Purpose of the Sliding Scale
My sliding scale exists to make this work accessible while supporting a sustainable livelihood for me as a teacher and coach—and to allow me to offer teaching and guidance to populations with more limited access to resources (e.g., youth, educators).
As we know, people in the U.S. have very different levels of access to financial resources, and this disparity has only been growing in recent years. This sliding scale is my small attempt to name and address that reality. I also recognize that even the lowest rate is out of reach for many. For this reason, I offer a limited number of additional scholarships and am continuing to develop lower-cost group and donation-based offerings.
Please choose the rate that reflects both your current financial reality and your broader access to resources (income, savings, family or generational wealth, investments, home ownership, etc.). No system is perfect—please select the rate that feels fair and aligned with your values and with the value you place on our work together.
Below are suggested guidelines.
Tier Guidelines (based on income + wealth)
$200 — Supported Rate
Choose this rate if you:
- Have household income under ~$100k
- Have limited savings or minimal generational wealth
- Are financially supporting children, elders, or dependents
- Have medical or caregiving costs that significantly impact your budget
- Are experiencing temporary financial strain
This rate is partially subsidized by clients who pay at higher tiers.
$250 — Standard Rate
Choose this rate if you:
- Have household income between ~$100k–$250k
- Have some savings, retirement, or investment accounts
- Can comfortably meet your needs but have meaningful financial commitments (mortgage, childcare, student loans, etc.)
- Paying this rate would require some trade-offs, but would not cause hardship
- You want to support equitable access while also honoring your own budget boundaries
This rate reflects the full value of the work while balancing sustainability and access.
$300 — Sustaining Rate
Choose this rate if you:
- Have household income above ~$250k
- Have significant savings, investments, or generational wealth
- Own a home (or multiple homes) and have meaningful financial stability
- Your family is financially secure even if you stopped working
- Paying at the highest tier creates no meaningful sacrifice
- You want to support me in offering lower-cost access to others
This tier helps subsidize lower-cost sessions, free and group offerings and supports the long-term sustainability of my work.
Choose the $225 or $275 rates if you find yourself falling somewhere in the middle of one of these tiers.
Please be in touch if you’d like to request a lower supported rate to make our work possible.
