Cost & Sliding Scale


How much does a session cost?

Non-members pay per session depending on the service, which ranges from $50-$375. Current Membership costs are here, new offerings to be announced through 2024.

Does you accept insurance to cover costs?

Insurance will likely cover routine bloodwork. Consultation fees are not covered by insurance.

What about your sliding scale?

A sliding-scale is a tool for social justice. It enables people to access services or goods who would endure hardship if they had to purchase at its market value. Sliding scales rely on the truthfulness, respect for complexity, and accountability of both the client and the provider. I operate at a 100-75-50% three-tiered sliding scale of the true cost.

Below is a great description of the tiers by Alexis J. Cunningfolk of Worts & Cunning.

  • The highest dollar cost reflects the true cost of the class or service. It is the cost that the practitioner would charge all students in the absence of a sliding scale. If you have access to financial security, own property or have personal savings, you would not traditionally qualify for sliding scale services. If you are able to pay for "wants" and spend little time worried about securing necessities in your life, you have economic privilege and power in our community. This price is for you.

  • The middle cost (when there is one) reflects the practitioner's acknowledgement that paying the full cost would prevent some folks from being able to attend, but who do not honestly find themselves reflected in either descriptions for the highest cost or the lowest. If you are struggling to conquer debt or build savings or move away from paycheck to paycheck living but have access to steady income and are not spending most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc., you belong here. If you, however, can ask others for financial support, such as family members, partners, or friends, please consider using those personal resources before you use the resources of the sliding scale and limit opportunities for others.

  • The bottom cost represents an honest acknowledgment by the teacher and practitioner that there are folks whose economic circumstances would prevent them from being a part of classes if there was not be a deliberate opportunity made for them to access services at a cost that is reflective of their economic realities. If you struggle to maintain access to needs such as health care, housing, food, child care, and are living paycheck to paycheck or are in significant debt, you belong probably belong here and you deserve a community that honors your price as equal an economic offering as the person who can pay the highest tier. Even when the lower tier is still prohibitive, I will work with folks to offer extended payment plans and other solutions.
