Sliding Scale

I offer sliding scale pricing for my services for a number of reasons. For one - I personally know how incredibly difficult getting affordable healthcare services can be, and the obtainment of energy healing as well as clinical herbal services is no different. I also know the blessing of being able to obtain services on a sliding scale when I've otherwise been struggling financially. It's my sincere belief that complementary medicinal services should be both accessible and affordable. 

I am limited in how many sliding scale spots I feel I can have open at one time, however. This is not done out of greed, but because I have bills to pay that I need to make sure I can afford (and both energy healing nor clinical herbal services are usually covered by insurance). As I feel I become more able to open up more sliding scale spots, and previous people on a sliding scale are no longer considered active clients, sliding scale spots will become open again. As an alternative as well if you can afford it, Shopify also offers payment plans through ShopPay for purchases over $50 (which also helps ensure I am paid in full prior to a session or consultation while you are making payments).

My judgement for sliding scale pricing is as follows:

I may have you pay full price if:

• You can generally afford healthcare services easily in addition to your day-to-day costs of living.
• Finances are not usually a worry for you.
• You do not have a chronic or potentially terminal illness.
• You do not have any life factors preventing you from your ability to pay for services.

I can offer you a small amount (25%) off if:

• If you are currently struggling a little bit between affording healthcare services and your day-to-day expenses, but don't usually count yourself as having extreme difficulty.
• You feel you need to be slightly conservative with your finances to afford your usual costs of living.
• You do not have a chronic or potentially terminal illness, or if you do that only somewhat impedes your ability to pay for services.
• You are temporarily unemployed or between jobs.

I can offer you a moderate amount (50%) off if:

• You feel you usually have a choice to make between affording healthcare services and your day-to-day expenses at once, and don't feel usually able to afford both.
• You somewhat often feel you need to be conservative with your finances to afford your usual costs of living.
• You have a chronic or potentially terminal illness, and that frequently is a factor in your ability to pay for services.
• You are moderate-to-low income, temporarily unemployed, or between jobs.

I can offer you a substantial amount (75%) off if:

• You feel you usually have a choice to make between affording healthcare services and your day-to-day expenses at once, and don't feel usually able to afford both.
• You feel you have to be very conservative with your finances to afford your usual costs of living.
• You have a chronic or potentially terminal illness, and that frequently is a factor in your ability to pay for services.
• You are either very low income, or unemployed in the long-term.
