Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

In BCST sessions, clients are guided into states of relaxation, stillness, and nervous system release. Somatic processes involving more verbal communication may be incorporated into BCST sessions if desired. If you're coming for craniosacral therapy only, a consultation is optional. 60 min | $135 75 min | $160 90 min | $180 (GST included)

Insurance coverage

Most extended health plans cover RCC services. Check your benefits for “Registered Clinical Counsellor” or “Clinical Counsellor” coverage.

A non-exhaustive list of providers that may include RCC coverage:

  • Pacific Blue Cross
  • Chamber of Commerce
  • Sun Life Financial
  • Manulife
  • Canada Life (Great West Life)
  • Green Shield Canada
  • Medavie Blue Cross
  • Desjardins

Important: Coverage depends on the specific plan your employer purchased. Contact your provider to confirm:

  • If RCC services are covered
  • Your annual maximum
  • Per-session limits

Please Note: Craniosacral therapy is typically not covered by insurance and is a self-pay service. Some clients choose to combine insurance-covered counselling sessions with self-pay craniosacral work for comprehensive healing.

Payment options

Accepted methods:

  • Credit card (online via JaneApp) - 2.75% processing fee applies
  • E-transfer (no additional fees)
  • Cash
  • Cheque

Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made. It is recommended to send payment in advance of the session so that you can focus on integration after your treatment.

Direct billing available for:

  • ICBC claims
  • Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP)
  • WorkBC

Please inform me at the time of our consultation if you are eligible for direct billing via one of these programs.

Policies

Cancellation: I require 24 hours notice for cancellations and changes. Late cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full session fee. I understand that life happens, and exceptions are made for genuine emergencies.

I believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health support.

Sliding scale: I reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots for those for whom cost is a barrier. Whatever your circumstances, if finances are standing in the way of you getting the help you need, it’s worth reaching out to have a conversation about ways of working together.

Working together

I offer a free 20-minute consultation by phone or video. It's the best way to find out whether we'd be a good fit.
