Owl Practice
Kim does use Owl Practice to store all client information. This system is encrypted from end to end and passes all PHIA and FIPPA legislation. The only organizations that would have access to these documents would be Non-Insured Health Benefits in the case of an audit, and or a subpoena by court.
Use of Technology
Clients need to be aware that a primary source of connecting, speaking with, and coordinating services is done over text, e-mail or upon occasion social media. Kim uses these platforms to connect with and create accessibility for clients. Please note however that Kim is not an emergency service and is a solo practitioner. Please connect with your local emergency numbers or national resources should you or someone that you care for be in immediate danger.
Messages are not checked (on all technology platforms) past 9:00 pm nor does she respond until 7:30 am. All messages received between the window of 9:00 pm-7:30 am will not be responded to. we will do our best to be flexible and accommodate client needs, however personal commitments dictate the ebb and flow of flexibility. Client and Mental Health clinician are not always the best fit. If this happens there is never any hard feelings. However it is integral for therapeutic relationship to flourish that there be mutual respect.
SMUDGING CEREMONIES
Smudging is a traditional spiritual practice used by many Indigenous cultures in North America and beyond. It involves burning specific herbs, often sage, cedar, sweetgrass, or tobacco, to create smoke that is used for purification, healing, and blessing. Smudging is deeply rooted in the belief that the smoke can cleanse negative energy, promote healing, and create a sacred space.
