⚖️ health equity

What is health equity?

Health is the absence of disease and equity can be defined as the quality of being fair and impartial. The World Health Organization states that “health equity is achieved when everyone can attain their full potential for health and well-being.” The unfortunate reality is that there are a number of racial, economic, political, environmental and other structural determinants that do not grant all humans equal access to healing and wellness services. There is so much work to be done to fight the discrimination that is embedded in so many institutional and system processes, but healsimple is committed to the following in hopes of setting a standard for small businesses in the wellness space:

1. Removing financial barriers by offering sliding scale payments for all 1:1 services and donation-based group sessions

2. Fundraising by partnering with organizations and making quarterly donations. Currently 100% of the donations from weekly meditation class will go to West Village Mutual Aid

3. Advocacy and raising awareness by having conversations with folks in the healing arts, encouraging fellow business owners to create accessible offerings and speaking out against the culture of spiritual manipulation occurring in the coaching/ healing community (my friend Eva does a great job educating about this in a hilarious way)
