Equitable Pricing

I am dedicated to creating a practice that integrates individual healing with community healing. I recognize that one is not truly possible without the other. This model started out as an experiment with the private practice, Our Collective, and I have continued to use this model in my own practice. I am continuously learning how to create an equitable pricing model that supports the sacred energetic exchange of healing. As I learn more, this model is intended to change to better support communities of healing.

Locating Yourself Within This Model

White supremacy and capitalism creates a deep sense of scarcity - that there needs to be a hoarding of resources to create power over others. In healing from trauma, we uplift the impact of these systems and collectively move towards building community through shared, collective resources.

Surviving in this system of scarcity, equity can feel incredibly uncomfortable. Financial safety allows us to meet our basic and collective needs. Within this system, those with privilege and access may find themselves deeply uncomfortable with providing "more" financial support than others. So when clients are asked to locate themselves within the equitable pricing model, the intention is for clients not to find a rate that they would prefer to pay, but to locate a rate that is closest to the flat rate that is accessible to them. We want this model to be able to serve those that would not be able to access mental health care, health care, or other basic human necessities. The model is intended to have everyone who can pay the market rate to do so, even if this means changing your budgeting, so the reduced fee slots are reserved for those who would not be able to access therapy or breathwork without the reduced rate.

Currently, this model is based on identifying oneself through the intersections of identity, access, and resources. Due to my schedule, capacity, and needs, there may be times that I am not able to work with individuals at a reduced rate but am always happy to provide referrals to individuals that may be able to offer a reduced rate or other additional resources. Please reach out if you have any questions or suggestions.

Individuals choose this rate when they don't want to engage with the equitable pricing model or are able to meet their basic needs comfortably along with a few expendable wants budgeted in.
