Our Covid-19 Prevention Policies
Mandatory Covid-19 Screening:
you will receive a questionnaire by email 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Please note the following changes to our screening:
We require you to reschedule your in-person appointments if:
- you are symptomatic of any respiratory infection (coughing, sneezing/congestion, sore throat, fever of 37.8C or higher)
- you have received your second Covid-19 vaccination at least 2 weeks ago but have experienced Covid-19 symptoms within the last 7 days or someone in your household has
- you are unvaccinated for Covid-19 (or have not received your second dose at least 2 weeks ago) and have experienced Covid-19 symptoms within the last 10 days or someone in your household has, or you have been in close contact with someone who is positive for Covid-19
- you have been directed to self-isolate by a Health Care Provider or Public Health Official
We require this form to be completed prior to every in-clinic appointment. If you have a virtual appointment (phone or video) scheduled, please disregard the screening questionnaire email. If it is a Naturopathic Consultation, you can change to a phone/video consultation instead.
Sanitizing Hands - everyone must visit the washroom upon arrival (turn right once you reach the second floor) to wash their hands well with soap and water, and then please also use the hand sanitizer provided at our door on your way in.
Masks - everyone is asked to please wear a mask when in the clinic that must fully cover your nose, mouth and chin.
Please come alone to your appointment unless you require assistance (or for children). We also ask that you come right at your appointment time rather than early. This helps us to minimize the number of people in the clinic at a time and increase our physical distancing.
Payment processing - currently, we are not accepting cash payments. We recommend taking advantage of our direct billing service (to your insurance provider), or credit card (to tap) to minimize time spent in our reception area, however Debit transactions are also available.
Clinic Sanitization - we have increased measures and frequency of cleaning in the clinic as a whole and treatment rooms, linens, and all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between clients. We also have multiple additional air purifiers located throughout the clinic.

We believe in helping our patients build the foundations for optimal health and that without them, any medicine is simply masking the problem.
A safe, confidential and compassionate environment is created for each patient, allowing space to heal without feeling rushed or unheard.
We look forward to guiding you on your road to optimal health!
