more things to do.

Come for an hour or arrange something longer. On your own, with a partner or with friends.

Location

The Lodge is located in Ottawa's east end. There's parking in the driveway and on the street, with easy access from downtown Ottawa, Vanier, Gloucester and surrounding neighbourhoods.

See the map in the Contact page.

Two Private Massage Studios

Choose between a traditional massage table and a larger massage bed designed for more freedom of movement.

Both offer fresh linens, warm oil, soft lighting and a setting made for relaxation.

Whether you prefer Swedish massage or my signature skin-to-skin massage, there's room to make yourself comfortable.

Infrared Sauna & Showers

The Lodge includes a private three-person infrared sauna and two showers.

Enjoy the warmth before or after your massage, with fresh towels and toiletries available.

Unlike a public sauna, your booked time is private. No unexpected guests.

Better Together

The Lodge also accommodates couples and small private groups.

For simultaneous appointments, I can help arrange additional male masseurs, each hired independently.

Where It All Begins

The Lodge is a smaller version of something I hope to build: an intimate men's Nordic spa, with communal thermal facilities and a dedicated massage team.

For now, this is where the philosophy comes to life.
