What People Are Saying

This Anti-ableist training was both timely and engaging for our team. Even a few months after participating, the content regularly comes up in discussions while we're working with clients and creating professional development with our community partners. This indicates this training's ability to transcend the challenge of learning evaporation. Meaning, the way the facilitators lead the group through 'storylines' and the thoughtful themes have us continually thinking critically about our team's ability to work to overcome embed ableist practices and language well after the initial excitement typically wears off. I was encouraged by the idea that perfection is the enemy of good - that the awareness and commitment to meaningful action may not be moving toward entire eradication of ableism but I can still participate in a powerful movement toward inclusive environments and interactions with our clients. Thank you so much to the facilitators for this important training. I highly encourage all organizations to engage with this workshop to move toward true cultures of belonging.

“I'm really glad that they told us that it was okay to make mistakes.”


Student, Vancouver School Board, age 12 (2023)

"This is a resource that every brand needs to bring to their teams. Shawna and Elisabeth created an incredibly safe (but candid) space to explore the oh-so-frequent stereotypes and barriers that the disabled community experiences, enabling and motivating our teams to move towards a more inclusive experience with our brand."


Jessica Foley, Brand Marketing Manager, lululemon (2023)

"This workshop was powerful and insightful from start to finish. The workshop was so dynamic and they did a fantastic job of creating an inviting and safe space. I highly recommend these two amazing women of IX!"


Christy Goertz, Capilano University, Instructor (2023)

"This workshop was one of the most thought provoking and meaningful I've ever attended in my career. As a neurodivergent queer woman with a non-visible chronic illness, I really appreciated how Shawna and Elisabeth prioritized creating and maintaining a safe and judgement-free container for participants to engage in deep reflection, vulnerable conversations, and accountability around anti-oppression. There was no pressure to aggressively unpack systemic and institutional ableism and other forms of oppression, but rather a series of gentle invitations to reflect on our own biases and privilege, challenge misinformation, harmful narratives and stereotypes, and discuss how our misconceptions might be upholding "blind spots" that could impact our work with our teams, as well as in the community. This workshop provided a beautiful opportunity to take first steps towards shifting perspectives, and collaborating with colleagues to plan tangible actions for advocacy and improvement . I would recommend this workshop to any professionals, no matter where they're at in their journey of unlearning and growing, as it's sure to be a rich learning opportunity that will spark important conversation and positive change."


Staci Duhaime, Children Treatment sector (2025)

This experience totally changed my perspective! I have a much deeper appreciation for my own biases and how they can impact others and my interactions with them. I will actively work to see these in myself and others - and respectfully speak up.

Carole Moore, Chief Operating Officer, Oakville Trafalger Memorial Hospital/ Halton Healthcare (2024)

I strongly recommend that anyone and everyone take a workshop with Inclusive Experiences if you have the opportunity. The amount of care and attention to detail that Shawna and Elizabeth included far exceeded my expectations. Let this workshop be the impetus for starting these critical conversations in your workplace.

Sophie Stasyna, Children Treatment sector, rural Canada (2025)

Working with Inclusive Experiences was an absolute dream! The workshop was so thoughtful and nuanced, but delivered in a very easy-to-understand way. I'm looking forward to future conversations about how we action this work at our different sites!

Samantha David, Director TREDIA Relationships and Initiatives (2024)

Excellent facilitation skills from a passionate, informed and competent team that works so well together, engaging learners through real stories, real data, real reflection and real action. One of the best learning experiences I have had in many years-with intention for learning shifting to action!


Participant, Empowered Kids Ontario Leadershift Conference (2023)

"Personal, real, authentic, and inspiring!"


Anonymous Attendee (2025)

Honestly, this was probably the best training workshop I've ever been in--I learned a lot and while we didn't leave with a "to-do" list, I'm glad that we have to figure out what ableism and accessibility looks like in our own spheres and contexts. I feel empowered to start to recognize how ingrained ableism is in our programs, and start working towards reducing barriers for folks with disabilities. I really appreciate the time and energy that went into making this workshop targeted to our network organization specifically.
