Regarding Stress, Health, Trauma, and Financial Burden.

 

Financial Hardships Rates

 

The stressors of the world are many. 

 

As I specialize supporting clients with simple and complicated stress, trauma, and illness conditions, I know first hand that the toll of these hardship effects our lives, relationships, jobs and our finances.

 

Many can benefit from the work I offer, and finances can be a barrier.

 

The services offered are based in traditional massage and are advanced bodywork and somatic skills. The fees are  higher than standard massage, and the benefits can be exceptionally higher.

 

You may benefit from this approach, yet the standard fees may be high for you.

 

Therefore, if you are suffering from a stress-illness-trauma condition and want to receive regular sessions, yet are constrained with finances, please contact me (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and we can discuss the possibility of reducing the standard fees that are described below.

  

A reduced fee is available on a case by case basis. 

 

This offer is for individuals with more complicated stress-illness-trauma conditions and financial hardship.  Any reduced fee may by temporary, and the price may increase in the future.  This offer may be revoked at any time.

Services are rendered based upon a 'sliding scale' fee.
 
Sliding scale means that you decide how much to pay within the range provided based upon your appreciation and your ability to pay.  For your session, there is a range that you can pay.

Why ''Sliding Scale''?

'Sliding Scale' means that you decide what amount to pay within the range that is offered.  Why?   
Some clients are in a position to compensate based upon the average rate for services of this high caliber.
Some clients  need this high caliber of service, yet are constrained financially by factors of health or life situation.
 

You decide the compensation based upon your appreciation and your ability to pay.

 

I offer the sliding scale, as my work is advanced, and not everyone who needs it can afford the rate.  So I aspire that those that can pay the higher end of the scale will do so, to support those who need the work, yet can’t afford even the low end of the scale.  

 
 
Consequently, I price my services so that it is in reach of more people.
 
 
 
Additional Fees
 
Additional time spent in phone consulation, research, report writing or other services not conducted in the in-erson or phone session are charged at the base rate for the type of session, with a 15 minute minimum charge.

Insurance: Auto Accidents
 
 
Billing for Auto Insurance accidents is available based upon a review of the case.
Many Insurance companies allow you to visit a massage therapist after an auto accident without a referal from a Physician or chiropractor.   It is common for a physician or chiropractor to prescribe massage to ease the pain associated with an auto accident.  Insurance companies routinely cover this.

I do not bill health insurance companies for payment.   
Payment is required at time of service.
I will provide you a receipt for the massage that you can submit to your  insurance provider, if necessary.
