Our Commitment to Accessibility and Healing

At Yowa Institute, we recognize that systemic barriers have historically limited access to holistic healthcare and ancestral knowledge for Black, Indigenous, Queer, and disabled communities. Our commitment to healing extends beyond traditional service models, rooted in a deep understanding of collective liberation and community care.

Sliding Scale Pricing

We offer a compassionate sliding scale pricing model to ensure our services remain accessible to historically marginalized communities:

• Black and Indigenous Participants

• LGBTQIA+ Community Members

• Individuals Experiencing Disability

Bartering and Alternative Payment Arrangements

Understanding that economic justice is multifaceted, we offer alternative payment options at the discretion of our Founder and Owner, Aaliyah OyaSeeke. Bartering may be considered as a form of exchange, recognizing the diverse forms of value and skill that community members bring.

Bartering Guidelines

• Proposed exchanges will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis

• Value of services will be determined through collaborative dialogue

• Final approval rests with Aaliyah OyaSeeke

How to Discuss Accessibility Options

Individuals interested in sliding scale or bartering options are encouraged to:

• Reach out directly to our administrative team

• Engage in an open, compassionate dialogue about their circumstances

• Work collaboratively to find a mutually supportive solution

All discussions regarding accessibility options are treated with the utmost respect, confidentiality, and care.
