Meet Amanda, my new patient care coordinator.

You might recognize Amanda from her photography () or her animal therapy (), and now she will be the voice offering you support and warmth on the other side of the phone and emails.

Amanda grew up in the North, where her love for nature, animals, and all things creative first began. With a diverse background in recreation, health, and wellness, she’s always been passionate about helping others. Two years ago, her family moved to Creston when her husband accepted a job with Canfor, and they’ve loved calling this beautiful valley home ever since.

My sincere apologies to everyone that has been inconvenienced by my illness the past two weeks. I understand it’s particularly bad timing happening immediately upon our return from holidays. However I truly do not want to share this illness with any of you. I’ve never been so sick or for so long in my life, and unfortunately my daughter has been as well so I have to make sure she’s well enough to return to her peers as well. I am hoping we will be back next week and we will call to reschedule everyone. Please be prepared I will likely offer some days and times that I do not normally work, just to try to get you all in.

Also my gratitude to the excellent MDs at Emergency who took care of us 3 times in the past 5 days. This years influenza is a doozy folks, and it’s ripping through town right now. We were even told there is a bizarre number of pneumonia cases associated with this influenza, so if you’ve been ill and you stopped getting better or got worse, there might be more than meets the eye.

Stay healthy and thanks for understanding!

Administrative update!

We are now allowing texting to schedule/reschedule appointments. Please do not text documents or medical questions, it is strictly for a faster response time for scheduling than email.

Also please be aware that there will be a fee increase on July 1. Most increases will be minor. I do try to raise my prices as little as often but as we are all aware, all of the expenses in our world keep going up every year, and the costs to run my business do as well. In BC we do have a fee schedule and I am consistently below those prices, and the difficulty with that is the prices are set based on what it costs to run an office, with the majority of those expenses being consistent regardless if you’re practicing in the city or rurally. I will update the website in June to reflect the new rates for July 1.

New patients wanting to get in before the rates go up, please get in touch as soon as possible because I only have a couple spots left in June for new patients.

As always, I love working with you all and I hope you have a happy, healthy day.

In 2019 I had a dream. A dream to bring to life a platform that met the needs of all the hard working, running on fumes, super women. A place for healing, for safety, for learning and transformation.

And then I had a baby, and there was a pandemic, and then a miscarriage, and a car accident and subsequent head injury. It felt like the odds were stacked against me for making that dream a reality.

So I put that dream in my pocket and kept going through the day to day.

And then in January I was given an opportunity, if I could find a way to put together the information, I could finally access a space to get it out to the world.

Today I’m announcing that I’ve finally published the first in a series of online learning programs. I’ll be building many opportunities for women including everything from fatigue and burnout, to hormones, fertility, postpartum, and perimenopause.

Today I’m so excited to announce that my infant sleep programs are officially available on my website! With options for newborns, 3-6 month olds, and advanced tools for 6-12 months and beyond, there’s something for all babies, and tired parents, learning to sleep! If you just want good foundations and habits, or you need serious help, I’ve got you covered!

Check it out on my website https://kimberleyhine.com/programs

If you want more mom specific content follow me on facebook Vibrant Moms Wellness Hub or on Instagram . I’ll keep the Dr Kim space for more generalized health information.

If infant sleep isn’t on your radar right now that’s alright, stick with me, I promise I’ve got something coming for you soon 💕 Also I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you sharing with anyone you know that might benefit from following me too!

The cervical screening program in BC is changing, after the results of a 15 year study were reviewed. We are moving to HPV screening (the leading cause of cervical cancer), and you may* be eligible to start self screening at home. Self screening was shown to be as accurate as having samples taken in office, and HPV testing for the screening program was more sensitive (picked up more cases of cervical cancer) than our current PAP program. Ladies, if you haven’t been tested within the last 3 years, it’s time for screening - at home or in your MDs office (or ND if your provider offers it).
*if you’ve had previous abnormal test results or are symptomatic you may not be eligible for self home screening yet.

Someone you know and love has probably had abnormal results or go through cervical cancer even. Honour yourself and them and make sure to keep up on your screening 💕

Hello lovely people!

It is time for the yearly pre-Christmas update. Between now and the end of the year I have only 8 appointment spots left (30-45minute length). And space for only one more new patient, subject to availability depending on how quickly the other spaces fill up.
If you’re hoping to get a visit before your benefits expire this year, please be in touch as soon as possible. Yes I do have a cancellation list, but it’s not always guaranteed a spot will open up.

So, I hope to see you soon, but if our availability doesn’t align before Christmas, my January schedule is already open and available to book online.

I will be closed for the holidays Dec 21-Jan 2.

Important update re: Lab testing fees

Please note that Lifelabs has announced a fee increase taking effect shortly. Some of the increases are significant, while others are not too much… but the cost of all labs are going up.

Because I do not have a mark up on the tests ordered from Lifelabs, and lifelabs will not hold over the old costs on requisitions ordered before the price increases, I am requesting that if you have an outstanding requisition form to please make arrangements to attend the lab before the end of September. If you wait until October there may be additional fees that need to be paid.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

I’ve heard there’s some confusion if I’m taking a leave from work. I’m not! Another nearby ND with a similar name is taking some time away, but as for me? Just some time off here and there in the summer to go camping and visit family like normal!

In fact, because June is a month where so many people are busy, it’s also the BEST month for new patients wanting to come in because wait times are currently 1-2 weeks instead of 6-8 weeks! So if you’ve been thinking about booking in, this is your sign, now is the time! It’s also a great time for some Bowen therapy session to help your body release some stress, tension, and pain.

Finally, some of you might have noticed a new name and voice answering your emails and calls! I’ve got a new a patient care coordinator taking over for Sophia, who was with me for the last year. Now you’ll get a chance to speak with the amazing Danielle, who will take care of all your needs.

I think we are stocked right up with Tilia’s kids supplies at our house as we navigate the experience of a toddler attending a giant daycare. The germs are tough this year! And while our shelves are empty of kids medications in the pharmacies, Tilia can help get our kids through this time. Just remember if you’re ever questioning how your child is doing with their breathing or a fever you can’t get under control, please don’t hesitate to take them to see their doctor or to go to emergency if needed.
