Fragrance reactivity is real — and it impacts millions 🌿

The American Medical Association (AMA) now officially recognizes that exposure to perfumes and scented products can seriously affect health and quality of life

Creating scent-safe spaces isn’t just policy — it’s inclusion

This is why our clinic has been scent-free since it was founded in 2015

It means everyone can enter, breathe, and belong 💚

Check out the work of the Fragrance Free Coalition as they advance awareness and promote helpful policies in this area
