about the space and building

• The entranceway of the Duncan building has a keypad and requires that you buzz #516 in order to gain access. Please arrive no more than 5 minutes before your session as I do not have a waiting room and the buzzer is set to do not disturb during client sessions.

• Please let me know in advance if you’d like assistance entering the building. The door is quite heavy.

• Take either the stairs or elevator to access the 5th floor. The elevators are small but can accommodate a chair or scooter.

• There is free 2hr parking for International Village Mall customers across the street as well as affordable paid parking on adjacent streets (east on Pender or south on Abbott or on Hastings St around the corner) or nearby parkades.

• The building is close to bike routes and you are welcome to bring your bike into the treatment room.

• Nearest bus routes: 4, 7, 114, 16, 19, 22, 20, R5, 209, 211, 214. Closest train station: Stadium-Chinatown (3-5 minute walk).

• The common space is not always scent free but the treatment space is. Please refrain from wearing perfumes and scents as I and many of my clients are sensitive.

• Lighting is adjustable with either natural light or lamps and double-layered curtains on the windows.

• Some background building noise can be heard from neighbours, the building’s fans, A/C unit, and radiator.

• There is minimal street noise as the suite faces the building’s courtyard, though there may be faint sounds from trucks or emergency vehicles.

• Washrooms are semiprivate (two stalls), gendered, and require a key. There is a step up at their entrance, so they are—regrettably—not accessible by wheelchair. There are restrooms located nearby in International Village Mall.
