Have your little one bring in their stuffy or doll for their doctor or NP appointment. Stickers are fun too! This can help them feel safe. We had a visit from Mr M today and this little one loved Olaf ⛄️

Hint of Health Inc grew a little bit bigger this long weekend. At 41 weeks and born at home with her siblings by her side, little Hazel made her fast and furious appearance. Julia will be off from her in person appointments and arranged coverage has no changes. Mariah and Meghan are the NPs covering, with Saman our naturopath doctor, and Natalee our nurse also present. Joanne our admin is managing our office or if you need to reach Julia.

Can Nurse Practitioners or Registered Nurses Provide Psychotherapy in Ontario? Yes.

Psychotherapy is a protected title and uses the controlled act of psychotherapy (treating serious thought disorder, cognition, mood, emotional regulation, perception, or memory). A nurse cannot simply provide psychotherapy because they’re a nurse.

This is a question that comes up from time to time, and it’s an important one.

As a Nurse Practitioner (NP) registered with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), NPs are authorized to provide psychotherapy within their legislated scope of practice when they have the appropriate knowledge, skill, and judgment.

Registration with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) is not required for Nurse Practitioners or RNs to provide psychotherapy as part of their practice.

Beyond the Nurse Practitioner education, I have completed additional training in evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches, including:
🧠 Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
🧠 Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
🧠 Internal Family Systems informed therapy (IFS)

Many of the nurses in our practice have also received mental health training through the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), UHN, and other various courses.

Julia has experience working in forensic mental health, perinatal training, and post partum training with common conditions like PPA and PPD.

Continuing education is an ongoing part of our practice and allows to provide comprehensive, evidence-informed mental health care.

At Hint of Health, the goal is to provide compassionate, accessible mental health support while practicing safely, ethically, and within the standards set.

Mental health care should be accessible, evidence-based, and patient-centred—and we are proud to offer psychotherapy as part of our practice.
💙 If you have questions about what nurses can do in Ontario, we’d be happy to answer them.

Every day before I leave for work, my daughter and son give me (and my husband) a toy to take with me. 🧸

Some days it’s a tiny dinosaur, sometimes a princess, sometimes a random little figurine that rides in my pocket all day.

She always says, “So you won’t forget me.”
Of course I could never forget her — but I bring it anyway, and it sits on my desk while I see patients.

To her, that toy is more than a toy. It’s connection. It’s comfort. It’s her way of staying close to mom while we’re apart.

Little rituals like this are actually powerful for child development. They help children build secure attachment, learn that goodbyes are safe, and feel confident exploring the world knowing their parent is still connected to them.

What seems small to us is huge to them.

So yes… my office has a growing collection of tiny toys.

And honestly, they might be the most important things on my desk. ❤️

As an NP (and a mom who’s been there), I see a lot of worried parents when ear infections pop up. The good news? 📰

Many ear infections in children are viral, which means the body can often clear them on its own with time, rest, fluids, and pain control.

Not every ear infection needs an antibiotic, sometimes the best medicine is comfort, patience, and a lot of cuddles.

🥰

If your little one has ear pain, fever, or seems extra fussy, it’s always okay to get them checked. Your momma or daddy instincts matter.

Tiny humans are tough. The immune system is learning every day 💪🏾

🤗

(In all seriousness don’t let your child use a hot glue gun to their ear. She just got over her own ear infection and thought the glue gun looked like the otoscope from her own doctor visit 😂).

Children don’t learn best from pressure.
They learn through play. Through mess. Through connection.
Painting faces. Giggles. Imagination.
This is brain development. This is regulation. This is growth.
As a Nurse Practitioner, I’m passionate about supporting children not just when something is “wrong,” but in their everyday wellness — development, behavior, emotions, and thriving.
Play isn’t extra. It’s essential. 🤍
If you’re wondering about your child’s development or just want a supportive wellness check-in, I’d love to help.

Attention community: the government is trying to remove primary care practices who practice privately and have people attached to “Ontario Health Teams”. This could have implications for private practices like me. Many people come to me because my hours are off regular hours or other reasons they choose not to share (I also don’t ask bc it doesn’t really matter, you choose with your money).

I’m asking you to come on Monday September 29 at 5:30-7:30 at St Thomas Seniors Centre to have your voice why you choose private practice or how closing private practices across Ontario impairs your access to care. Many people I serve late at night and I know I’ve saved the emergency room or urgent care.

I don’t want ohip because I prefer the long visit times (ie 1/2h to 1h to Home visits when patients just deliver a baby, to the dying parent I’m able to come to your house, or the person in a mental health crisis and an MD calls me to go do a house call…)

This would cease and negatively impacts people).

Please come join me. Please use your voice. This matters.
