Sliding Scale Guidelines
For Clarity coaching sessions
Lifted Being strives to make our coaching services accessible to people of different backgrounds and economic situations. To do this, we offer our one-off Clarity coaching sessions on a sliding scale.
A Guide to the Sliding Scale
Pine
$150
The Pine price is the actual cost of the session. If you choose a price below the Pine tier you are receiving a discount.
Consider paying the top of the scale if you:
are comfortably able to meet all your basic needs
may have some debt but it does not prohibit attainment of basic needs
own your home or property, or rent higher-end property
own or lease a car
are employed or do not need to work to meet your needs
have regular access to health care
have access to financial savings
have an expendable income
can always buy new items
can afford an annual vacation or take time off
Willow
$100
The Willow price is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this session may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship.
Consider paying mid-range on the scale if you:
may stress about meeting basic needs but still regularly achieve them
may have some debt but it does not prohibit attainment of basic needs
own or lease a car
are employed
have access to healthcare
might have access to financial savings
have some expendable income
are able to buy some new items and thrift others
can take vacation annually or every few years without financial burden
Bonsai
Negotiable
The Bonsai price is for those who struggle to meet basic needs and paying for this session would still be a significant hardship.
Consider paying less on the scale if you:
frequently stress about meeting basics needs and don't always achieve them
have debt and it sometimes prohibits you from meeting your basic needs
rent lower-end properties or have unstable housing
do not have a car and/or limited access to a car but aren't always able to afford gas
are unemployed or underemployed
qualify for government assistance including food stamps and health care
have no access to savings
have no or very limited expendable income
rarely buy new items because you're unable to afford them
cannot afford a vacation or don't have the ability to take time off without financial burden
Redwood
Pay it forward
$160 — $200
Redwood is a pay-it-forward price that’s above the actual cost of the session. The extra money goes towards supporting future pro bono and low-cost sessions. It's an opportunity to have your coaching session while also giving others in the community a chance to benefit from our services.
Special thanks to Worts and Cunning Apothecacy for providing the model for our sliding scale guidelines.
