Rates

Sliding Scale

My rate is $250/hour. Sliding Scale rates starts at $50/hour.

I encourage those facing various forms of oppression to consider my $50-$250 rate range. Unsure where to begin? Please refer below to The Green Bottle Method (by Worts and Cunning Apothecary) as a tool to help you determine the appropriate rate based on your financial circumstances. This approach allows me to offer inclusive, accessible, and empowering support to a broader range of clients.

  • I have limited capacity for discounted sessions to ensure the sustainability of my business. Clients whose financial situation aligns with my full(er) rates help support my ability to offer services to those clients who may not be able to afford them, to engage in pro-bono work and to volunteer.

  • Consistency is key. I recommend a minimum 3-month commitment, regardless of frequency. Please reach out to discuss ongoing engagements/retainers—I'm happy to explore how to support you within any budget.

  • Extended sessions available upon request and availability.

I welcome clients across all budgets, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to connecting ➤
