Equitable Pricing Guide

The question of who should pay what amount can evoke a range of emotions and often proves challenging. Here are some resources that can help you consider your financial privilege and/or needs.

I created the following visual to help you assess your financial needs and/or privileges, inspired by the work at Worts & Cunning Apothecary.

Our financial position is greatly influenced by our ability/disability status, career income, household or generational familial wealth, etc. My goal is to ensure that people from all financial backgrounds have access to wellness.

You are free to choose from the three rates at your own discretion. This means that you are not required to prove or explain your financial need. By offering the freedom to choose, pricing for offerings becomes more collaborative and invites us all to reflect on personal and collective responsibilities of sharing financial privilege and access.
