Equitable Pricing
Everyone should be able to access the care they deserve.
As of May 2023, I proudly offer equitable, pay-what-supports-you pricing for services including 1:1 support!
I do not currently have “set” equitable pricing tiers or rates, but, below, I do offer you a “suggested rate” for each service that you should consider based on your financial situation. This means you can choose a rate that works for you, factoring in the below guidelines. My “suggested rates” are inspired by the Green Bottle Model from Worts + Cunning.
I do not ask for income verification. I trust my students and clients to be honest.
✦
Here’s how the Green Bottle Model works:
The standard rate is the actual cost of the service. If you choose a rate below the top tier you are receiving a discount.
The middle rate/range is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this program or service may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship.
The bottom rate/range is for those who may struggle to meet basic needs and paying for this program or service would still be a significant hardship.

**Full price rate**
If you have access to financial security, own property, or have personal savings
if you are able to pay for “wants” and spend little time worrying about securing necessities in your life;
if you have economic privilege and power in our community, this price is for you.
By paying full price for the program, you are “paying it forward” and contributing to a more equitable world by supporting program access for those with less.
$315.00/month x 3 months
or
one-time payment of $850.50
✦
This rate is for you if…
- You may be paying off debt or working to build savings, but you also have access to steady income.
You do NOT spend most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc.
Making this investment might mean you might have to cut back on some discretionary spending in your life (such as going out to dinner, buying coffee, buying a new outfit, or going on vacation), but the sacrifice is short-term, and will not harm you in the long term.
$140.00/month x 3 months
or
one-time payment of $378.00
✦
This rate is for you if…
You have access to basic needs such as food, housing, and childcare, though sometimes it may feel difficult.
You are able to put away money each month to save up to be able to pay for the program, but the middle tier price would mean that you have to save for longer than 12 months.
