Sliding Scale

Consider paying less if you:

  • are a person who experiences racism directed at you 

  • are a person experiencing intimate partner abuse or domestic violence  

  • are descended from enslaved peoples or indigenous peoples

  • have regularly occurring medical expenses not covered by insurance

  • are a single parent supporting others on a sole income

  • are an elder with limited financial support

  • are a returning citizen who has been denied work due to incarceration history

  • are transgender or gay/queer and experience related discrimination and/or violence regularly

If you are on the lower end of the scale, thank you for affirming your resources and letting your community support you.

If you are on the higher end of the scale, thank you for circulating your resources and supporting more accessible care.

With gratitude, I have borrowed and adapted this model from Alexis J. Cunningfolk and Worts & Cunning Apothecary, Wild Women Wellness, and Lily James Bodywork.

In an effort to promote accessibility and encourage a system of community support, I offer a sliding scale pricing model for workshops and classes.

The sliding scale model thrives on trust in the good-faith assessment of personal economic reality. Being honest with yourself and your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale practices grows strong, equitable, and sustainable communities. It also respects the work of teachers and creators, like myself.

I am open to alternative value exchanges (bartering/trade), please contact me before registering if this is something you are interested in.

Consider paying more if you:

  • benefit from race or identity privilege

  • have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money

  • travel recreationally

  • have access to family money and resources in times of need

  • work part time by choice

  • have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education, gender privilege, racial privilege, class background, etc
