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!

HOW DOES THIS WORK EXACTLY??

General Information

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. 


I contacted Cristina Keef the executive director of PVMA and  OVTTA and offered to open my doors one Sunday a month. She  has been instrumental in getting this program up & running. As a business that opened right when COVID started Discover Balance has been working hard to stay open through all the financial hardships. PVMA and OVTTA have stepped in along with TRUPANION to generously donate some financial support to help offset the cost of utilities and supplies. PVMA and OVTTA  continue to supply art therapy crafts, snacks and drinks and cheerful help at every event.  

I appreciate these organizations and their dedication to the community, enabling me to make this vision a success. 


How to sign up

Because we are not open to the public on Sundays you must call, text or email us to get on the schedule. We will need your phone # for reminder texts, email for signing waivers online and your place of employment. 24 hour CANCELLATION strongly requested (that way we can offer that appointment to another person). If it is less than 24 hours please still let us know because no shows will be unable to schedule for 6 months after the no show. So PLEASE Call or text us!

This day is just for veterinary professionals, a community of people who share experiences in a demanding environment. Making this day free is not about a person's finances, but more about sharing a journey  to  renewal in a supportive environment.

IF you're floating and wear contacts, bring something to put them in.

Floating is typically done just as with the bath,  au naturale! You have the private room to yourself. 

Sauna you can dress down to whatever level you like.

IF you have an emergency or are sick please please text or call in and let us know, that way you can get on the schedule for another time. IF you no show and don't  call or text you will not be able to get on the schedule for 6 months. The sooner you cancel the better the chances that another person will be able to benefit from these events which only happen once a month.


You will always be able to access the Infrared Sauna/Halotherapy,  Mineral bath & Float rooms.  We make every effort to have massage each month  as well as acupuncture.  Each months offering will be posted on this page  as soon as we know who is donating what service. 


Please contact us, we often have some space that is not being used on these days, we would like to offer as many healing modalities as possible.
