It is deeply important to us to make our services and classes accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of their financial situation or ability to pay.

Our sliding scale structure helps to even out the structural inequalities that have historically limited who has had access to healing.

If you are are experiencing financial hardship due to being a member of a historically marginalized group, experiencing disability, being a caretaker, or lacking family support or a safety net, there are options for you to still be able to receive the care and education that can help you in your healing journey. Please make use of the sliding scale. It is here for you!

And on the other hand, if you are experiencing relative financial security, have some expendable income, have a safety net or a savings account, or are not afraid you’ll be able to pay for your basic expenses each month, you can pay higher on the scale in order to support my work and allow me to serve people with less financial means.

In times past, when I was personally struggling financially, being able to access care or education – because of scholarships or sliding scales – has made a huge difference in my life. I will always remember that and pay it forward by offering a sliding scale.

If taking one of our classes, or receiving bodywork would be a financial hardship, please utilize the sliding scale, or apply for a scholarship. Please remember that there is a difference between hardship and sacrifice, however. Most of us might have to make certain sacrifices in order to prioritize caring for our bodies or mental health. We might have to go out to eat less often during the months a class is in session, or while we are focusing on healing from a surgery or releasing long-held tension in our bodies. Please carefully consider where you fall on the scale and pay what you are able, so those most needing financial assistance can access it, even if that means shifting how you budget while you are coming for Mindful Self-Compassion classes or bodywork.
