Accessibility

While Bodywork with Aera would love to accommodate as many people as possible, there are considerations you should make before booking an appointment. We've written down the accessibility points here and hope it is informative. 

Have questions? Need clarification? Please reach out to us!

1. Aera does not know ASL (American Sign Language) but can accommodate Deaf/Hard of hearing folx with written communication and clear body language. Aera will not be able to remove their mask for lip reading. We are working on finding protective N95 masks with a clear window to make communication easier for lip readers. 



3. The massage table is an ADA compliant hydraulic table. The table's weight limit as advised by the manufacturer is 600lbs. It goes as low as 18". 

4. We have a table warmer, and the ambient temperature is controlled in the room, not by the building. 

5. We have a large comfortable chair to accommodate most body sizes.

General Accessibility Points:

1. The building does not have an elevator for access.

2. There are 3 methods of entry. The first method requires stairs to the porch, and then once inside, stairs down  to the basement. The second method bypasses the stairs to the porch and half of the stairs down to the basement. The third method will bypass stairs completely. The last 2 methods require me to meet you and let you in. The first method you can be buzzed in.

3. There are single occupancy bathrooms on every floor with touch-less fauctets and soap dispensers.

​

4. Bodywork with Aera is a scent-free & low-tox practice. Aera doesn't wear perfume or fragrances. We do not use essential oils or spray scents in the space. The exception to this is the use of Biofreeze which has menthol, on request for aches & pains.
