​ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
This statement was last updated on June 27, 2025.
We at EMBS WELLNESS [this is an online moniker for the sole proprietorship owned by and registered under the name of Emily M. Bagot-Sideen] are working to make our site https://embswellness.wixsite.com/homepage accessible to people with disabilities.
What web accessibility is
An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.
Accessibility adjustments on this site
We have adapted this site following WCAG guidelines, and have made the site accessible to the best of our ability. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also:
-
Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues
-
Set the language of the site
-
Set the content order of the site’s pages
-
Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages
-
Added alternative text to images
-
Implemented colour combinations that meet the required colour contrast
-
Reduced the use of motion on the site
-
Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible
Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content.
The accessibility of certain pages on the site depends on content that does not belong to the organization, and instead belong to Wix and the particular designer of this template. We therefore declare partial compliance with the standard for these pages.
Accessibility arrangements in the organization.
The service provider & sole proprietor, Emily Bagot-Sideen, makes all possible effort for mental health counselling & therapy services to be accessible. Some elements of the company's practice are outside of its control as they are paid for and outsourced to third-party organizations or companies. These third parties include Owl Practice Inc., Linktr.ee, Instagram, Wix, and Creative Connections Therapy.
​
The physical office location at 962 Westminster in Winnipeg, Manitoba may not be wheelchair accessible for some wheelchair users. There are two (2) parking spots located in the back of the building and can be reserved on request by the client. There is a waiting room for individuals waiting with/for multiple clients (i.e., minor or those requiring transportation assistance).
​
If you have any accessibility concerns or suggestions to improve the overall practice, including in-session, virtual and in-person sessions, etc., please contact Emily Bagot-Sideen. Concerns regarding the physical office space may also be directed to Creative Connections Therapy and its owner.
