Fees
Radical Sliding Scale
My fee scale is listed in five tiers influenced by the Bottle Model of (Alexis J. Cunningfolk) and the Anti-Oppressive Rate Questionnaire shared by Oumou Sylla. This document was co-created by a group of anti-oppressive healers, coaches, and radical organizational influences. This scale allows those with greater social/financial advantages to supplement the fees of lower-paying folks.
Fees are set to compensate myself with maintaining a sound practice structured with small business operating costs, supervision/consulting fees, and continuing education to provide folks the best services possible.
We are not attempting to rank people’s inherent worth or existence – no experience is more valid than any other. These circumstances are listed because they often affect access to resources. I fully recognize that many if not all answers to the questions below are not as simple as “yes” or “no”. I welcome conversation around your experience taking the questionnaire, including emotions that come up. This is meant to be a used as guidelines rather than strict rules. You are welcome to adjust the fee given to how you understand your situation. We can discuss this further together in our first consultation or session.
To select a fee, keep a tally of the number of "yes's" and "no's" you have to the following questions.
*Please note, I do not always have lower tier spots available, but do hold a waitlist for these. Please let me know if this is something you’ll need.
