We will have designated scent-safer spaces at Harriet’s Apothecary.
Please be scent/fragrance-free to the extent that you are able to, so that beloved community members with chemical sensitivities can attend Harriet’s Apothecary. If you need support being scent/fragrence-free feel free to contact us at beatboxbotanicals@gmail.com or check out this great article by fellow love warrior Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha.
Bathrooms at Harriet’s Apothecary are designated All Gender.
Be aware and mindful of tone and language. Language and tone have often been used as oppressive barriers within spaces of care. Ask folks what language they prefer to ensure you are creating the best space with them.
Listen, encourage and affirm how people define their own understanding of healing and wellness and what they desire out of the healing session.
Do not make any assumptions about : disability/illness, background, gender pronouns, pre-existing knowledge of healing modalities (or anything!)
Be mindful about the questions that you ask. Refrain from asking questions that are intrusive, judgmental and/or outside of what you need to know to support their healing journey.
Make sure you receive consent before touching any one. Honor that peoples boundaries may change.
Honor peoples expressions of their identities. If you are unsure ask people their preference.
Please support us in making Harriet’s Apothecary more accessible to more people each season. If you have feedback, questions, or suggestions, or want to volunteer or help organize around access, please email beatboxbotanicals@gmail.com.
