accessibility
i am committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience across this website and the services offered through my practice.
i am continually working to make the website easier to access, understand, and navigate for people of different abilities and for those who use assistive technologies.
accessibility is an ongoing process. as this website, its technology, services, and third-party tools evolve, i will continue to consider accessibility and address identified barriers where reasonably possible.
accessibility standard
i use the web content accessibility guidelines (wcag) 2.2, level aa as a reference and accessibility target for this website.
this statement should not be interpreted as a representation that every page, feature, integration, or item of content currently conforms to every wcag 2.2 level aa success criterion.
instead, wcag 2.2 level aa informs my ongoing efforts to identify, prevent, and remediate accessibility barriers.
accessibility efforts
accessibility considerations for this website may include:
- providing text alternatives for meaningful images
- using clear page structure and semantic headings
- maintaining readable typography and appropriate visual contrast
- supporting keyboard navigation
- providing visible focus states for interactive elements
- using descriptive links, buttons, and navigation labels
- appropriately labeling forms and input fields
- providing understandable instructions and error messages
- allowing browser-based text resizing and zoom where supported
- avoiding content that unnecessarily flashes or rapidly moves
- considering reduced-motion preferences where applicable
- providing captions or text alternatives for important audio and video content where appropriate
- considering accessibility when adding new pages, features, booking tools, or interactive experiences
i may periodically review and update the site as accessibility issues are identified.
assistive technologies and browsers
this website is intended to work with commonly used current browsers, devices, operating systems, and assistive technologies.
these may include screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnification, voice-control technologies, browser accessibility settings, and other assistive tools.
because web technologies and assistive technologies vary considerably and are updated independently, i cannot guarantee that every combination of browser, device, operating system, user setting, or assistive technology will provide an identical experience.
if a particular technology prevents you from accessing information or functionality on this website, please contact me so i can attempt to provide an alternative means of access.
third-party services
certain functions of this website or the client experience may be provided through technology operated by third parties.
this may include booking or scheduling platforms, payment processors, embedded media, maps, social-media content, email forms, video players, analytics tools, or links to external websites.
i do not control the design, code, accessibility features, maintenance, or accessibility practices of independent third-party platforms.
the inclusion or use of a third-party service does not constitute a representation or guarantee that the third-party service will be accessible to every user or compatible with every assistive technology.
however, if a third-party service creates a barrier that prevents you from obtaining information, making a booking, purchasing a service, contacting me, or otherwise accessing an offering through my practice, please let me know.
where reasonably possible, i will work with you to provide the relevant information or service through an alternative method.
accessibility of classes, events, and services
accessibility is not limited to the website.
classes, private sessions, sound experiences, workshops, events, and other services offered through my practice may take place in a variety of locations, including spaces owned or operated by independent venues or clients.
physical accessibility, equipment, entrances, restrooms, seating, parking, sound environments, and other venue characteristics may therefore vary by location.
if you are considering attending an offering and would like information about accessibility or would like to request a reasonable accommodation, please contact me before the scheduled experience whenever possible.
i am happy to discuss what may reasonably be available for the specific venue, service, or event.
please do not send sensitive medical information unless you believe it is necessary for your request.
accessibility barriers
despite ongoing efforts, some portions of the website may occasionally contain accessibility limitations.
these may arise from newly added content, older material, technical errors, third-party integrations, browser or assistive-technology incompatibilities, or features that have not yet been identified as presenting a barrier.
the presence of this accessibility statement should not be understood as a guarantee that the website will be free from accessibility errors at all times.
if you encounter a barrier, i want to know about it so i can understand the issue and determine an appropriate way to address it.
