Sliding Scale
We live in a White supremacist, capitalistic, patriarchal society which unequally distributes privilege, power, and resources. I believe everyone deserves a high quality of life -- including access to amazing bodywork. In both acknowledgement and challenge of systemic inequality, I use a sliding-scale payment model. If the lowest end of the scale is inaccessible for you, please let me know and we will work something out together. I am open to payment plans, bartering, and occasional pro-bono sessions. I trust clients will honestly consider the guidelines below and offer payment proportionate to individual level of access, privilege, and resources.
60 minute: $50-100
75 minute: $70-120
90 minute: $100-150
*shorter and longer sessions available upon request*
Consider paying less if you...
experience economic discrimination due to racism
have significant debt
have immigration-related expenses
experience violence and discrimination due to being trans, queer, and/or intersex
are eligible for public assistance
are descended from enslaved people or Indigenous North Americans (I view my sliding scale as one way I can contribute to reparations)
live with chronic pain, illness, or disability
have employment barriers due to incarceration history
have medical expenses not covered by insurance
Accepted Payment: Cash, Venmo, Paypal
Consider paying more if you...
own your home
have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money
travel for recreation
work part-time or are unemployed by choice
have access to family money and resources in times of need
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.
