Services and Pricing Overview
A sacred pause and some honesty
If we truly want a more just and loving world we need to talk about money, class, and income, and personally and collectively work with our money differently.
My sliding scale pricing recognizes that:
Financial resources, including income, should not determine whether or not someone can access services/care/community, etc.
Facilitators deserve to get paid and participants deserve classes that recognize the multiple realities of economic access and privilege exist.
Our worth is inherent. Regardless of how much we are able to pay, we deserve communities that honor our financial contributions as equal. Please know I appreciate your presence equally. If you pay less, nothing more is expected of you, I am grateful you are here. You do not need to work harder or do more work - I welcome and celebrate you showing up as you are and however suits you best.
I ask that you take your time with the guide below and honestly assess where you sit within the scale when selecting your level.
Check out the work of two individuals and the organization whose work I have heavily leaned on and who have greatly inspired my pricing scale. This page was created based of the work my colleagues and I did at Grounded Connections.
Sliding scale price guide
I ask that you take your time with the guide and honestly assess where you sit within the scale when selecting your level. Each session type, workshop, or event should list these levels. I offer payment plans for longer sessions and coaching packages.
Pay-it-forward:
You have financial comfort, savings, your household has stable income, and you have the ability to support your fellow community members. If you own two homes or rental property I request you pay at this level.
Actual Cost:
You are able to meet your needs and have reliable income. This is the actual cost of the course/workshop/session and levels below this amount are subsidized by River and other members who have contributed to the pay-it-forward. If you have a two income household I request you pay at this level or above.
Access:
Your income meets your basic needs but any cost above this level would create a significant financial hardship.
Pay-what-you-can: You would love to participate but it wouldn’t be possible for you at any of the above levels. More spots will be available for pay-what-you-can as spots are donated by River and as members contribute to the pay-it-forward payment level.
Services
Relaxation, stress relief, and muscle therapy
Tending to the Caretakers- Nurture surround sessions for queers, parents, practitioners, and activists
Nurture surround sessions are for people who need a welcoming and relaxing space to unwind and to receive nervous system support. In these sessions, you will be pampered and surrounded by cushions, blankets, and heated pillows to bring your body to a deep relaxation. Once you and your body feel cozy, you will receive attentive, gentle, and therapeutic touch to where you feel pain and tension. The aim of these sessions is to rest, feel supported, and find relief from body aches, soreness, discomfort, and stress.
Nurture surround sessions do not involve deep somatic coaching and are focused on experiencing relaxation.

Scar Tissue Massage Sessions
Scars can form from surgeries, injuries, infections, and trauma to the body. Scars can travel beyond the point of original wounding, creating adhesions with muscles and tendons, tugging on the body affecting mobility, access to sensation, and pleasure.
