More on the self-selecting sliding scale and how to determine your contribution amount....
This work is offered through a self-selecting sliding scale, based on comparable wellness services in our area, for a limited number of clients each month. There is a wide spectrum of price options to support a diverse array of community members.
Full-fee, 60 minute sessions start at $125 for the hour when purchased in packages of 6.

- The questions* below may guide you in considering your contribution amount.
- Additionally, you might reflect on the prices that you pay for other things in your life that are specialized and of immense value to your quality of life (other practitioners you work with, dining out, exercise classes, mechanics, plumbers, etc). This reflection will help you determine your contribution amount for each session.
This sliding scale is one small gesture in affirming your deep intuitive knowing and its place in partnership with others. this will be paramount to our ongoing work together.
Consider Paying Less On The Scale If You:
⫸ are supporting children or have other dependents
⫸ have significant debt
⫸ have medical expenses not covered by insurance
⫸ receive public assistance
⫸ have immigration-related expenses
⫸ are a person with limited financial support
⫸ are an unpaid community organizer
Consider Paying More On The Scale If You:
⫸ own the home you live in
⫸ have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
⫸ travel recreationally
⫸ have access to family money and resources in times of need
⫸ work part-time by choice
⫸ have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education (or gender and racial privilege, class background, etc.) Even if you are not currently exercising your earning power, I ask you to recognize this as a choice.
⫸ are willing to subsidize another person’s session by paying more
Please be mindful that if you purchase a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the higher prices, you may be limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility. Being honest with yourself and your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale practices grows strong and sustainable communities. It also respects the work of practitioners and creators, like me, who have to soulfully balance the practice of selfless service and the quest for financial stability. Lastly, when I am paid fairly, I am able to invest more time and resources to free and lower-cost offerings.
All of that said, trust yourself to make an honest assessment, and trust me to receive your contribution unconditionally and with a kind heart.
