FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Generally I work with my clients on a sliding scale based on what they can afford. Usually my rate is hourly starting at $50 per hour and goes up to $80 per hour, depending upon the services rendered, the distance traveled, and the specialized/individually designed routine/healing modality.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
If possible I prefer to speak on the phone (or via email) before our first session together in order to gather some background information about your previous personal experience, any physical limitations/injuries/disabilities, and current level of health and physicality. We'll also discuss your goals (long/short term), specific requests and expectations for our sessions, your personal motivation, personality type, meditation methods practiced, personal spiritual beliefs (Optional, in no way will I judge nor attempt to change your beliefs) and comfort level. With this information I will be able to design an individualized class tailored specifically to meet your needs. I am happy to listen to your thoughts, feedback, or critiques and to answer any questions ??Namaste
