The hourly price match model
One of the core values I hold is accessibility. When I was re-imagining how 1:1 support would look, I knew I wanted to try my best to meet you where you are in your career as a Massage Therapist.
I created the Hourly Price Match Model to transparently provide accessibility while advocating the value of my own labor.
I take a different approach to pricing by charging Massage Therapists their own hourly rate: One hour of your time for a day of access to me. Simply put, I believe this is the fairest pricing model for professionals all around the world because it creates equitability and access for different people to find support from different backgrounds.
By charging each Massage Therapist their own hourly rate, it allows me to truly meet everyone where they’re at by taking their full humanity and unique situation into account, including:
Built into this pricing model is a $60 minimum to create sustainability by honoring my time and labor. This intentional pricing means I never undercut myself and can ensure that everyone is cared for - even me.
If the $60 minimum doesn't feel attainable, I offer Special Pricing Support. This isn’t a “deal” or a discount—it’s for anyone experiencing times in their life when support needs to feel more attainable. You can read more about that on my Office Hours page.
But do I have to pay my hourly rate?
If you have any additional questions about my pricing model, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email and ask.

- In short, no. I'm not policing this. Paying your hourly rate for one day of access to me is a starting point, and you might find you fall elsewhere on the scale. When you sign up, you'll have the option to choose, in $10 increments, a payment of $60 - $120. If you are struggling with pricing and want more clarity around knowing if you should pay your hourly rate, more, or less - this might help.
