As per the BCCDC, all health care practitioners, their visitors and their patients must implement the usage of medical masks in their facility. While we are not considered to be a part of the "Public Health Care system" it is in the best interest of the therapist and patient to wear a 3 layer mask or a medical grade mask. So when you get here, we will ask if your homemade mask has a filter/water resistant barrier. And if it doesn't, then we will be giving you a medical grade mask.
See attached FORM from the Ministry of Health.
A medical mask can be defined as:

Update:
September onwards time slots will be released at 12:00pm Noon on August 27, 2020. We do not have word yet about what gradual entry to kindergarten will look like, so at the moment I am only able to open the regular business days of September 21 onwards. (Monday - Friday from 9:00-2:00)
My Intentions Going Forward:
New Policy Alert
Your appointment includes 2-5 minutes before your treatment and 2-5 minutes after your treatment. If you are a person who needs longer to get changed / put shoes on / settle up, then we may need to reduce the hands on portion of your treatment to accommodate this. This will allow for more treatment times to be available per day with an appropriate length of time to sanitize between patients.

My Intentions Going Forward:
- More time slots will open between September 10-21 when we find out what gradual entry will be like.
- I would like to be able to offer several regular weekly time slots within the 4:00-9:00 time range when we become comfortable with being back to school.
- If last minute changes happen within the school system, I will do my best to find alternative child care to be able to keep my work commitments.
- People on the cancellation list will have priority to new availability that one-off's the regular schedule of 9:00-2:00. So if you would like to be notified when something comes up, please ask to be on this list.
- As always, I take pride in committing to being as present and available as possible to my work commitments, and personal commitments. I will always do my best to accommodate your needs. Please reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or if you would like to be on the cancellation / waiting list.

Update:
September Dates:
What unusual times we are in! With so much uncertainty about how our elementary school will handle the new changes surrounding COVID - 19. At the moment I am able to offer only evening appointments for September until we know what their plan is. And then concurrently we will have to decide our comfort level on their plan. Likely the end of August / Early September we will know, and I will be able to hopefully open up September day slots.

Update:
What a wonderful initial response! The soft open has come with many adjustments, and we are still managing and adapting as necessary. Thank you to those that have felt comfortable enough to reach out and trust that the level of care we provide will help you safely reach your health goals.
Because of the overwhelming nature of this soft open, we have decided that we will temporarily not be able to take on new patients. As well, the mass email that was to go out on June 15th 2020 to inform the remaining people of our re-opening will be extended by 1 week.

Update:
We have been given the go ahead from the Provincial Government to be legally allowed to work again as of May 19th 2020, as long as we follow the requirements and guidelines that have been provided by the CMTBC, and approved by Dr. Bonnie Henry. I will work hard over the next few days to finish updating the website, and create the protocols and policies that conform to these new requirements.
I am still waiting for a few things to arrive by mail to assure that we have the safest environment possible, and will do a soft open of one client per day 7 days a week to start when the items have arrived. With a full reopen beginning June 15, 2020.

Update:
Our Premier has confirmed May 19, 2020 as a start point to which phase 2 of re-opening BC will be. While RMT's are grouped into this phase, we still await our Provincial Health Officer to advise us on a standard of practice protocol. When this happens, I will need to take many things into consideration before deciding a date to open back up. Thankyou for your patience, I very much look forward to being able to assist you in your health goals as soon as it is safe for both of us.
