CTCMPAO 2026

The Member was found to have committed professional misconduct involving non-consensual sexual touching and inappropriate messages directed at students and a junior employee.

At the penalty hearing, the College sought revocation while the Member sought a 3-4 month suspension.

The Discipline Committee imposed a 6-month suspension, a reprimand, and mandatory ethics courses, noting the serious nature of the boundary violations and exploitation of power imbalances, balanced against the Member's lack of prior discipline history.

The Committee also ordered the Member to pay $50,000 in costs.

The College alleged that the Member participated in a fraudulent billing scheme where her clinics submitted over 130 false or partially false insurance claims to Sun Life using the credentials of a registered massage therapist without her knowledge.

The Discipline Committee found that the Member, as the clinic owner and a regulated professional, was responsible for the billing practices and had exclusive access to the bank accounts receiving the funds.

The Committee concluded that the College proved all allegations of professional misconduct, including failing to maintain standards of practice, submitting false accounts, falsifying records, and engaging in disgraceful, dishonourable, and unprofessional conduct.
