My Approach to Pricing
I believe everyone deserves quality end-of-life support, and I know that cost is often the thing that gets in the way. That's why I offer a sliding scale that reflects real-world differences in financial resources and privilege. This isn't about proving need or inviting judgment; it's about access, equity, and trust.
All clients receive the same high-quality, personalized care, regardless of the tier they choose.
To use the sliding scale, review the tiers below and select the one that best reflects your current situation. If you're between tiers and able, I encourage you to choose the higher one; it helps make care accessible to others with fewer resources.
I know money can be a sensitive topic. All pricing conversations are completely confidential. Let's talk about what feels sustainable for you.
Tier 1
This rate reflects the true cost of services and helps subsidize care for those with fewer financial resources. Choose this tier if you have significant economic privilege and/or generational wealth.
-
You might identify with this tier if:
You can easily meet all basic needs and afford luxuries without worry
You have stable, high-paying employment or significant investment income
You have substantial savings, little to no debt, and could handle major financial emergencies with ease
You own property, travel regularly (including internationally), and have access to elite education or professional networks
You live in an affluent area with excellent amenities and have comprehensive health insurance
You have not faced systemic discrimination that significantly impacts your financial stability
Your support at this level directly enables me to provide accessible end-of-life care to my full community.
Tier 2
This rate is for individuals and families with steady income who can meet their basic needs but may not have a large financial cushion. You live comfortably, but still feel the impact of rising costs or limited savings.
-
You might identify with this tier if:
You have reliable income and can meet basic needs without constant stress
You have some savings and manageable debt, but unexpected expenses require planning
You can take occasional vacations and have some disposable income each month
You or your family own modest assets and can access healthcare without major financial strain
You’ve had access to higher education and live in a relatively safe neighborhood
You don’t regularly face discrimination that significantly impacts your job or financial stability
This tier reflects what many consider a “middle” level of financial security.
Tier 3
This reduced rate is for those experiencing financial hardship or facing systemic barriers to economic stability. If paying the standard rate would cause significant strain, this tier is for you.
-
You might identify with this tier if:
You struggle to consistently meet basic needs like housing, food, or healthcare
You have little to no savings and carry significant debt that affects your ability to get by
Medical or dental care often goes untreated due to cost
You rent or have unstable housing and no significant assets
You’ve experienced systemic discrimination or barriers to education, housing, or stable work
You rely on public assistance or community support to make ends meet
Even small, unexpected expenses can create a financial crisis
If this rate is still out of reach, the Community Care Fund may be able to help.
