Sliding scale is always available for every service to my client’s in need, especially those in marginalized communities including BIPOC families and/or queer and trans families as well as those who face financial hardship, solo parenting, have disabilities and/or unable to work. I ask that those who are able to pay for the full fee do so that I can have the flexibility to care for those who cannot afford it. I encourage all clients to look through Alexis J Cunningfolk’s Green Bottle Method to learn more about economic justice and help you decide where you may fall on the sliding scale. Always reach out with any thoughts and/or concerns and I will ensure you have access to care that is affordable for you. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Everyone should have access to care! Please feel free to reach out regarding my fees and navigating insurance claims. Most insurances will cover the cost of birth support. It also makes for a great baby shower gift!
