Website analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and to improve content and navigation. Google Analytics may collect information through cookies or similar technologies. Google requires that sites using Google Analytics disclose its use and how data is collected and processed. Google Help
If you prefer not to be included in analytics, you may adjust browser settings to block cookies, use privacy tools that limit tracking, or use the Google Analytics opt-out options available from Google.
Google Tag Manager
We may use Google Tag Manager to manage website tags and tracking tools in a more organized way. Tag Manager is used to deploy tags and does not, by itself, create analytics data unless it is set up to do so.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function and support analytics. Some cookies may be essential for basic site operation, and others may support measurement and performance.
You can control cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.
Booking and third-party links
Booking is handled through our scheduling platform at JaneApp. When you click a booking link, you are leaving our website and entering a service that has its own privacy policy and terms.
Our website may also include links to other sites. We do not control the privacy practices of external websites.
Email and electronic communication
If you contact us by email or web form, please keep in mind that email is not always the most secure way to share sensitive information. If privacy is a concern, you may keep your message brief and request a call or consultation. Ontario privacy guidance also highlights the need for care when communicating personal health information by email. IPC Ontario
Legal and regulatory context

In Ontario, the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) is the health-sector privacy law that governs how personal health information is handled. Oma
How we store and protect information
