Covid-19 and Other Illness Protocols
Covid-19 Precautions
With restrictions lifting we do not have the same precautions happening in the community. This means there are many who are still at risk of serious illness and death. I will be continuing with screening and sanitization protocols and I am continuing to require that clients do not attend in-person therapy sessions if displaying any symptoms of illness. Many of my clients and their loved ones are still vulnerable and I want to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable at my office.
If clients come into the office with symptoms we will not be able to continue the in person session. The late cancellation fee will be charged and we will need to reschedule. I know this may sound harsh, but I do not want to put any clients, myself, or our families and loved ones at risk of illness and time out of work.
Covid-19 Screening
1. Are you currently feeling ill?
2. Are you or anyone in your household currently experiencing symptoms of COVID-19?:
- Cough

- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Diarrhea
- Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
- Skin rash of unknown cause
- Loss of or taste or smell
3. In the last 14 days have you travelled outside of Manitoba?
4. Have you been in close contact with anyone who has travelled outside of Manitoba?
5. Within the last 14 days have you had close contact with or cared for someone who is symptomatic, suspected to have COVID-19, or who has been tested for COVID-19 and is waiting for results, or someone who tested positive for COVID-19?
When Arriving at the Office
Please use the hand sanitizer at the top of the stairs when coming to session. Before entering the office you will be provided with an N95 or KF94 mask to be worn during the session and you can take it with you or keep it in a labeled baggie for your next session. I like to call it your "free gift" with therapy purchase. :)
During the Session
We will all wear masks in the office throughout the session. I also have an air filter running to keep air moving during the work day. After the session the room is sanitized between clients.
