Here's some info about how to pay-it-forward, including financial gifts, non-financial support and my reasons for working this way.
How to pay-it-forward
My sessions are offered through a gift economy/pay-it-forward model. This model is rooted in mutual respect, trust and community care.
This means there is no fixed price for sessions. Instead of paying a set fee, you are invited to offer what feels right for you — financially, energetically, and ethically — in recognition of the care, experience, and time you receive.
I trust you to choose an amount that:
Feels honest and sustainable for you
Reflects the value of the session as you experienced it
Supports the continuation of this work for others
Why I work this way
I believe healing work thrives when it is:
Relational rather than transactional
Rooted in trust rather than pressure
Responsive to real, human circumstances
The pay-it-forward model allows this practice to exist in a way that aligns with my values, while remaining sustainable through collective generosity.
A note on money & access
Your contribution is received in good faith, based on your current circumstances and your honest sense of value. At different times in life, our capacity changes — that’s expected and respected.
I recognise that money carries different meanings, histories, and realities for each of us so if choosing an amount feels confusing or brings up questions, I’m happy to offer optional price ranges or talk it through with you without expectation.
You’re welcome to make your financial gift at a later time, when it feels more possible. Healing and care aren’t contingent on immediate payment.
If money isn’t available, non-financial gifts are also welcome — this might be a skill, a service, a creative offering, writing a testimonial, sharing my services on your socials or referring somebody who might benefit.
Your presence, your trust and your contribution (in whatever form it takes)
are what make this work possible.
