Payment Info

Grounded in accessibility, inclusion and economic justice for everyone.

Embracing a spirit of generosity and reciprocity while assuring offerings are sustained for the future.

Letting go of a transactional mindset and inviting a relational, interdependent mindset to guide financial commitments.

A Tiered-Payment Structure

I intentionally use a sliding-scale, tiered payment structure, since I believe spiritual formation and spiritual companionship should be accessible to all, no matter one’s financial situation. I hope my sliding scale, along with those of other practitioners and organizations, might offer one small contribution towards furthering greater economic justice and access to holistic care. I hope to embrace a spirit of generosity and reciprocity in my work, while also being able to sustainably offer my services. I encourage dialogue regarding any of the below information.

This sliding-scale payment model allows you to select the payment level that aligns with your current financial circumstances. I ask that you please read all the information in each drop down menu regarding the payment tiers in order to best decide which tier aligns with your financial circumstances. I trust your decision and there is no need to justify why you chose the one you did.

I also understand that financial circumstances are fluid, so your payment tier might change during our time working together. That’s perfectly okay. Please feel free to come back to this page as circumstances change.

Please also note that the pricing includes the time for preparation, the actual session, follow-up and private practices expenses, such as health insurance for the practitioner(s).

If the amounts below are outside your resource availability at this time, please contact me here and we can discuss an alternative. I am also open to discussing non-monetary exchanges of services/offerings, if that is something you would like to propose.

Determining Your Payment Tier

Please read all the information in each drop down menu regarding the payment tiers in order to best decide which tier aligns with your financial circumstances.

*This sliding-scale model is based on Alexis J. Cunningfolk’s pricing model and the language in the drop-down menus above is credited to her. You can also learn more about the differences between “financial sacrifice” and “financial hardship” by clicking on the link above.

Soulful Work Mentoring Session (one-hour):

The fees will also be on a sliding scale, but will depend on whether the individual employee is paying for the session(s) or if the employer is sponsoring the sessions as part of the employee’s professional development. If it’s the former, the sliding scale will be based on the individual’s financial circumstances (see the tiered payment structure in the above drop down menus). If it’s the latter, and the employer is paying, then the sliding scale will be based on the organization or company’s size and budget.

Payment Details:

Payments are currently received via Zelle (an electronic payment system that most major banks offer) or by check. This allows us to avoid the 3-5% credit card processing fees that can increase the price for the client and the practitioner.
