Frequently asked questions.

What services do you offer?

I offer acupuncture treatments, Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies, and Katonah Yoga® classes — both private and small group.


Acupuncture/TCM treatments support fertility, hormones, digestion, stress, pain, and emotional balance.

Yoga sessions explore structure, theory, and perspective through the Katonah framework to help you build strength, alignment, and joy!

Where are you located?

I currently offer treatments and classes at Aurora Wellness Centre (1989 Kaye Rd, Nanoose Bay).

Workshops may be held at various locations across Vancouver Island.

Please check your confirmation email or Jane App booking page for your appointment details and directions.


(You can always contact me directly if you’re unsure where your session will be held.)

Do you accept extended health coverage?

Yes — acupuncture is covered under most extended health care plans.

Coverage amounts vary by provider and plan. Please contact your insurance company directly to confirm your benefits.

Do you offer direct billing?

Yes! — I offer direct billing for most major insurance providers including:

  • TELUS eClaims network (coming soon)

  • Pacific Blue Cross

  • Sun Life

  • GreenShield

  • SSQ Insurance

  • MÉDIC Construction (GreenShield Insurance)

    If your plan is eligible, I can bill your insurer directly at the time of your treatment.

Please bring your insurance card to your first visit or upload your details through your Jane App profile.

If your plan does not support direct billing or your plan is not able to be direct billed through me, you’ll receive a receipt that you can submit for reimbursement.

Do you treat fertility and reproductive health?

Yes. Fertility, hormonal balance, menstrual health, and menopause support are core areas of my practice.
Treatments are tailored to support natural conception, assisted fertility, and cycle regulation using TCM principles and individualized care.

How do I pay for my session?

Payment is accepted by credit card (stored in Jane) or e-transfer at the time of your appointment.

If direct billing is successful, you’ll only pay any remaining balance not covered by your plan.

What is your privacy policy?

All personal and medical information is collected for the purpose of your care and kept confidential in accordance with BC’s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

Your records are stored securely and never shared without your written consent.
