Sliding Scale Options
It is important to me that my offerings feel accessible to everyone.
I have been exploring ways to make this possible.
One way I can do this is by offering sliding scale structure.
My hope is to continue to share my offerings in a way that is sustainable and that reflects my values.
I was invited to an event that offered a sliding scale option. I loved the way it was presented and felt inspired to do the same. Not only did they offer sliding scale options, they also explained in great detail how to navigate the sliding scale using an easy to read guide. This guide made it so much easier for me to understand where I and others may land on this scale.

Moving forward you may use the following guidelines when choosing what to pay for your reading with me:
Top of the Scale (or the left bottle) = High Cost: Supporting clients who cannot comfortably cover the middle cost option
If this is you ---> "I am comfortably able to meet all of my basic* needs"
Do this ---> Please pay the amount stated on the website plus an additional 30% of that amount (you can add this at the time of purchase).
Middle of the Scale (or the middle bottle) = Middle Cost: True cost of services
If this is you ---> "I may stress about meeting my basic needs but still regularly achieve them"
Do this ---> Please pay the amount stated on the website only.
Bottom of the Scale (or the right bottle) = Low Cost: Supported by clients who can comfortably cover the high cost option
If this is you ---> "I frequently stress about meeting basic needs & don’t always achieve them"
Do this ---> Please pay the amount stated on the website minus 30% of that amount by entering the coupon code*: SLIDINGSCALE30
*I know that using a coupon code or adding a percentage amount is not as easy as simply clicking a button to select the price you are able to pay and I also had to find a way to do this that actually functions within the technical background coding of my website! It's a work in progress and the best I can do for now.
