Fragrance-Free Policy

Call 510-594-8224

Some studies show that up to a third of Americans are allergic or sensitive to fragrances.

To protect the health of your therapist and teacher, and to increase disability access for all who use the space, please come to your appointment fragrance-free.

Please do not smoke the day of your appointment, and wear only clothes that have not been used for smoking.

Please do not use

• perfume,
• cologne,
• aftershave,
• essential oils,
• or dryer sheets.

Please use only personal products that say "fragrance free" or "free and clear".  Products to use with fragrance-free mindfulness include:

• shampoo and hair products
• laundry soap
• lotion and sunscreen
• nail polish or remover used on the day of appointment.
  
• chapstick and makeup
  

Thank you for protecting the health of your therapist and teacher and allowing me to continue to be of service to you and others. Deep bows.

Dr. Bronner's unscented and baby unscented soap, chapstick
Plain jojoba oil, you can put it in a new spray bottle for hair
