At 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕰𝖘𝖘𝖊𝖓𝖈𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖗𝖎𝖙, accessibility is more than compliance. It is about care, connection, and community. As an Indigenous and Latina-owned business rooted in healing, we honour the inherent worth and dignity of all people.
We are committed to making our website, services, and offerings as accessible and inclusive as possible for everyone, including people with disabilities. We strive to create spaces that are welcoming, flexible, and responsive to different bodies, abilities, needs, and ways of engaging.
We view accessibility as an ongoing practice and an essential part of reconciliation, decolonization, and community care. If you encounter any barriers while accessing our website or services, we welcome your feedback and will do our best to support your access needs.
What web accessibility is
Web accessibility ensures that all visitors, regardless of ability, can access and use our website with clarity and ease. We are actively working to make our website compatible with assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice recognition software, screen magnifiers, and keyboard-only navigation.
Accessibility adjustments on this site
We have adapted our website in alignment with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. As part of this commitment, we have taken the following steps to improve accessibility and usability:
• Used the Wix Accessibility Wizard to identify and address accessibility issues
• Added alternative text to images
• Adjusted colour contrast and colour combinations to meet accessibility standards
• Reduced motion for individuals with vestibular sensitivities
• Ensured videos and audio content are accessible where possible
• Set page language and headings to support clarity and screen reader use
• Reviewed keyboard navigation and overall site usability
Cultural Understanding of Accessibility
In our community work, we understand accessibility through a holistic and relational lens. This includes:
• Trauma-informed design that reduces overwhelm and offers grounding visual elements
• Language justice through the use of clear, plain English to support cognitive accessibility
• Honouring diverse ways of knowing through visual, auditory, and embodied content
• Accessible healing offerings such as sliding scale online workshops for remote communities
We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing practice. We welcome feedback and remain committed to listening, learning, and improving with care and accountability.
If you experience any accessibility barriers on this site or have suggestions for improvement, we encourage you to contact us. We value feedback as part of our commitment to relational accountability and ongoing care.
