Accessibility Statement for The Sacred Spine

The Sacred Spine is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continuously improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to ensure our holistic wellness resources, services, and booking tools are fully inclusive.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

The Sacred Spine is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the strict accessibility standard, such as ongoing design optimizations for mobile viewports and screen-reader specific image descriptions.

• HTML

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

Limitations and Alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility across all pages, some limitations may exist due to our specialized visual design layout. Below is a description of known limitations and alternative solutions:

1. Image-Based Section Headers: Some section titles are styled within images to maintain a fluid, high-end visual layout on mobile devices (such as iPhones). These images may not be fully interpreted by older screen-reading software. We are actively auditing and adding descriptive Alt Text to all images to resolve this.

2. Third-Party Booking Forms: Elements of our digital intake and session request forms rely on third-party plugins. While we monitor these for usability, we cannot fully control external code structures.

Alternative Booking Method
