Accessibility

Creating more access for more people

Freebird offers tiered pricing based on your resources. If you have more economic freedom, consider paying a higher rate to support those community members who need to pay less in order to access benefits of forest bathing.


Tier One:

If it’s a struggle to maintain access to needs such as health care, housing, child care etc and/or you live paycheck to paycheck/are in significant debt, this option is for you.  You deserve a community that honours your price as an equal economic offering as the person who can pay the highest tier. 

Middle Tier/True Cost:

If you are struggling to conquer debt or build savings or move away from paycheck to paycheck living but have access to steady income and don’t spend most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs, this is your range.

Pay it Forward:

If you are financially secure, you would not traditionally qualify for sliding scale services. If you are able to afford "wants" and spend little time worrying about securing necessities in your life, you have economic privilege and power in our community.  Your extra contribution helps cover the cost of those in the lower tier. 

If you have any further questions, please

I do not discriminate based on race, age, class, ability, body size, gender identity or presentation, sexual orientation, trauma history, lifestyle, occupation or religious background. I consider these all issues of accessibility and I take responsibility to prevent any discomfort. If anything comes up, I am open to suggestions for how to approach the situation in a way that is comfortable to you.
 

If you have difficulties with hearing and would prefer to have written/typed documents describing plans for the experience or session, please let me know in advance and I will make sure that is provided for you.

If you have trouble communicating otherwise, feel free to bring a friend, PA, translator etc.

At this time, only service dogs may accompany you on group forest bathing experiences. Well behaved dogs are welcome on private walks and in the treatment room for your bodywork sessions.

I am aware that any type of somatic work can bring up trauma feelings. If you'd like to disclose any triggers you may have (before, during or after the experience), we can find ways to talk about relaxation, anatomy and/or healing in ways that are most suitable for you. If something is elicited unexpectedly, we can stop anytime and take a break, reschedule or cancel your appointment. 

I am committed to providing a safe space for what comes up in a session. Private sessions are YOUR time. Community experiences are a brave space. There is an optional sharing component wherein we practice holding space for each other by listening in a non-judgemental, heart centred way - without responding or discussing.  If this does not feel good to you for any reason, you may certainly choose to not participate in this aspect of the forest bathing experience.

Trails are purposefully chosen to be as accessible as possible in terms of evenness and grade while keeping in mind that we are in nature and the trail will include roots, rocks and other unavoidable impediments.  Fully accessible wheelchair friendly excursions will be explicitly noted in the event invitation. Detailed description of the trail is available - please do get in touch for more information.  I am Wilderness First Aid trained and hold a valid CPR certificate.


I look forward to connecting with you soon, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
