Sliding Scale Pricing
My work at Sun Touch Bodywork hopes to be a part of a larger wave of making wellbeing accessible. For a 1 hr session our prices range from $80-$120 (pre-gratuity) with a trade aspect always welcome and open for negotiation. A fixed number of further discounted rates are available upon request each month with priority given to BIPOC. I accept payment preferably via cash but also via venmo, paypall, or cashapp at the beginning or end of our session. We don’t need to discuss where you fall on the sliding scale unless you would like to discuss a trade. You don’t need to pay the same amount from one session to another as I understand financial situations change.
How to use:
consider paying more on the scale if:
your ancestors have benefited from colonization
you are able to accumulate savings, travel for leisure, or work part time
you have access to family money and resources if needed
you can afford to help sustain my work
consider paying less on the scale if:
your ancestors have been systemically oppressed
you face discrimination, harassment, micro-aggressions
you have had limited financial support in your life
money is a barrier in accessing the care you need and want
This framework puts us into an interdependent mycelial type web as we exchange money, talents, services in a more dynamic and informed way!
if you are paying on the lower end of the range: thank you for affirming yourself and your resources and letting community in on that process. it’s an honor for the rest of us in our pursuit of collective wellbeing.
if you are in the mid range: thank you for taking care of yourself, including me in a significant aspect of your care team, and supporting my practice and the possibility of making wellbeing less cost-prohibitive.
if you are in the top range or above: thank you for boosting my practice and offering a space for others to receive care alongside you within this sliding scale model. thank you for circulating your resources and promoting the importance of collective wellbeing.
if you have a trade to negotiate: thank you for engaging with your valuable gifts in this context and offering them to make this whole exchange and network more vibrant.
(I am hugely grateful to Threshold Bodywork for their example and passion in a sliding scale framework. I am grateful for their sliding scale inspirations via Nasrene Kordani, Ride Free Fearless Money, Little Red Bird Botanicals and Pronia Coaching.)
