If you are on the lower end of the scale, thank you for honoring your resources and letting your community care for you.
If you are on the higher end of the scale, thank you for circulating your resources and supporting more accessible care.
Resources are not distributed equally nor equitably, this isn’t okay, but it’s reality, and it’s what this scale is attempting to account for: the spectrum of experience related to resource & access.
Financial situations change and your price choice may vary session to session. I will never question or ask you about your pricing choice.
I am grateful for this pricing model, adapted from Planetary Tides, Lily James Bodywork, Worts and Cunnings Apothecary, and many others who have helped pave the way for a more equitable approach to offering services within capitalism.
Pay-what-works
Pay-what-works sessions are available for clients who would not otherwise be able to afford a session with the above rates. These sessions are available for any amount starting at $40 which covers my rent and basic expenses.
I offer two of these sessions per month. If you would like to be added to the pay-what-works client email list, please reach out to me.
