holistic consulting approach involves a thorough evaluation of all aspects of your business - from your office space, website and marketing materials, to your professional policies and practices.
We can provide consultation across a wide variety of settings and industries, including therapy practices, schools, medical and dental practices, OT/SLP/PT practices, non-profit organizations and profit-driven businesses. Whether you already specialize in working with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ folks, or just want to be more welcoming and inclusive, we provide you with a comprehensive plan to level up your affirming practices, and can work with you every step of the way to ensure that this vision becomes a reality for you, your staff and your clients.
Our customized consulting process begins with a comprehensive assessment, identifying all areas where you can enhance your organization’s inclusivity. This includes meeting with you and your staff to understand your specific business model, goals, and challenges. We then collaborate with you to develop a tailored plan that enhances your affirming practices. This plan can encompass various elements, including:
Training Programs: We offer specialized training programs designed to educate you and your employees on topics including best practices for becoming neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ affirming, anti-ableist and inclusive. These programs can be tailored to suit your profession and unique needs and objectives.

From hiring practices to employee support and training initiatives, to client intake procedures, we can work with you to establish policies that are effective and align with your organization's values.
Workspace Adaptations: We provide guidance on making physical adjustments to your workspace to ensure it is accessible, accommodating and welcoming for all employees and clients alike. We can help you make your space more affirming, sensory-friendly and gender-inclusive from the moment you walk in the door.
Marketing Strategies: Our consultants will review your website - from homepage to bios - and other marketing materials, to help you develop a marketing presence that reflects your neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ affirming practices. This includes crafting messaging that will resonate with a diverse audience of potential clients and demonstrate your dedication to affirming principles.
