This private room is equipped with a changing table, a rocking chair, nursing pillow, refrigerator, and sink.  

When you arrive, please inform reception that you intend to breastfeed during the day, so that you can obtain the necessary information and be directed to the appropriate room. If you wish to use a breast pump, you can do so here. If you wish to breastfeed in person, the person who will be accompanying your baby to the spa must come to the lobby to meet you so that you can breastfeed. This person can then wait in the lobby or at the Mëzz Café.

  • Our pregnant clientele is encouraged to book the Mom-to-Be massage. However, they should consult their doctor before receiving a massage.

  • Many of our pools are 37 °C

HEALTH, SAFETY & ACCESSIBILITY

Nordik is nestled in the hills of Gatineau Park and was built to follow the natural terrain of the hills. Our installations are situated at various elevations, with some steps and inclinations throughout the site.

We have accessible parking spots available closer to the main entrance, as our general parking lot is downhill and contains steps. However, the main door is only accessible via an outdoor flight of stairs.

Please reach out to us prior to your visit if you experience mobility impairments, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Thermal Experience 

The thermal experience may present risks for those suffering from angina, heart or respiratory problems, diabetes, and hyper- or hypotension – especially when these conditions are viewed as serious and/or uncontrolled.  

Massages and body treatments  

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, are in remission, or have undergone major surgery in the last three months, it is possible that a note from your health care provider will be required.  

Prior to receiving any massage or body treatment, we ask all clients to fill out and sign a health form as a means of certifying that you have declared any health conditions.  

Please be sure to always consult with your doctor for personalized medical advice.
