COVID-19 Updates and Procedures

To all new and current clients, the Ministry of Health revised directive dated March 19th, 2020 allows healthcare providers to gradually return to non-urgent, in-person practice.  As of May 19, 2020 to current date, professionals or organizations that provide in-person counselling services are listed as an essential business. I will adhere to the comfort/safety level of each individual. I will continue to practice with the provision of both options (in-person/virtual). 

 

 Should you choose an in-person session, I will underscore and ensure you have done so with informed consent, signing a waiver form and full understanding of the in-office COVID procedures. Also, please note

that these directives are dynamic and are always changing based on
health safety. I will always ensure information is being communicated via email, my booking site (Jane App) and this website.

​

**I accept all clients and will NOT ask your private health decisions regarding the COVID-19 vaccine.**

There will be a COVID-19 Screening and Waiver Form that is a mandatory form to be completed through our *Jane* booking site prior to your appointment, should you choose to attend in-person.  The Screening Survey questions will need to be answered prior to every appointment and automatically sent via email.

​

As outlined in my attached detailed COVID-19 procedures and I have increased the frequency of disinfection in the office in order to keep everyone safe and healthy.  Please read and adhere to the following requests:

​

• If you have experienced any of the COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed to anyone with these symptoms in the last 14 days - PLEASE DO NOT COME INTO THE OFFICE. 

• It is imperative that you inform me of any symptoms or diagnosis of COVID-19 at any time.

• Please note: the limits of confidentiality may include the requirement to disclose client names, appointment dates, time of entry and departure to Public Health to aid in contact tracing should I become aware that a client has a confirmed infection.

Cleaning products

Air Purifier 

I use a Germ Guardian AC5900WCA 21” 3-in-1 True HEPA Filter Air Purifier that runs 

all day.  True HEPA air filter reduces up to 99.97% of harmful germs, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and other allergens as small as .3 microns from the air.  The UV-C light helps kill airborne viruses and works with Titanium Dioxide to reduce volatile organic compounds.  This powerful 21-inch purifier filters air 4x per hour at max speed in large rooms up to 338 sq. feet. CADR RATING: Dust (220) Pollen (215) and Smoke (218).
