Accessibility
Mobility
The clinic is ground floor with a 4 inch step to enter the front door. A portable ramp is available on request. There is an ADA accessible single-occupancy bathroom.
Positioning – Treatments can be performed standing, sitting, lying face up or down, side-lying, or in any other available position of comfort. A wedge pillow is available for semi-reclined positions.
Parking – Street parking is metered and is available typically within 1 block.
Air quality/chemical
HEPA filters are running in each room including the waiting room.
Patients are encouraged to avoid perfume or other scented products on appointment days, but the space cannot be guaranteed fragrance free.
I use fragrance free (including essential oils) hand sanitizer and hand soap between patients and personal care products at home. The treatment table is cleaned with Protex disinfecting wipes. Please let me know if you have any concerns about contact or respiratory allergens.
Size
The treatment table is a custom extra wide table, 33″ x 73″, with an 800lb weight capacity.
Sensory
Lighting – The waiting room and treatment room are both lit with lamps and natural light.
Sound – The office is on Lancaster Ave which is a busy street, so traffic noise is often audible. White noise machines are running outside each room.
Touch – Treatments are 100% tailored to each patient’s individual needs and can be modified to focus on or exclude any regions of the body or types of touch. Feedback before, during, and after sessions is encouraged.
Respiratory illness/COVID
I continue to wear a KN95 or higher filtration mask during all appointments. Patients are encouraged to similarly mask with exceptions for access needs or during treatment of the face. Masks are available for free at the office. Because there are multiple providers and sometimes group events sharing the waiting room, masking is not guaranteed in that space except on Tuesdays when masks are required.

These are general access notes and not meant to be an exhaustive list. If you have specific access needs or concerns not listed above, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
