Rosemarie Castro-Rosales , 39 , pleaded guilty to fraud under $5,000 and forgery.

She was accused of posing as a doctor performing massage therapy, holistic therapies and “quasi-medical techniques” She was sentenced to a two-year conditional discharge.

If she does not reoffend during that time, she will be spared a criminal record.

Castro-Rosales' anxiety was exacerbated by the “very publicized” nature of her case, Belzil said.

He ultimately agreed with the Crown and defence, saying he sees “no merit” in incarcerating her.

Under a conditional discharge, an accused can be subject to requirements similar to a probation order.

Specific conditions were not detailed in court.
