Fragrance-Free Classroom Over time, as our environment has become more and more infused with artificial scents, odors and perfumes, many people have developed sensitivity and allergies to them, which affects 15-30% of the population. These people respond to these scents with headaches, rashes, difficulties breathing and other, often quite severe symptoms. To make the classroom a comfortable zone for all participants, we would request that each person review their use of fragrances in preparation for class. Specifically, we would ask that each person use fragrance-free laundry detergent, laundry softeners and dryer sheets and fragrance-free personal products like deodorant, soaps and lotions and refrain from using hairspray and perfume. If you do have a chemical sensitivity, please let Robbin Blake know in advance of class. You can contact her at 206.853.6875 or info@theratraining.comDirections - South on I-5:
