The systems that we exist and work in are not just nor are they accessible.

I have now decided to offer my breathwork and herbal medicine offerings on a sliding scale.

I deeply believe that unless we decide to personally change the systems we exist within, live within and work with - then nothing will change. This especially applies to the spaces we create that are dedicated to personal and collective liberation.

Systematic oppression - be it financial, political, or racial restricts access to care.

We cannot be liberated unless we are sometimes given the right environments to do so. We are undergoing a process of turbulent pain and change, and the professionals offering modalities of healing are often too restrictive and expensive for most people to access. Low-cost QUALITY care is important, free care is also important. This is why I am offering a sliding scale service.

For this to work, I do not ask you to verify your income.

I ask for your honesty and trust.

Community and care can only thrive deeply when we are all held accountable.

1:1 Breathwork (90 mins) & Herbal Consultations (60mins)

If you are a single parent, have recently lost your job, are experiencing financial insecurity or have been displaced by an ongoing crises or war, can't afford the healthcare you need, and are struggling to maintain access to your needs please choose the lower end of the scale. If it is still prohibitive for you, please feel free to approach about a payment plan or potential bartering options. We can always find a solution to honor your economic reality.

If you are employed and are meeting your household needs but struggle to save please choose where you see is fit and reasonable. If you can ask others for financial support please consider asking family, friends etc. before using the resources of the sliding scale and limiting access to other people that do really need to use it.

If you are employed or are enjoying financial security, own property, have personal or generational wealth, can afford going out for dinners often, travel 1-2x a year, can afford a tattoo every now and then please choose the higher end of the scale. This is the true cost of the service and this price is for you if a sliding scale would not be offered.

There are a limited number of slots for services offered at the sliding scale, so please be mindful and honest as to what you can really pay. If you can pay the higher end of the scale but are choosing a lower one, you could be limiting one’s access to care and support. It also is a gesture of respecting my work as a creator and facilitator.

The decision to offer a sliding scale has been inspired by personal experience of witnessing through expensive trainings, workshops and 1:1 offerings just how restrictive access to mental health care can be.

I have witnessed countless people in dire situations around our region with no access to a safe space to process, be, breathe and release - just because the access was financially prohibitive. I credit the sliding scale referencing and help to Worts & Cunning Apothecary and Corpus Ritual. Feel free to read the detailed blog post on Sliding Scale: A Tool to Economic Justice.
