Inclusion Policy
In Glorious by Heidi you will find an environment that is safe, kind and inclusive.
Read on to find out more about Heidi's policy on inclusion.
Mission
As mum to a young woman who has Down's syndrome and Autism, I know first hand how important it is for my daughter to feel seen and celebrated, and how rarely this happened when she was growing up.
I also know that the smallest of adjustments to how small businesses like mine operate can make a huge and positive difference to individuals who often feel less seen and celebrated due to their sexuality, gender identity and/or expression, size, age, ethnicity, neurodiversity, disability or religion.
For that reason I work very hard to make sure that from your first point of contact with me you feel that no matter who you are or who you love, I will respect you, celebrate your love and readiness to celebrate that love with others. I will respect your chosen pronouns, your gender identity, and your sexuality. I will strive to implement the adjustments you require from me to make your first hand experiences with me comfortable, and that means anything from putting systems in place for you to alert me of your need to take breaks during your accessory consultation, informing you of the access points to the building ahead of your face to face consultation session.
