SLIDING SCALE
​​
Bodywork should not be a luxury. I believe everyone should have access to massage and feeling good in their body.
​​​​
​
My sliding scale is a community practice to make regular bodywork sessions accessible to marginalized folks who would otherwise would not able to afford these services, especially those who are chronically ill, those who do not come from generational wealth, and the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.
​
Sliding scale is a community practice to create better access to care and prioritizes quality of life for all.​ It is not a discount session. Everyone receives the same high level of care and attention that someone paying full price receives.
​​
​
​
Sliding scale is a range around the full price.
Sliding scale is a practice for participation by everyone - folks who are unable to pay full price, AND folks who are able to pay more than full price. That is what makes this practice sustainable.
When you are able to pay more than full price for your massage, you are supporting the whole system so that people who need it are able to receive care at a lower price.
​
As long as we all participate honestly, I am able to offer sliding scale while keeping my business sustainable and long living. ​
​​

To keep my business sustainable and long living, I can take on 6 monthly sliding scale clients who fall within the Lower/Bottom and Low/ Middle ranges.
​
Please be aware that if you are using sliding scale dishonestly, as a way to get a discount, you are taking an opportunity away from someone who’s only way to receive these services is sliding scale. Please consider this.
If you’ve determined you fall in the lower ranges, Please sign up by clicking the button below, and I’ll send you a booking link when space becomes available! I’m looking forward to seeing you!
​​
If you’ve determined you fall in the higher/top range, and you’d like to be a supporter, consider offering a pay-it-forward to create access to my services for those who need it. You will be helping others move toward living pain free with more ease in their body and beings, and creating a balance in quality of life.
Pay it forward by clicking the Venmo Me button at the bottom of this page. These funds will always be directly counted toward opening space for additional sliding scale slots in my calendar! Thank you!
Thank you for making community care a living and breathing part of the better world we imagine, create, and build together! By participating in sliding scale, you are participating in an anti-capitalist business practice, where quality of life becomes more accessible and prioritized for all.
