What are your Cancellation Policies?
At the Duncan building, I require 48 hours notice. Please book and cancel your sessions through the online booking site linked to in the LOCATION section of my website. If you miss an appointment or cancel with less notice than required you will be charged the full fee for the session. This policy is typical for many massage therapists and helps to ensure a certain level of financial stability, allowing me to continue to do the job I love in a sustainable way. If you are aware that you will not be able to make a session in advance, please cancel as soon as you are able in order to free up the space for someone else to book. If it looks like you are overbooking, I will contact you and cancel excess sessions. If you are sick please contact me and do not come to the clinic. Late cancellation due to illness will be charged $35 if I am not able to fill the space.
How do I see when you are available?
Go to the online booking site linked to in the LOCATION section of my website. My availability is displayed one month in advance. If you do not see options that work for you, please add yourself to the customizable waitlist.
Do you work with ICBC or WorkSafe BC?
No.
Do you offer direct billing to insurance companies?
Yes, I offer direct billing for RMT services. Please note, I cannot tell you in advance how much you will be covered for and it is your responsibility to manage your coverage. You will be expected to pay the balance if your company does not provide the full fee of your session. If the insurance company does not accept direct billing or if you prefer to pay, you will be charged for the session and issued a receipt to submit to your company. Here is a list of insurance providers I work with:
Claim Secure, Coughlin, Cowan, D.A. Townley, Desjardins, Empire Life, Equitable Life, First Canadian, Greenshield, Canada Life, GroupHEALTH, GroupSource, GMS, Industrial Alliance, Johnson Group Inc., Johnson Inc., Manulife, Maximum Benefit Insurance, Medavie Blue Cross, Pacific Blue Cross, Sunlife
Why do I need to enter my credit card information to book a session with you?
Credit card information is encrypted and is used to take payments through Janeapp, the clinic software. Having a credit card on file also allows me to offer efficient contactless payment for sessions as welll as missed appointments. If, when you come to see me for treatment, you do not want to use your credit card to pay for your session you may use debit, exact cash or e-transfer instead.
Why have you done so much education in somatic work and trauma?
As a trauma survivor, I was disappointed to find that my foundational RMT education did not provide adequate information or training on the prevalence of trauma and the lasting impact it can have on a person’s ability to: feel safe in their body, voice their needs to practitioners, and feel worthy of care. I am committed to continuing to learn about how to better support people in a way that is trauma-informed . This includes doing my own work to heal as well and continuing to seek diverse education and experience as I humbly learn to create relative safety within our therapeutic alliance. There are limitations to what I can offer as an RMT due to my scope of practice. If you are interested in the non-RMT Somatic Therapy work I offer, click here.
