Sliding Scale Fees

The Path Forward Healing offers a sliding scale fee for services to be obtained at multiple price points based on the circumstances of the client. We offer this from a commitment to serving individuals and/or communities that would otherwise not be able to afford the services. This method allows people who would most likely be priced out of something to have the chance to take part in it. It also seeks to address the systemic inequalities of class in our society. For a sliding scale to work, the method counts on the principles of truthfulness, respect for complexity, and accountability. The Path Forward Healing does not ask for income verification. We trust our clients to be honest.

The bottle on the far left is full of beautiful green potion representing the upper end of the sliding scale spectrum. Individuals who identify most with the statements in the far-left bottle qualify to pay for services at the upper end of our sliding scale. Individuals who identify most with the statements in the middle bottle qualify to pay for services at the mid level of our sliding scale. Individuals who identify most with the statements in the far-right bottle qualify to pay for services at the bottom of our price spectrum.

If paying for a service would be difficult, but not detrimental, it qualifies as a sacrifice. You might have to cut back on other spending in your life (such as going out to dinner, buying coffee, etc.), but this will not have a long-term harmful impact on your life. It is a sacred sacrifice in order to pursue something you are called to do. If, however, paying for a service would lead to a harmful impact on your life, such as not being able to put food on the table, pay rent, or pay for your transportation to get to work, then you are dealing with hardship. Individuals coming from a space of hardship typically qualify for the lower end of the sliding scale.

The Path Forward Healing created a structure that allows us to offer a total of 13 discounted sessions to you all each month! All of the prices on the sliding scale are a discount from the full cost of our sessions. These prices are available at a capped amount each month so that we can balance our need to make economic ends meet with our commitment to making these services available to all who seek energy healing. We are able to offer 7 people 15% off sessions each month, 4 people 30% off sessions each month, and 2 people 50% off sessions each month. If you go to book at one of these lower rates and see that it is not available, that is because we have already offered these sessions for the month. The options will become available again the following month.

Tier 3 - 15% off (7 slots)

Tier 2 - 30% off (4 slots)

Tier 1 - 50% off (2 slots)

Message us using this contact form to let us know the rate that works for you, and we will provide the discount code.

Sliding scale fees are not available for the introductory mini emotion code session, emergency emotion/body code session, or energy healing bundles.
