• Accessibility Info
We regret that Six Degrees is not currently wheelchair accessible. Our clinic is located on the second floor of a building without an elevator. There is one step from the sidewalk to the building’s front door, and a flight of 11 steps to our clinic. If you need assistance, please contact us.
We offer two all-gender washrooms. The smaller washroom is accessible to folks using canes and similar assistive devices. The larger washroom in the back of the clinic is accessible to folks using folding/non-folding walkers.
We use light blocking curtains in our front lobby and clinic during daytime hours; and we maintain low lighting during evening hours. Clients are welcome to use provided eye masks and earplugs while receiving treatments.
We ask clients not use scented products and respect our fragrance-free space but the clinic is not entirely scent free as we do use moxa and sage or other medicines to smudge.

Hours: 4 hours per week, regular weekly shift
