  • A Change in Care, With a Clear Plan
    Apr 28 2026

    Something in your healthcare changing, even when it’s a positive change, can feel unsettling.


    In this short pop-up episode, I’m walking you through an important update in my practice and what it means for your care.


    As of July 1st, my Ontario practice will be moving fully online as I relocate to British Columbia. For many of you, this won’t change much. For others, it may bring up questions about what comes next.


    In this episode, we cover:


    What is changing and what is staying the same

    How virtual care will work moving forward

    Your options if you prefer in-person care in Ontario

    An introduction to Dr. Sheila Dyer, who will be seeing patients at Norfolk Wellness

    How we are working together to support a smooth, thoughtful transition


    The goal is simple: you are not being left to figure this out on your own. You will have clear options and continued support, whatever you decide.


    If you’d like to continue care with me, you can book virtual or in-person appointments (until the end of June) using the link below.


    If you’re considering in-person care in Ontario, you’ll also have the option to work with Dr. Sheila Dyer at Norfolk Wellness.
