Let's be honest...
Does this sound like you?
-
You want to serve travelers with disabilities or accessibility needs, but you're not always sure what questions to ask.
-
You worry about overlooking something important that could impact your client's trip.
-
You've been told a hotel or cruise is "accessible," but you don't know what that really means for your traveler.
-
You want to feel more confident making recommendations instead of hoping everything works out.
-
You know accessible travel is a growing specialty, but you're not sure where to start.
-
You want a simple framework you can use with every client—not just those who identify as having a disability.
You are not alone!
Early in my travel business, I worried I'd miss something important for a client with accessibility needs. Today, I have a simple framework that helps me ask the right questions every time.
Imagine Your Next Booking…
- Knowing exactly what to ask before recommending a hotel, cruise, or tour
- Identifying potential red flags before they become vacation problems
- Making recommendations with confidence instead of crossing your fingers
- Creating an experience your client can't wait to tell others about
That's the power of asking three better questions.

NICE TO MEET YOU
Like most travel advisors, I learned how to book travel.
What I didn't learn was how to plan accessible travel.
There was no training that showed me how to take everything I already knew about suppliers, destinations, and booking systems and apply it to travelers with accessibility needs.
That's when I called Michelle.
I knew I needed another person who understood both function and the realities of accessible travel. Michelle brings years of clinical experience, the perspective of traveling with a husband who uses a wheelchair part time, and raising three neurodivergent daughters.Â
We didn't set out create another travel advisor course. We wanted to create the bridge between occupational therapy and travel planning that we wished had existed when I started.

Don't just take our word for it...
"This course is extremely helpful in preparing you for the complex world of accessible travel. The preprinted forms also help simplify the planning process."
- Derrick Shockley, Travel Advisor
"The most valuable content in Travel Ready (for me) was the PDF infosheets, checklists, etc. Quick reference material is invaluable for how my brain works... I learned more specific language, like terms, example questions, etc., that I know will make me a better, more informed accessible travel specialist."
-Julia Houtchings, Rainbow Getaways

The Best Accessible Travel Plans Don't Start With Destinations.
They start with better questions.
As travel advisors, we're really good at learning suppliers, destinations, resorts, and booking systems. But none of those things tell us whether a trip will actually work for the person taking it.
That's what this framework is about.
Not memorizing every disability or knowing every answer.
Just learning to ask the questions that help you plan with confidence.
Because sometimes the difference between an okay trip and an unforgettable one isn't the destination.
It's the conversation you had before it was ever booked.
