Good morning, everyone!

Effective immediately, I am implementing a new policy around direct billing for clients in the Workplace NL program. Before paying out a claim to me, Canada Life is now requiring each patient to provide proof to them that Workplace isn’t paying the claim- this extra paperwork means several weeks of delay and long hours communicating with Workplace case workers, my clients, and Canada Life trying to untangle why claims aren’t being paid on time. The administrative burden this puts on me is becoming too much.

Going forward, if you are off work due to a workplace injury and have an open claim, you will have to pay for massage up front and then submit your receipt to Canada Life for reimbursement. I apologize for the extra work, but I am no longer able to juggle the many extra steps required for multiple cases at any given time.

However, from what I understand, Canada Life will still pay for treatments, and I am still more than happy to treat you! The benefit of massage therapy for soft tissue injuries is indisputable, and I’m committed to being part of your recovery.

Thanks for your ongoing trust.

December is almost upon us! A couple reminders:
1) if you are sick or getting sick, PLEASE do not come in for treatment. I’m happy to rebook you. My goal is to stay healthy and keep my clients healthy, too!
2)December will fill up very fast, so book your spot now! I won’t be accepting any new patients till January in order to make plenty of room for all my existing clients. 🙂

Very excited to add a big ol’ mashup bootcamp on Sunday mornings at 10:00am which will run through these dark winter months. This will be a mix of bodyweight and props (dumbbells, steps, medicine balls, etc.) and have a slightly different format than Monday nights to keep things interesting.

Another two new classes are coming Fridays at 12:15, and will be taught by Amanda Fisher: a 30 minute tabata workout followed by a 30 minute core and stretching class. We all love yoga with Amanda; now we get to sweat and stretch with her, too!

It is so exciting to be part of this exciting programming and I am absolutely loving working out with you all!

Exciting news! My workout classes are starting Monday Oct 20 at 6:30pm at the Bonavista YMCA. This class will use dumbbells and be full-body focused, with modifications available. There is a limit of 14 people for this class, so you must register through the YMCA app, although you may be able to call the YMCA the day of the class to reserve a spot and pay the drop-in fee if you aren’t a member yet. Thursdays at 7:15am I’ll be teaching a bodyweight boot camp, and there is no class size limit, so drop-in should be fine. I recommend bringing a yoga mat to this class for the exercises we do on the floor, but there will be thicker workout mats available, too. Let me know if you have any questions, and please share with anyone else who may be interested!

The parking lot next to the clinic is very slippery these days! We are not responsible for this area, but would like our clients to exercise caution when walking to the clinic to avoid any accidents. Stay safe, everyone! ❄️

Big changes have just been made to how car accident claims are treated in our province. Here’s some information on it all. Reach out if you have any questions!

Please take a moment to sign this petition. The new protocols being rolled out by the auto insurance industry will limit your ability to access adequate, comprehensive care should you be in a car accident. We are standing with physiotherapists and chiropractors in protest to these new changes and their negative impact on both therapist and patient.

Effective January 1, 2025, treatment prices will increase by $5, in keeping with industry standards.
I am grateful for your ongoing trust.
