A day for the veterinary community
rest, refresh, rejuvenate
Once a month on a Sunday we open our doors to veterinarians and vet techs to come and enjoy some self care. They give so very much to our beloved companions we are moved to give back. This day is limited to the veterinary community...it's truly YOUR DAY!

New scheduling protocol for 2026
Discover Balance is owned by myself, Stephanie Whitchurch. I've been doing acupuncture in Vancouver for over 20 years. I expanded my business to it's current location in December of 2019 to offer more services for health and healing. Being an avid animal lover and hearing of how stressful the veterinary profession can be, I thought maybe I could be of service in some way.
Since it's inception Cristina Keef the executive director of PVMA and OVTTA has been instrumental in helping run this program. PVMA and OVTTA have stepped in along with TRUPANION to generously donate some financial support to help offset the cost of utilities and supplies. With the added financial support I am turning the scheduling over to PVMA and OVTTA. who will be the point of contact instead of Discover Balance.
