Dawn’s professional designation as a registered social worker and training at the Masters level means sessions may be eligible for coverage through traditional extended health plans; but her grounding in the eight limbs of yoga is what makes her approach to counselling unique. Counselling sessions may also be covered under FNHA, CVAP, ICBC, or AFU funding as Dawn is a registered provider with these funding bodies.
